Oh, the frazzled feeling of not being able to do what you planned. No zumba to youtube videos during nap, no shower for your (also) frazzled hair, and that increasing discomfort in your lower back because Little Man is growing like a weed and is oh so heavy to carry around.
But hear the soft sound of him finally being able to breathe through his nose because he's upright. (nasty cold) Feel that soft chubby cheek by your neck. Be grateful that there is one place that he is comfortable right now, and that this too shall pass. And be oh, so grateful that at this stage you aren't also chasing a toddler around like some moms are. And grateful that nothing major NEEDS to get done today. Except maybe folding that laundry in the dryer. Or that mopping of the kitchen floor you've needed to do for the last week (or two or three?). Meh, that'll come later. Right now I've got the cajon on top of the dining room table, and at this makeshift standing desk I'm catching up on long overdue blogging. Maybe I'll also do some nursing continuing education that I haven't been able to sit at a computer long enough for these days. Keep sleeping sweet baby. Get better. I want my cheerful, calm, curious monkey back.
