the need for a schedule

The last few weeks in my life have been very busy and some would say CRAZY! I have found myself to be tired, short tempered and just not very happy so it's no wonder that the kids are acting the same way. I realized that we have been on the go and spending a lot of time out of the home that the kids are just kinda being passed along. There has been no set meal times or nap/bed times. But the killer for me is having all of the grandparents around telling my kids "yes" when I say "no". Don't get me wrong I love the fact that my children have so many grandparents in their lives and I love watching them get spoiled.....after all isn't that what grandparents are supposed to do?!? But after weeks of ice cream before dinner and "Grampy says I get to stay up late" I think it's time to get back to the rules!

So today starts our new schedule, a lot like the old one we're just going to follow it now :)
