Being a stay at home mom is hard. I often feel completely unproductive because the results of raising a child are Long Term and not always visible day to day. This is the absolute best, easiest, and hardest job I have ever had.
I am completely responsible for a mostly dependent human life, you guys!
It’s sometimes easy to forget how to be a grown up. As a Parent I have to BE A RESPONSIBLE ADULT All the Time. But it’s hard to also actively be the kind of adult I was in my 20s and early 30s.
Today, however, I wanted to share my morning productivity.
Today I have
- Made coffee
- Done Pilates (Beginner Mat Workout)
- Showered
- Kept my son safe and moderately entertained
- Fed the Dog Twice
- Fed myself. And my kid!
- Got my kid down for his nap
- Pin Curled my hair
- Made a cup of tea
- Made a real sandwich
- And I made a batch of Bagels for the first time in my life
(If you go by my pregnancy diet…my son is 40% bagel. Carbs were the main thing I could eat without feeling totally sick for the first few months he was in utero.)
This afternoon I will:
- Eat all the Bagels (well on my way to this goal)
- Vacuum (haven’t done this yet)
- Make Macarons! (another first!)
