Restored Routines

Normally I would associate myself with those who eschew routines of any sort. I like things new and different. I bore easily of patterns. But in this season where I have no patterns or schedules, I welcome the return to the school routine this morning. Up early. Trying to finish my shower before the hot water runs out. A too-quick breakfast. Shuttling the kids to two different schools. Settling down over a hot cup of coffee with my blog. Nothing like the absence of structure to help one appreciate the value of structure.
