From A Day in the Life

Next time someone downplays the work involved with being a stay-at-home mom, or snidely says that it must be nice to get to work from home, share this Friday morning with them.



TGIF?

H temporarily back in crib during pee pee run= not happy
6:00am
B in bed playing with Prayer Bear (AKA loudest stuffed animal ever to exist—thanks G.G.)
H finally settling for water, falling back asleep despite said Bear
6:15am
"PEE PEE!!" (more came out—through the seat, onto the floor, my feet, and his pajama shorts)
B, having been up for an hour and a half, is bored of being in bed, now just yelling
H, despite the noise, still asleep
6:30am
B in my bed, watching and singing to Elmo (thank God for Tivo)

Hit in face with poop smell as baby’s bedroom door is opened

H smiling (poop in diaper and on sheets)
7:15am
H, crib, and changing table, changed
B peeing (apparently takes after me)
Poop laundry started
7:45am
B finishing 2nd half of banana and 2 packs of oatmeal

Sending my first work email of the day

Little Einsteins coming on (aahhh)
Stale cake for breakfast
Forecast:
Desired—Play nicely all morning, eat lunch, synchronize naps
Probable—Toys being thrown by mid-morning, too tired to eat lunch, alternating naps
