Where to begin? this is the question i ask myself 7000 times a day. where to begin on my laundry (baby, preschooler, bed-linens, our clothes?!?) where to begin on dishes (unloading dishwasher, washing plastics by hand?!?) and again, where to begin on cleaning (kitchen, living room, bathroom?!?)
but today/tonight, i really had no idea where to begin? my week is packed with commitments that are not normally in our week, especially so many in one week. I had to shop, cook, bake, come up with crafts, outfits, etc. etc. etc. in and amidst all of this, we spent well over an hour (actually, just under two hours) in target because it was our happy place. the baby sang and danced in her Bjorn. M laughed and played and helped me shop. I shopped like i haven't shopped in years (although, i only bought one frivolous purchase... okay, three, but who was really counting?!?) it was so nice to not be at home thinking about what to do next. it was nice to just be... but then we got home, over an hour past schedule and it threw our entire night off.
i never made the two batches of cookies i needed to make (luckily not needed until noon tomorrow, so at least i have the morning).
i did take a shower, a much needed shower. i had waited a good 40 minutes from the last time the baby woke up (she's taking about three to four bedtimes before one takes lately), but as soon as i lathered up my leg for shaving and was on my third stroke, i heard her start to cry. well, of course i had to finish shaving that leg, and then the other (because i just can't be asymmetrical) and then my under arms by sheer necessity. Basically, i finished my shower. i felt kind of bad, but she was okay, and i knew it. and she went right to sleep once i held her in my arms.
and now, i need to go to sleep, because i have to wake up tomorrow to once again ask myself "where to begin?!?"
