Ever wonder what you can accomplish in two hours?
My life has become mini chunks of two hour windows. It's been an adjustment, but my task master self is adding another project into my daily routine - this one happens to be a human being. It took me some getting used to, and I'm still not there yet, but the two hour chunks are becoming a bit routine.
I have at least two hours at different intervals during the day to:
-bathe
-attempt to nap
-attempt to create some kind of hair style, aside from the a) ponytail or b) clip
-balance the budget
-clean
-cook or bake
-read
-spend time with my husband
-eat
-write
Some of these tasks can be accomplished whilst baby is in a sling (which she is now, and out cold, bonus)
Then there are various 90 minute intervals that include:
-change dirty diaper
-breast feeding (I've mastered the art of propping the iPhone with one hand and reading feeds during a feed)
-burp baby in an attempt to stop spitting up
-relax baby post feeding
-try to make baby laugh with bad jokes (even though she's only 5 weeks old)
-see what apparatus baby wants to relax in a) sling b)bouncy seat c) swing
-change possible second diaper which became full during feeding (this one's a sneaky little thing)
It's no wonder that working moms make some of the best corporate citizens. What can you do in two hours?
