What do you do when you know that your week will be off and that there will be little resemblance of a schedule? Do you push yourself to maintain some normalcy where you can or do you simply throw your hands up in the area and let it all go?
I’m currently stuck in limbo. As you all know, striving to find a schedule again has been a big aim of mine over the past few days. I went to the gym three mornings last week and I started eating fairly normal again. Then the weekend hit with the massive storm and I was completely thrown off any resemblance of normalcy. No big deal.
Yet, sitting here Monday morning, I do not know when or how I will get into a rhythm or flow for this week. Today, most places are closed. The roads are still pretty bad around here and they are saying do not drive unless you have to. And the best part is that we are supposed to get 6-10 more inches of snow starting tomorrow through Wednesday. While I still have to work, I can’t seem to motivate myself to do the simple things around the house that need to be done, like laundry or taking a shower.
So my week is filled with a bunch of question marks:
*Will I have tutoring today????
*Will I have tutoring on Wednesday???
*Will the dry cleaners ever be open again so I can pick up our stuff?
*Kids around here may not go to school all week (Friday is looking like their best chance) and they only went two days last week. Will these kids have enough material to tutor?
*Which days will I be able to make it to the gym in the morning?
*Justin is on travel most of the week, so will I be able to do all the shoveling alone (I think so!)?
*Is it even worth going to the grocery store this week? Seeing it’ll only be me, can I get by with just digging into the cupboard/freezer?
I feel like I am chocking this week up to a lost week. I’ll write and hopefully I’ll be able to tutor. Everything else, including the gym and grocery store is going to be a day time decision. I have to say, I’m ready for a nice warm, sunny, spring day where I can work outside on my front porch.
To Smile.

I couldn’t agree more! I have a feeling normalcy won’t resume until next week. I’ve been in my pajamas for the better part of 3 days – I need a regular schedule!
Wow – I really can’t even fathom that much snow!! The most I’ve ever seen (that I can remember) is maybe 15 inches.
I don’t do well when I don’t have a set schedule – even Friday, they let us leave work early (for, um, 6-8 inches of snow!), and when I got home at 3:30 I didn’t quite know what to do with myself.
I’m learning, though, that I thrive when I have to-do lists. I live by Google Calendar, and on the weekends I’ll usually print out my agenda for Saturday and Sunday and check things off as I go.
I pray you guys don’t get a lot of snow this week – I think you’ve earned your fair share!
i love my routines but sometimes it keeps things interesting to have to change it up!
I definitely think the snow would mess w/ anyone’s schedule! My sister lives in PA and they got 18 inches over the weekend and expect 6+ tomorrow night. Boo! That makes it difficult to go about your day when the roads are questionable and a bunch of businesses aren’t even open!
