Some days, I really feel like I have my shhhhh all together, if you know what I mean. Henry is super happy, I’m keeping the house all tidy, I’m getting my work done, and I’m even showered and wearing real people clothes. Other days… not so much.
I can’t help but feel totally flustered when I look at the clock and realize it’s 9:00 PM, I’m still wearing my pajamas, someone smells (and it’s me), I haven’t eaten since noon, and there’s spit-up down the back of my shirt. This, I know, is just part of life with a baby, which is totally fine. But still… I much prefer those pulled-together-supermom kind of days.
It might’ve been a flustered day, but Henry and I did manage to build an IKEA bed (he sucks at using the screwdriver) and take the dogs on a long walk. In the dark.
Hey, at least it got done, right?
Dinner was kind of a mish-mash – although I did make an excellent side dish; I’ll share the recipe tomorrow – so let’s flashback to last night’s dinner, which was really tasty and worth sharing.
Southern-style:
Steamed collard greens (made using this method)
Roasted potatoes and carrots
A lake of Bone Suckin’ BBQ sauce
Bob Red Mill GF Cornbread
Thought of the Day:
“You think the only people who are people are the people who look and think like you. But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger, you’ll learn things you never knew you never knew." – Pocahontas (yes, I went there)
Hey, you’re doin’ good, girl. You’re coherent enough to write blog posts that make sense, you haven’t lost your sense of humour, and you’re taking the time to enjoy your baby and pause to soak it all in. That’s pretty impressive on disrupted sleep!
Great effort… even if you’re a bit stinky sometimes! x
