But, it's real life again. It's mopping the bathrooms and the kitchen. It's working out in the gym until child watch texts that your kid has a dirty diaper. It's scavenging the pantry to save on the grocery bills. It's folding up heavy sweaters and fleece tights and long socks and putting them away until fall. It's correcting Bradley when he yanks on the blinds for the hundredth time.
Literally, everything is being reset: our diets, our fitness, our budget, our schedule, and even the season.
I love finding chapters in my life. This is the start of a new chapter, definitely. The last one ended with a bang.
This last few months, we visited friends and performed at a comedy festival, saw Bryan's parents. I flew to Florida to celebrate one of my best friends' future marriage in one of the best bachelorette parties. 
Days later, I flew to meet Bryan in Vegas (sans baby) to drink, gamble, see shows, love and enjoy the city with Bryan. 
Then, Bryan had a week off work and we spent most days sleeping in (thank goodness for the growth spurt, Bradley slept in to 8:30!!!). We got takeout and watched movies and took naps and played games and drank some more.
It was fabulous!
But our pants are tighter, our bank accounts smaller, our house messier, our energy recuperated. We are ready to reset.
Today, I handled Operation Clean House. Tomorrow will be Taxes. Wednesday will be meal planning. We had a big budget discussion, and we are cutting back all spending.
We have literally nothing but gymnastics on the calendar. No trips, no birthdays, nothing right now. It's the time for us to save money, eat better, be more active and be more at home, enjoying time where we are.
