Groan. I feel like I am in such a rut lately! Wake up, pump, nurse Lily, race off to work, change babies, feed babies, burp babies, come home, nurse Lily, pump, make dinner, do laundry, bathe Lily, nurse Lily, pump, lather, rinse, repeat.
Every night, I try to fit in a LITTLE something for myself. Maybe it's catching up on Real Housewives of Wherever on Hulu, doing a little nutrition research, or reading a few chapters of a book....but just something that nurtures my soul a little. Nobody's asking for a spa day, here, I would just enjoy a little spice to my life--but the fun kind, of course....not the catastrophic kind. I wouldn't even mind taking Lily with me if I go somewhere, I just crave a little variety in life right now.
Mr. ABC123 and I only have a day off together once every three weeks, and it makes scheduling family activities tricky. I would love to take Lily to the beach for the first time or get together with my brother and sister-in-law, but the timing never seems to work out. I'd even be good with laying in the sun and enjoying a good book, but the clock just keeps ticking away, the days march on, and I don't take the time for myself that I should.
What do you do to hold onto a little piece of "you" in the craziness of marriage and motherhood?
