Wash, Rise, Repeat

Things right now are in a repeating loop. Get up, get the kids food. Let them play, get them out of the house, or snack. Play. Lunch. Play. Think about dinner. Play. Make dinner. Play. Eat. Bath, bed, ba-story (sorry, I wanted another B word).

There is nothing wrong with it, but while being on leave there are no milestones. No weekends, no "Oh, I have a meeting on Wednesday" or anything. So when I can remember if something happens with the kids, I have a hard time remembering if it happened today, yesterday, or a couple of days ago.

Lack of sleep could be a contributing factor to my memory issues.

I feel so lucky at being able to be off. I can help get Alice to / from the bus. Help with activities for Isaac, and help do all the baby stuff with Lucy.

Another thing that it allows me to do is take my time planning on what I'm making for dinner and be able to do things like fresh bread and stew. These aren't things that I'll be able to make after picking kids up from daycare / aftercare and getting home at 6pm. Well, not for that day.

Things are good though. The kids are great. I think that we're all having fun.
