Double Edged Sword

Bella is asleep.  This means I have a chance to get things done, right?

Pfft.  In my dreams.  She's been fighting sleep so much during the day lately that I don't want to start banging around and wake her up.  If I try to move her to her room so the noise doesn't bother her, she wakes up.  I'm happy she's sleeping, but I really wish I could still get the cleaning done.  I've got laundry going, which doesn't bother her, but I need to finish up a few dishes before I start cooking and then have to do MORE dishes (its a neverending cycle, I swear).  I'd love to be able to just load the dishwasher as I go, but if I start doing that, I'll just get pissed off at myself because I'll inevitably need one of the dishes that I already loaded into the dishwasher cleaned so I can use it again ASAP.

So.  Instead of getting something accomplished, I am sitting here, playing around on theBump, watching football with Travis (this part isn't by choice, but he's been helping with Bella, so I'll keep my mouth shut), and munching on peanut butter M&Ms instead of making a real meal.  Don't get me wrong, I'd love to sit here and eat M&Ms all day long, and probably would, but I've still got about 25lbs to lose and they sure seem like they're not going to burn themselves.

That's something that I have to admit that I hate about myself.  I don't work out anymore.  I'd feel so much better, I know I would, but I get so much more concerned about doing ridiculous things like...showering.  I don't think I have a high maintenance baby by any means.  I mean, I know I'm seriously lucky that she's as good as she is, but it still seems like the few times I have the energy to get things done, she starts freaking out and wants held.  I love holding her and all, but I feel like I'm never going to get anything done.

Maybe I need to learn to work out while holding Bella.  That would be great.  I can imagine myself trying to figure out how to do Yoga (that alone is funny enough) while holding her the entire time.

If I try it, I'll be sure to take pics and share them.  I wouldn't deprive anyone of that kind of humor. :D

Anyway, she is starting to stir a little bit and I REALLY need to find food or I'm going to eat this entire bag of M&Ms and feel like crap for the next week.

  1. I feel like I could have written the exact same thing (except change out watching football for boring History channel shows).

    Ah the joys of parenthood. Pass those M&M's. :P
