I need to write on here more, but sometimes things/life is just busy and the days go by so quickly and I look back and wonder what I did with all of that time. Do you ever get that feeling? Most days I am home for the majority of the day, K still usually takes 2 good naps a day, and we try to be home for those as much as possible because she is a much better sleeper at night if she naps well during the day. So, what do I do all day?!? This is a question that my husband often comes home and asks me, and it really irritates me because it’s not like I am home and just sit on my butt all day. But yet, there are days at the end of the day that I ask myself the same question.
I guess the hard thing is that I do a lot of things that are unquantifiable (is that a word?), like feeding K or playing with her, getting her down for a nap, or trying to get her down for a nap, that take up a fair amount of time but are not necessarily “productive” things. You can’t look back after feeding K lunch and say, “Okay, I just spend a half an hour doing that and I can see the results.” You look at her face, her hands, her high chair, the floor, and say, “Wow, I just spent a half an hour feeding her and now I have a bunch of clean up to do.” Or like one evening when I was trying to get dinner ready and entertain K at the same time. She was climbing in the cupboards and pulling everything out onto the floor. So, I am doing one thing, making dinner, and creating another thing for me to do later, put everything back in the cupboard, so it feels like, and looks like, I didn’t really get anything accomplished. But, I know that not every day has to be a super productive day. Things will get done as they need to get done, and I will blog as I find the time. And the most important thing is that I get to be home and take care of and spend time with my daughter, and that is the most amazing and special, thing that I get to do all day.
Okay, I really need to go and get some stuff done before Jer gets home from work! 🙂
