Just Like a New Mum!

ACN, Frenzied Friday, Indepence at Home, Parenting, Utilities

Not in that glowing radiance kinda way, but more like it’s 5PM and I just stepped out of the shower!

I had the best of intentions, really I did. I put on my workout clothes at 9:30 this morning, fully planning on following the daily routine: breakfast for Poppet , Workout, Lunch, Nap, Clean, Dinner, Sleep, etc.

Well, that was the intention. Then the phone rang. I had left my transferring of my household utilities to ACN until the last possible moment, like my procrastinating self! I rushed to set it up.

Then it was off to a tech support call. Poppet wanted the phone. Screaming ensued. An hour later I’m on the call and Poppet is still screaming (although behind 2 closed doors and sitting in her crib by now). I try to concentrate on what I’m being told. It’s pointless! Once off the phone I grab Poppet and we have a wonderful lunch, she in her big girl booster seat, me in my workout clothes.

I go to put her for a nap. The phone rings again. By 3PM she is finally asleep, I am catching up on some household items, but not nearly enough, and 5PM hits with me still being in my workout clothes, headed for the shower, feeling like I’ve just performed an entire day’s worth of mental aerobics! And so I feel just like I did as a new mum – disorganized, tired, dreaming of working out, and catching a shower only when I can!

Warmest regards,
