Daily Rhythms

This has been weighing heavily on my mind lately. I am not anti-schedule, but I donot like the rigidity of most schedules.

I know, I know. The level of rigidity is dependent on the person, blah, blah, blah. But the whole concept is a scary one. However, I think boychik will greatly benefit from a Daily Rhythm. Sounds so much nicer than a schedule or routine, doesn't it? His personality seems designed for this.

Here is what is on "The List"

  • Wake Up
  • Prepare and Eat Breakfast
I'm going to need some help with this!

We're Moving!!

rooms that is. :) We are flip-flopping the kids room and spare room. Once all the stuff is out of the spare room then we (read me only with the help of 3 young ones) are pulling out the carpet, scraping the popcorn off the ceiling, priming, painting and prepping the floor. Then the mister will come in and lay down the wood floor.

The state the spare room is in now is enough to make the baby Jesus cry. It is something else I tell ya.

And at the same time I am decluttering and simplifying. We have so much junk it is unbelievable. When we do move I want to take as little as possible.

I'll post pictures of the room progress.

Doctor & Library

The kidlets had an appointment with the chiropractor toady. Dr. April does craniosacral therapy as well as regular chiropractic work. Tallulah really enjoyed the visit. Isaac, on the other hand, was meh on the whole thing.

eta - I forgot to mention. The doc took some pictures of the kidlets spine. Tallulah's neck was at a 37 degree angle (should be 45 degree) with slight wonkiness to the lower part of the spine. Isaac had an inverted curve (almost straight up and down) on the neck with curve to the spine. It was enough that the mister and I could look at the x-ray and know something was off.

Afterwards, we met up with some friends at the library where Isaac got his very first library card! He is super excited about the card. My boychik is growing up so quick.

Great Perseids

Did anyone see the Perseid meteor shower last night? The kidlets were asleep before the show started, and even though I went out twice to look the street lights were too bright. I was really disappointed. But other than chunking rocks at the lights there was nothing I could do.

And thanks to the mister for waking up and going in the backyard with me. I was too a'frightened to go out by myself.
