So in 4 weeks I'll be returning to work and as a new mother of two tiny humans, I've got a new challenge ahead of me. With the Little Human in school and the Tiny Human set to go to Daycare, it's a mixed morning of different directions. Add on the complication of the Tiny Human being only 2 months old and in a state of flux when it comes to a routine, feeling like I have control over my mornings, afternoons and evenings is needless to say not happening currently.
I am an organizational junkie. OCD to a point that I need post-it notes, calendars, color coding and apps to assist me. The rest of my home dwellers are not necessarily on the same page. So with the new year and the timeline to my return shrinking, I've decided January 3rd was the best time to start working on a routine that allows my organization/planning requirements to be met as well as allowing for some impromptu items as life tends to say "F-YOU" when you try to control too much.
Since I'm not there yet, I thought I'd share some other sites that I'm utilizing at this time to help schedule my time. Hopefully you can find some good tips as well to help you out. After all, we all have to plan for so many things based on our lives, who couldn't use a little help!

Now let's be honest, I just really want to get my Tiny and Little Human out the door with clothes on and hopefully I myself will have pants on too. I'm not thinking I will have all my ducks in a row and be the super mom that balances a workout, nursing session(s), pumping session(s), 3 course breakfast, shower, etc. to be completed every morning. No again, I emphasize, ARE THERE PANTS ON THE KIDS AND MYSELF? Winning if there is!
So here goes the routine, may I have sanity 38% of the time!
