Anyone else having a hard time...

I was just thinking the same thing, Michelle!

My last full day in the office was waaaaaaaay back on 21st December (I was in for a few hours on Thursday 27th December, but not a full day & it was sooooo quiet, it didn't really count as a "normal" day) ... I'm off work for the remainder of this week too and not due back in my office until Monday 7th January!!!! My routine is COMPLETELY OUT OF WACK and it's also having an impact of my creativity! With all the time off work I've had, you'd think I'd be knocking out LO's left, right & centre ... but nope ... I've created just ONE page during the whole festive period ... that's shockingly bad for me!!!

Hoping to get back back into some sort of normality this weekend!

 

It's been 6+ months since I have seriously scrapped (like more then a page at a time) and yesterday I scrapped two. It feels so good to be scrapping again. I thought it would be hard but these last two pages I created are some of my favorites. Course I gotta thank TLP for helping getting me outta my funk

 

I'm having trouble getting back into the work/homeschool routine for sure! It is hard when you have a couple weeks of time off and then have to hop back on the train.

 

Today is my first day at work in a week...I don't even want to go through my hundreds of emails that I avoided while away.

 

I have to shove myself into life LOL I am getting way too much sleep, don't know what I will do when the kids go back to school on the 7th ......dreading the early mornings LOL

 

i am back at work today. but i am so out of routine. i need to get out of my pjs so i can pick the boy up from school!

 

long summer school holidays here too... have had a couple of weeks off work (though I work from home) and I know come the 8th I am gonna be all confubbled...

though the daily challenges here are sure helping!

 

We've been sick here since a couple of days after Christmas. DD had a 4H meeting on the 26th and we've spent the week since feeling pure miserable. I'm finally starting to get back to my old self, but it's after 10:00 and DD and DH are still in bed. I'd planned to start DD back homeschooling yesterday but I'm just giving up on this week. Doing what I can around the house and hoping that next week gets off to a better start.

 

YES...totally! The boys go back to school on Monday and then I can finally have my routine back. I do so much better when there's a schedule. I run constantly taking this boy to school or that boy to school but I totally manage my time so much better than if there is nothing going on. Hubby went back to work yesterday (insert YAHOO) so things have been a bit calmer today!!!

 

I'm heading home from visiting family this weekend, and am very much looking forward to getting back into my usual routine. I've enjoyed having the time here over the holidays, but am really missing home and hubby.

 

I feel so unraveled still. My kids don't go back until the 8th...DH has been on leave since Dec 4th and he goes back to work on the 8th too. Then my there's my Grandma...she has been here since Dec 18th and is leaving on the 7th. While it has been amazing having everyone together over the holidays, I feel sooo behind and I'm ready to get back to a somewhat normal routine.

 

I have 2 in public school (elementary) one in preschool and 3 home-schooled and one (gulp) starts college next week!
We took 2 full weeks of no learning, brain dump completely! today, they vegged on puters and games! I am not sure a few even got dressed or brushed their teeth! bhahah
but we are back to the grind on Tuesday...everyone!
ugh, that means me too! lol

 

Oh my goodness yes! Hubby has been off for the past two weeks and that totally throws me and the girls schedule off. It drives me insane, but I can't complain because he is home spending time with us. Right before Christmas my lappy started freaking out so hubby and I are sharing a computer again which is difficult. I can only use my lappy to view things on the web, it won't let PSE work. For Christmas I gave hubby a new computer game so getting on the computer is absolutely impossible these days. My scrap time is 0% right now. He goes back to work on Monday, and the girls go back to school on Tuesday. Maybe then I'll finally be able to get back into a routine.

Now to help you out Michelle I would recommend finding something very emotional to scrap about. Something so emotional that you just can't let it go unscrapped. Things like this really motivate me and most times turn out to be my favorite layouts. Good luck finding your routine again!
