\nNo, not my biological clock… that ship has happily sailed away and two boys is plenty, as you know. And although, I swear I had my first official hot flash this past week, that is not *the tick tock* either.
\n
\nI’m craving routine in the worst way. I miss having a structured day where the pockets of time are filled with prescribed tasks and each one is completed in that time. Check!
\n
\nBut as I look at the piles of laundry (all clean, mind you, but they are in what I’m referring to as the staging area [couch]), I wonder if I will ever catch up to the point of making a routine. Time is always my challenge, and even with great plans and a pretty swell brain, I’m only one body with two ears counting the tick tocks.
\n
\nMaybe routine is not what I need, but a wee bit more control. Lately, I’ve had to be reactionary, instead of leading the way in my life. I understand that life isn’t always in our control and we do need to react instead of lead, but it can’t be all we do. I think that’s how people, particularly women, lose themselves along the way.
\n
\nMy moment is deciding to take back control. I know the steps I need to take will take some time, but I can make up my mind in an instant. My life will be mine again. Check!
