Short on time

valancy_janeUnfortunately, most days go like this:
- Baby wakes. Breastfast for her. It's 5amish.
- Get to work by 6.
- Work until 5, 530.
- Make dinner until 6, sometimes 630. (Takes full hour or more as many baby interruptions. Fussy time starts around 5.)
- Eat dinner until 6:45.
- Get baby ready for bed/nurse to sleep 6:45-7:30/8.
- Clean up house, dinner 730-830.
- 30 minutes to self, then bed.
In this 30 minutes, sometimes hour if I'm wild and stay up late, I try to writeeditreadcleanorganizeplan. Then I brush my teeth and wash my face and go to bed and start over.
Sometimes I get stuff done by simply staying up until midnight and working on virtually no sleep. But that's rare. I like sleep. Mostly I just wait for the weekend, where I might get 2 hours a day to myself when she naps.
I'd like to write interesting things, but as you can see, pretty much every spare bit of time and talent I have is spent elsewhere at the moment.
I'll be back when I can be.

Date: 2013-01-16 03:42 pm (UTC)Really, things are a lot better. It's just hard because we donl't get a break-nonstop treadmill-no day off together, and to-do's are massively piling up. We're reaching out for help (a little childcare so we can both work Fridays and have Sunday off together, housekeeper visit maybe once in a while) and we can't bloody get anyone to answer our emails. We're talking 20 prospective inquiries and NADA.
So...not much left of me/us to go around.
Frantically catching up on email/to-do's now as she's freakishly slept in!!! I'm usually grateful if she makes it to 7am and it's nearly 9!
