Alexis is finally in a great routine with sleeping, waking, eating, napping, etc. And I really try not to throw that off because we all know what happens when you break a good routine. I have no support or help during the day, so when she is awake it is all her time. When she is sleeping, it is a mad dash to clean up, start the washer/dryer/dishwasher, find a split second to pee and eat, maybe pay a few bills, etc and then she is up again. Then when Ryan comes home, I feel guilty doing chores because I want to spend time with him and then it is bedtime.<br /><br />I thought that I would have so much time to do things! Like catching up on her baby book, packing boxes for the impending move, etc. I felt like when I worked, I MADE time for those things. Now it is just the day to day and there is no time for those things.<br /><br />Can't wait for everything to work out and you can finally be a SAHM!!! It is such a great gift for your children!Laura D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797674914035743468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996056372564743797.post-9067261221474262732010-12-08T05:43:22.481-05:002010-12-08T05:43:22.481-05:00LouAnne - Hello and thanks for stopping by!
Laur...LouAnne - Hello and thanks for stopping by! <br /><br />Laura & Laura - Thanks for your kind words. I think things will all be different in a couple months - it's just waiting for all the pieces to fall into place. I know a SAHM doesn't have a ton of extra time but I'll have more than I do now. :)Jessica Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500048689570388757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996056372564743797.post-56542527210022667302010-12-07T13:56:49.877-05:002010-12-07T13:56:49.877-05:00It's amazing how sometimes we feel so alone, a...It's amazing how sometimes we feel so alone, and yet we are never really alone. It's so comforting to hear the same thoughts you have are not yours alone. I hear you loud and clear.Laura Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11497515821363116959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996056372564743797.post-41360625267468635222010-12-07T12:55:07.012-05:002010-12-07T12:55:07.012-05:00Jess, I struggle with this one too.

I hate to do things with my friends here, because I know we will be moving soon and I know they will be friends of the past due to distance. Plus, my friends here all work FT. I get so lonely during the day. Hoping for a phone call, an email, a something from someone. I don't NEED it. Ryan calls me now and then between clients. I have my beautiful baby girl. But we all crave companionship. We have our wonderful husbands, but we crave the friendship and companionship of others going through life the same as us. We mommas need to stick together! And I swear, one of these days...you and I are meeting for a playdate! I would love to catch up!Laura D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797674914035743468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4996056372564743797.post-72708357140212888002010-12-07T09:20:04.035-05:002010-12-07T09:20:04.035-05:00Wow..
