So far the morning routine is working. First, we actually have a routine. We didn't have one for about two months since the girls weren't in school and we had just moved here and had visitors, summer trips, etc.. Now the late summer routine is set and it's fresh enough that it gives me pleasure. I pack up the girls in the bike & trailer and take Claire to her kindergarten, and then Camille to her daycare. This takes until 9am - and I am free until noon when I pick them each back up again. Today 8/26 #10:10am. In the living room, working.
