we have a routine, but it's flexible.

sometimes I have to work late.

sometimes we have social events on.

sometimes I would rather shave off my eyebrows than unsettle DS to get him up and bathed, and I figure the world will not implode if his bath waits until tomorrow ...

but we have a routine, and WE decide when it will work for US to deviate from the routine, iykwim.

I'm a very organised person so routines and checklists are my friends, but I figure routines are only good when they're achieving your purposes - which in our case is to keep a happy, harmonised, balanced, healthy family!
