The Ramblings Of Jenn Shuey

This weekend was definitely a busy one.  We’re still adjusting to life with a new baby and the fact that there just aren’t enough hours in the day.  We also learned just how difficult it  really is to pack up a newborn for trip out of the house…even if that trip is just a quick run to the Dollar General for some essentials to get through the weekend. 

Needless to say I’ll be shopping while Hubby stays with the baby from now on…or at least until she’s big enough to sit in the buggy.  The shopping carts at Dollar General are the half sized variety, so no matter how you turn it a car seat will NOT fit in one.  Ahhh the joys of being a new parent…so many lessons to learn!

I also thought I’d have more time on the weekend to get my work done since Hubby would be here to help me.  The truth is I have more free time during the weekdays while the baby sleeps.  Things were a lot more chaotic with all of us home.  Add in a fussy baby who’s going through one of those I want to eat nonstop phases, and I hardly got to touch the pc.  I didn’t get a bit of work done. 

Normally if I see emails for stuff like diet pills, discount ink, and discounts on belize hotels I’ll just delete the emails, but I spent so little time online that I was actually willing to read all the junk mail in my inbox this morning just to give me something to do online. I knew she wouldn’t be asleep long enough to actually get any work done. I remember a time when I was actually naive enough to think I could setup a work schedule according to the baby’s schedule. Right now I laugh and think schedule? What schedule? How long before she settles into a schedule, and will I ever be able to work around it? I just keep telling myself she’ll eventually go to sleep, and when she does I’ll take advantage of those times like I’m doing right now no matter how long it lasts.

Now let’s see if I can grab a quick nap before she wakes up again.  Then again just the thought of a nap seems to trigger her to wake up.
