My day

It's sad how I haven't made time to blog at all since Eoin was born. I find my days are FULL, and I don't have time to do the stuff I need a lot of times. Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming baby E, I'm just stating a fact. I have no idea how mommies out there do it all!
Today was SO full! I couldn't sleep at all last night, and finally fell asleep at 5:30. Thankfully E sleeps through the night 95% of the time (He's perfect). So I didn't get woken up till about 10:30. I was so hell bent on getting stuff done today, and I almost killed myself making it happen.
I did about 6 loads of laundry. I never knew that having a dryer was such a blessing... now I do. Our dryer stopped drying about 4 weeks ago. I bought a clothes line, and have been using that. It's not so bad, my only complaint is that it's HOT outside! By 11 this morning it was already over 100 degrees. It only takes about 10 min for my jeans to dry, but in that 10 min, I've become sunburned and dehydrated. Seriously, I pity the neighbors! Here I am standing outside in the least amount of clothing legal within the city limits, trying to make shade with the sheets. I know, the mental image is more than you needed. Now, here I sit with a couch full of folded and sorted laundry & my two boys are asleep so I can't do anything with it until tomorrow. bummer
I also managed to vacuum the living room. I know it's not a huge accomplishment, but it seems like every time I've tried in the last week there is some reason I can't. Like E is sleeping, or he's playing on a blanket on the floor (because mommy never vacuums, the blanket is a necessity). I had one of those mommy aha moments today! I could pick up said baby off of the floor! I'm an idiot, it's not like he cares, he was just as happy in his swing (which conveniently the vacuum fits under). He's usually content if he can chew on something and talk to his friends (the monkey, parrot, frog and butterflies). So there was #2 Huge accomplishment.
#3 was doing the dishes, not only was there a sinkfull to begin with but then my #4 accomplishment really added to the mess. I made baby food. Yes, there's a little granola-girl hiding inside of me just begging to get out. I went to Fresh and Easy and bought some organic sweet potatoes, and dug out the food processor. At this moment there are little ice cube trays full of orange mushy stuff in my freezer. All I have to say is that it's edible. I don't like sweet potatoes at all, but I tasted it, and it's not so bad. Have you ever tried jarred baby food??? I don't want my poor baby to have his first experience with veggies be that crap! I'm sure he will eat all kinds of baby food from Gerber, but for now while I've got the time. I think this is better. Tomorrow my goal is carrots, and possibly green beans. We'll see....
