Rhythm of Life

Rhythm is something I crave so much...I love to have predictable nap times, preschool times, bedtimes etc. and it is always a struggle to establish regular times. I can't think of any job out there that drags you out of bed at 2:30 am and then 4:30 am and then all day long and repeat. Maybe a fire fighter has a similar schedule, but then he/she gets to sleep for a long 24 hour period every couple days. I think mothers should get the same 24 hour break every few days. Mothers are always putting out fires of screaming kids, hungry kids, muddy kids, grumpy kids, messy diapers at all hours of the day and night. On top of all that there is a messy house to clean, screaming goats to feed, shedding dogs to feed and brush, hairy cats, frog tanks to clean, bills to pay, business to run and meals to prepare. Preschool is starting soon, and that means there will be more rhythm and schedules happening so that maybe I can squeeze a space for everything to fit in.
