A day in the life of a kind of working, staying at home mom

Right.

So I have a little side gig right now and I am in the thick of the project. So I am trying to work when I have some spare time, but also get the other things done like make meals, clean up meals, prep for new meals, wipe butts- the usual.

I got a lot of chores done this morning with hopes to knock out some emailing this afternoon. I put Bridget down for a nap and Nora was playing in her room and this is what happened:

#1- Bridget climbed out of her crib. Went upstairs and put her back in.
#2- Bridget climed out again and said she had to go to the bathroom. I took her. She went. Back in her crip.
#3- Nora came out of her room and said she had to go to the bathroom. #2. Wiped her butt. Came back downstairs.
#4- I decided to make some chai tea between #2 and #3 and then it bubbled over while wiping a hiney. Mess all over my stove, slightly burned tea. I drank it anyway and left the goo on the stove (for now)
#5- Bridget is still talking upstairs. Maybe she is not in her crib. Maybe she is. *sigh*
#6- Nora is bored of playing. She comes downstairs and can't find her Little Mermaid coloring book among the 20 other coloring books she has and HAS TO have this one. She is whiney. Oh thank God she found it.
#7- I responded to one email. wrote one to my BBM table. Checked Facebook. Checked Totally Target. Paid a bill. wrote another email. And then decided to blog.
#8- I just got a text message.
#9- My mind wanders- Maybe i should make cookies with Nora instead of work. I am working all day tomorrow. Why do I even bother doing anything work realted during naptime again????
#10- Maybe I should work now. Nora is coloring. Oh and I think I went to the bathroom somewhere between #6 and #7.
#11- I worked for a little Nora now wanted to watch a movie.
#12- put a movie in. went back to the computer. too many previews. went back and fast forwarded them. sat down. the movie needed to have the play button pushed. got up- hit play. sat down.
WHY DO I WORK DURING NAP TIME? THIS IS A JOKE.
#13- I hate this number
#14- put the laundry in the dryer
#15- sent an email.

blah blah blah blah blahh.
