When I was a kid, I was amazed at how it seemed that my mom never sat down. Except for her morning Bible reading, she was always up doing something. It became a joke in our house that my mom never saw an entire movie we rented because she was always leaving the room to take care of something.
Now I've only been a mom for a little over 3 weeks, but already I'm beginning to understand. I have to catch my moments of productivity in bits and pieces when they pop up. A quick load of laundry during nap time, hurredly unloading the dishwasher while Paul does a diaper change, a fast swish of toilet cleaning after a 10-second potty break. This, apparently, is the life of a mother. It's beautiful, magical, draining, and requiring the utmost in organization and discipline. And I'm loving it.
Thanks, Mom, for all those times you missed the movie.

no kidding. and don't even get me started on how random my blogging time is! lol...
I still don't get to sit still for very long periods of time, but it does get better. There is a magic window where they are able to play and entertain themselves for a bit, but before they are able to roll and/or crawl everywhere. That little window of time is a blessing!
LOL... isn't that the truth!!! EEEkkk.. You'll find a routine and days will go by that no routine happens at all. Just LOVE that little girl of yours.
