The Mom Window

There is a sacred, precious window of time in each mother's day.  It's those minutes, or if you're lucky, hours where your child is not around, whether playing by themselves or again, if you're lucky, napping.  Precisely 3 hours after my little one awakes, I put her down for a nap.  But during those 3 hours she's awake, I meticulously plan out what shall happen during my mom window. And I'm always usually conflicted.  A few hours of mind numbing television and eating a bowl of something extremely unhealthy for me (without tiny pinchers invading my unhealthiness) sounds tantalizing. But if I do that I'll be resigned to doing the laundry, dishes, blogging and even showering with a 25lb growth on my leg.  This is where I become thankful the Lord has blessed us with the gift, or should I say talent, of multitasking. 

My mom window today:

Bath and devotional (why is it so difficult for me to keep books out of the water)
Blogging and laundry (let me move my underwear off the keyboard so I can type)
Dishes and eating junk (seems counterproductive)
Cleaning and mind numbing tv (not my fault if the cleaning doesn't actually happen)
