One of my soon-to-be mommy friends asked what a day in the life of a domestic goddess looks like:
Morning
*It's a race to see who's needs are greater: His dirty diaper or my cup of coffee that will help deal with said diaper.
*Next, it's onto the breakfast table to shovel in a bowl full of oatmeal and fruit. I started teaching him sign language, so I try and add that in when he's not spitting his oatmeal at me.
*I look in the mirror to check on my tummy fat, and decide that I can still excuse it as "baby weight."
*I wipe the spit-up off my shirt and decide the shirt doesn't need to be changed....yet
Afternoon
*I look at my "to-do" list and am bummed that nothing is crossed off yet.
*I play with my baby on the floor because that seems more important than my chores.
*I run around like mad, performing various domestic goddess duties, (cleaning toilets, vacuuming the carpet, brushing my teeth, ect.) I might get a salary reduction if I don't keep up with these things.
*Late afternoon, I sit in front of the vanity and make an attempt with my make-up and hair products to look sexy and refreshed.
Evening
*I throw the little guy in my husband's arms and race to finish dinner. On a good night, there's vegetables involved. Sometimes, though, it's Hamburger Helper and toast.
*I act super-busy so that my husband will change the baby's diaper and give him a bath.
*Trait will, in fact, give him a bath but then I go hang out with them anyway because there's nothing cuter than a baby splashing and trying to eat a rubber duck.
*The little guy goes to bed so I can spend quality time with my main man, which usually involves romantic interaction and relaxation....or dishes and collapsing on the couch.
I'm glad I worked so hard for my college degree.

love the blog. Very inspiring. Made me remember when I had 3 and wondered if I would ever have a "normal" life again. Now that I do, I can't wait for my kids and grandkids to come over (it's just better now- they like to leave)
This is my life. This is my life. This is my life. This is my life. This is my life. This is my life. :) Seriously. There's way too much truth in there.
P.S. I found you through the Oklahoma Blog group. I'm in Tulsa. How about you?
I am FINALLY getting a chance to read this, the past month has been a blur with all the confusion on my tests, etc....THANK YOU so much for writing it all down, I LOVE it! ...well, I love that you wrote it down, I'll need some time to actually "love" doing all of this - at least for the time I'm home on maternity leave. :-) This helps me not feel so much pressure to do EVERYTHING! You rock, DG. :-)
