Try this again - not so ambitious this time... I'm not going to worry about housework as much right now as long as we are getting the daily upkeep done. I think I'm going to try to leave here every day at 9 with Chane so we stay in the habit of being totally ready for the day by 9.
Of course this is a perfect day - it would be nice if they go this smoothly but even if they naturally go okay I'll probably end up sabotaging something for excitement
