just over a week to go

School starts again in a little over a week., so we need to start making a few changes to re-establish a school term routine around here. In case you hadn't noticed, we're night owls, and not particularly good at mornings when left to our own devices.

Unfortunately, the school system doesn't really accommodate that, so the next week will involve setting the alarm and making sure everyone gets back into the habit of getting up, washed, dressed, fed and ready to go at a reasonable hour. I think I may need to plan morning excursions as an encouragement.

Work is starting to roll in faster as well, so it's probably good timing for me too - I need to get the discipline of regular work hours into place, so I can a) keep the work up-to-date, and b) plan regular NON-work hours. I find the temptation to sit in front of the computer very difficult to resist, but it plays havoc with the rest of my life, so despite my aversion to routine, I think some structure to my working week might be a positive thing.

Again, it's something I've been talking about for a long time, and this year it's going to happen!
