Ok so as a mom it has been a challenge to find time for myself, but generally I manage. I have finally figured out how to balance time spent with Abby but also finding time to do laundry, clean, organize and make food for myself.

So in order to do this I basically started playing a game with myself. Yeah I know… sad, but hey it gets things done. Over the last few weeks I have played “beat the clock”. Basically I try to see what and how much I can get done while Abby is drinking a usual 8oz bottle or sippy cup. For example, I have been trying to sync up my lunch time with hers and I have been working hard at it. That way I can eat during a time when she is content and is focused on her lunch. At this point, I can make myself a sandwich, add some chips and grab a yogurt and sit down and eat most of it before she is done. Pretty darn good if you ask me. I can also unload a packed dishwasher, fold a large load of laundry and put most of it away before she finishes a bottle as well. I should add that she sucks those bottles down in no time!

I know…sad, but its the little things in life that make a person like myself happy! I wonder what I can do to improve on my own little game? Ill report more if I do!
