Needing a Rhythm

I am feeling like I need a rhythm to our days. We are trying to keep track of Wonderful Moments this week(As challenged by Stephanie Happy and Free) but I am not seeing them. I have a rather bad case of the Blahs. I did go see the doctor and was diagnosed with SAD. And although I would rather take something like St. John's Wort I can't as it interferes with my thyroid medicine. So I took the chance and am going on a prescribed medicine. I really needed to try something. But with that said I feel like we need more of a rhythm which at this time we just don't have. I asked the girls if they wanted to try something a friend suggested where on Mondays we will do some sort of art project while listening to different kinds of music, Tuesdays play board games, etc. I know it seems very un-unschooling like but they do have the choice as to whether or not they participate and they will also be involved in the planning. So we are going to give it a try, knowing if something better comes along we can always do that too. Part of me is looking forward to trying it and part of me feels like a bit of failure. Well happiness for all of us is the goal so I guess if we are happy doing it then it is right.
