Today hubby took the little one (LO) out while I had a few hours to myself. What did I do with my free time? In 1.5 hrs I did the little one’s laundry, vaccuumed my car, disinfected LO’s toys, cooked dinner (shake n bake), washed my car, watered the lawn, prepared breakfast, brushed my teeth and had breakfast/lunch. All in that order!
Before the LO I was a great multi-tasker. I worked 2 jobs while attending library school effortlessly and it was a thrill to be that busy. However I multi-task now out of necessity not for the adrenaline rush! It is difficult juggling work and my responsibilities as a mother. I never thought it would be this difficult! I don’t know how a lot of women do this on their own. However, I am learning to plan ahead, try new things and see how it goes. For example, I now cook once a week (Sunday) and this is enough for my weekly lunch as well as dinner for me and LO. But just when I’m comfortable with a new routine something changes and I need to adapt again. I can sincerely list multi-tasking, adaptable and open to change as soft skills on my resume!
