So someone needs to invent a retractable arm that comes out of a parent's belly button to open doors, turn off lights, just all around help when one's arms are full. I find that I always have way too much to carry with the babykins, diaper bag, car keys, sunglasses, water bottle...I usually end up dropping something (not the baby) on my way out the door.
This week has been intensely challenging on my own. Work was more demanding that normal, Cameron has been...tempestuous, and I just have a lot on my plate (that I can't go into on here). When it rains, it pours! But by the weekend we should be able to relax a little, and I am gearing up for that!
I try to get as much done as possible when Cam is napping but some days it is a battle to decide what takes precedence. Most often it is work, then shower, then other things like eating or a 20 minute snooze for myself. At night when she goes to bed it is another decision and once again is usually work that wins out. I am lucky to be able to work remotely. It allows me to keep my job that I love and be with my baby that I love all at once. Win, win.
When we get settled somewhere I will probably get an additional job so for now I am enjoying the simplicity (ha!) of what we have going on. Just need a few more hours a day...
