yep, that's me!
ok, really?! NO WAY! I don't know how stay-at-home moms do it!?! I am whooped today!
here's what i did:
6am - wake up and let the dogs out (we're babysitting a dog for my mom. a YorkiePoo who's super cute, but wakes up screaming at 6am - and that's on a good day - ready to go out!)
6:10 - back to bed (while listening to the YorkiePoo wimper in her crate)
7am - wake up to crying baby (normal wake up time is anywhere from 7-8am) and am up for good.
7:15 - begin to make coffee, but then try to feed fussy baby...this is a failure, milk it is.
7:45 - cook breakfast!! YES i did, folks!! Bisquick pancakes. Not what a real domestic goddess (aka super stay-at-home mom) would do, but it's the first breakfast i actually had to turn something besides the microwave on for in years!!! maybe EVER!
8:30 - clean up breakfast
9:00 - play with baby and try to watch a little boob tube while waiting for it to get a little warmer outside
10:15 - baby grouchy and hungry (b/c she didn't eat any breakfast) so the only thing that appeases her is cheerios...Cheerios it is!
10:45 - baby down for a nap. I do a little more cleaning/laundry
11:30 - head out for a 6 mile run!!
12:30 - back from run, but baby still sleeping!! it's a miracle!
12:45 - baby up from nap, time for lunch!! she refuses everything except for the carrots i'm cooking for me, and only will stay in the high chair for 2 minutes at a time before screaming. (this is NOT her favorite place, but today is unsually strange...but it's part of being a mom, right?! :) and again decides she'll eat pretzels as long as i feed them to her NOT in the high chair. i MUST NOT GIVE in!! that's what i'm thinking as i'm trying to be super mom and teach my baby to behave and act like a sweet, responsible, polite little girl. surely she'll have to be starving at some point and eat, right?!
1:30 - give up on lunch and clean up.
2:30 - head out to work (i'm on call and have to run an errand for them)
3:45 - return home and start to cook dinner.
4:30 - dinner is in the oven! Begin washing dishese and cleaning up
5:15 - Dinner is served! and best of all, my husband and baby BOTH like it!!
here's the proof...i really did cook this. got the recipe from a Kraft Food & Family magazine. i've been getting these for years, but rarely use them! anyway, recipe is Undone Stuffed Pepper Casserole. and really, it was easy and pretty good!

5:30 - clean up dinner
5:45 - sit on couch and wonder if i HAVE to give baby a bath?! ;) write this post instead while i relish in my 2 meals, fairly clean house, and clean laundry! YES, i think....just for a moment...
I'm a DOMESTIC GODDESS!!
6:00 - finish post b/c baby wants to type and it's getting harder for me to fight her off...back to reality. time for baby's bath!!!

I don't believe it! I'm so impressed ... and you ran six miles! Supermom!
let's not call me that!! :) the running was the easiest part!! besides the running crew from Shreveport was running 13.1 that day!!
Funny, Mandy! It's always fun to see what everyone's day is like. It's easy to think I'm the only one loosing my mind... :)
There have been days where Ashby has only eaten bananas and grapes. And I just tell myself, some kids get happy meals. I'm not THAT bad! The ped told me, think of the whole week as a goal, not just a day in terms of nutrition! Hallelujah!
sarah!!! you make me feel SO much better!! She'll ALWAYS eat grapes and sometimes i feel really guilty resorting to those b/c it's the only thing i can get her to NOT turn her head to!!
In college, I learned that most Native Americans subsisted on the "Three Sisters": beans, maize, and squash. In parenthood, I learned that a toddler will actually thrive on cheerios, bananas, and grapes. It's not about quantity of the variety, but the quality of the limited selection. Welcome to parenthood!
LOVE it, Sarah!! she does survive on those 3 somedays!!!
