Thank Goddess Routine Has Returned

I'm one of those people who really likes a schedule...I like ROUTINE
Call me boring but if I can schedule every minute of every day...I'm very happy.

I think it probably makes Sir Hotness nuts but he's gotten used to it over the last year, so now when I ask what we're doing this morning he will answer with something like, "From now (9:45am) until Eleven (am) I'm going to sit here, drinking my coffee and looking at you... that's when I get to make a funny "Look at This face" and stick out my tongue ... but it also helps me relax, because over that next hour I don't expect anything of myself other than being looked at (and usually talked to)

With him travelling for his job now, I started to feel a little dysfunctional...but then I started thinking...what in the hell did I do with myself pre-Sir Hotness? And the answer was that I scheduled every minute of every day ... it came as a surprising revelation that I have felt out of sorts for months and it all falls back on not having a strict routine...

When we first got married he used to joke.."What are you doing now?"
And I would answer with something like "It's 8:30 (am) I'm doing laundry."

Then as our marriage has progressed, I've gotten more and more relaxed and just go with the flow of the day...that screached to a halt with his new job and me home to deal...

So I am back on my routine and am at peace...thank goddess I had that epiphany! Think I'm kidding? This is how my day begins...

Today:
7am wake-up/shower/Drive Beautiful Girl to school
8am Start laundry
9am Walk at Park (2mi)
10am Clean House, switch loads
11am Surf and Blog
12pm bank and errands
1pm Self promo-marketing
2pm Pick Beautiful Girl up at school

After picking up Beautiful Girl I give myself the freedom to write because my world is in order ... but break that morning routine and my writing day is screwed...

So, how about you? Are you trapped by routine or does your day proceed willy-nilly?
