Really that easy??
Honestly I really wish some of my days were like that. But there is always something to do. I bet my mother in law thinks I lay around all day! Yeah right! A mother and a wife never, ever gets a break. Unless of course you have a maid and a nanny...pff lucky.
Before being a mom I was always busy. From school, sorority, having 2 full time jobs, internship, professional organization, friends, family, and boyfriend. There was no break for me at all, but I really enjoyed being busy all the time. My mom used to make fun of me when she would see me because I was hardly at home.
My last job before getting pregnant was so demanding. I would go from meeting to meeting, event to event. My boss would call me, text me, email me 24/7. It was my last semester in college and I had very demanding classes as well. Business majors get to do A LOT of team work so pretty much I had to deal with a lot of people from different groups. My agenda was full of activities I had to fulfill.
OHH how things have changed.
It went from late nights of studying and/or working to late nights of feedings and/or trying to put my baby to sleep. (At least for the past 4 moths, Mikey has been able to sleep the entire night).
Now I have to worry about making breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Washing dishes, clothes, baby clothes, cleaning the bathrooms, vacuuming, folding clothes. Plus, feed the baby, change the baby, put the baby for a nap, bathe the baby, taking the baby to fun playdates, the doctor etc. Paying bills, go grocery shopping and run other errands. Pick after my husband...
It seems that my roll as a full time mom and wife is so more demanding than any of my activities I used to have in the past!! Of course, at least this "job" is rewarding because I get this every day :)
How was your life before becoming a mom?
