I added the "make appts on time" for my own sanity because it seems the only appt I ever make on time is Olivia's dr appts because they ask you to be 15 minutes early or they skip your appt. I was always on time for everything (actually early) before Olivia was born and now I just don't seem to care unless I know someone is waiting on me, then I'm on time! lol!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905054093214176999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488679637248241617.post-78026906566478736922011-04-28T08:52:48.317-05:002011-04-28T08:52:48.317-05:00Hey dear, I'm trying to find your email and I ...Hey dear, I'm trying to find your email and I can't...but take a look at Monday's post when you get a chance!

I don't get how other mama's do it. I know other mama's babies have actual scheduled naps and go to bed at a regular time.. Olivia doesn't nap at the same time or for the same length of time from day to day.. some days I can get in a shower and maybe a few chores around the house.. but other days I sneak away for a minute (one I've breastfed her into lala land) and she's already up and ready to go... sighhh.. My poor husband comes home from work and winds up doing housework. He's better at it simply because the baby isn't interrupting him OR undoing each thing he's just done (the baby can unfold each piece of laundry in 12 seconds which took me 20 minutes to fold) dohhhhh I hope more mama's post! Maybe I'll post the same thing on diaperswappers and find out what other mama's say!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905054093214176999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488679637248241617.post-30524041120066941502011-04-27T21:16:02.024-05:002011-04-27T21:16:02.024-05:00Find a babysitter who is just experienced enough t...Find a babysitter who is just experienced enough to watch Ian while you are at home doing other things! This is great for two reasons - 1. you can get someone in 8th grade now and lock them down for the next five years, and 2. they are still relatively inexpensive for a couple of hours a week. You get stuff done, Ian has fun, a 12 year old makes some (a little) money, and - most importantly - you feel like you got a lot accomplished!MBSalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10387789900884864645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488679637248241617.post-75352129461037553012011-04-27T16:45:12.388-05:002011-04-27T16:45:12.388-05:00Lately, I am hanging on by a thread.

What MUST get done, usually gets done either before everyone else in the house is awake, during nap time or after the baby is in bed for the night. I think from the outside, I probably look like I'm managing. But I'm totally not. I've cried every day for the last week. As I write this, Emmie just started screaming because the dog would not let her chew on his toy. He needs to go out. And yes, I am in pj's as well. Hang in there! And know that you are not alone!Kelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555189297189925391noreply@blogger.com
