I have time to finally blog a little because it is 7:50am and Savannah is still sleeping. Since the baby inside likes to wake me up now before 7am, it gives me some time to relax before I start my day. I thought I would share some thoughts about what a day in the life of me is and what I accomplish in a day/week. This is how I learned to be a stay at home mom. Life never gets boring or lonely.
Today I would much rather call in sick. My sinuses are acting up like crazy. I'm guessing either its from Savannah drooling on me and insisting on giving me kisses all the time like daddy does or from all the crops coming out of the field. Maybe its from both. It's a rainy day here so that means that I am not going anywhere. When you have a toddler that walks all on their own and you have no place you are forced to be at, you will wait for the sun to shine again. But anyways, I'm getting off track. I would love to call in sick today but the list of things that should get done just don't stop because mommy doesn't feel well. Savannah desperately needs a bath, her diapers changed, to be fed, and for someone to entertain her. Thats just the basics. Our fridge decided to start leaking last night...YES our BRAND new, 6 week old fridge is leaking. GRR. I will be calling the service men today to have them schedule sometime to look at it. In the meantime, I am maintaining a small puddle of water and discouraging a small toddler to stay out of it. I need to call the Subura dealership to schedule an oil change which I'm so glad I proscrastinated on now because I just received two emails about recalls on my car that also need fixed. I now only have to go there once instead of twice. Proscratination paid off that time. We are all out of bread so I will be baking a loaf of bread today with my nifty bread machine. Switching out two more outlets to white instead of ivory in Savannah's soon to be bedroom. Hopefully installing a new ceiling fan in her room if the directions don't take me forever to read. Dishes, laundry, and paying some bills are also on the top of my list. Grocery shopping needs to get done but I will wait for it to stop raining before I do that. Well there's my list of things to do today. Who gets bored? Savannah is now up and my day is off to the running. First I will have a cup of hot chocolate.
Heidi that is a great post. Things sure do get busy with us stay at home noms. And there are days you wish you could call in sick but you can't you muster up the energy and truck a long! Have a great day!
