Working Moms...

Being a working mom is hard work! Let's see, today I forgot the check for daycare and I forgot to pack nipples for Grace's bottles...signs that I am way too busy and tired! I have a patch of grey hair because I have not had time or energy to get my hair done. I'm still overweight and I don't have much time to grocery shop much less eat healthy...AHHH, Calgone, take me away!

Here is a day in the life of me...

5:00am wake up, take shower, get ready

6:00am wake up Grace to nurse (unless she has woken up earlier and probably thrown me off my morning routine

6:55am leave for work

7:30am to 3:30pm...work

4:00pm pick up Grace from daycare

4:20pm arrive home and nurse Grace

5pm start dinner and feed Grace

6ish dinner, play with Grace, time with Jonas

7:30pm...start bedtime routine with Grace

8:30pm pack Grace's bag, bottles, etc

9:00pm Spend time with Grace

10pm hit the sack (and get up at least once during the night to nurse Grace)

Can you relate?? This past weekend, I decided to throw it all in the wind...Saturday, Jonas, Grace and I went to the local Santa Ana Zoo for a couple of hours. It was great to get out of the house. We had beautiful weather! Then Sunday afternoon, we went on a hike in Santiago Canyon. We had a great time. But...I have to say that it was a bit stressful timing it all with Grace's naps, feedings, etc. All in all, it was well worth it.

Here is Grace...she makes it all worth it...

She's been working on her top tooth. I hope she cuts it soon. She isn't fussy, but sure has been trying to gnaw on everything. Sweet thing! I hear the molars are a real treat!!

Hope you have a great week! I'll be working on slowing down! So what if the sink is full of dirty dishes...

Blessings,

Beth
