Confessions of a stay-at-home mum

1:00 am - Baby cries, Get up, feed him, change nappy. 5 minutes later, change nappy again.

1.45 am - Back to sleep.

3.00 am - Baby cries, Get up, feed him, change nappy.

5.30 am - Baby cries, Get up, feed him, change nappy. 5 minutes later, change nappy again.
Hubby's first alarm goes off. Make a cup of tea and rock baby.

6.00 am - 2nd alarm. Hubby gets up for work. Makes breakfast for hubby.
Wash up night's used bottles and start the steriliser.

7.00 am - Go online, check e-mails to maintain contact with the world. Have a cup of tea and a
slice of toast, and a quick ( really quick ) shower while baby is still asleep.

8.00 am - Baby cries, Feed him, change nappy. Baby keeps on crying, pick him up and hold him
for an hour or two as he is wide awake and wants to be cuddled.

9.25 am : Watch Jeremy Kyle, also at the same time, feeling very glad that I've got a very happy
and perfect family here.

11.00 am : Baby cries, Get up, feed him, change nappy. 5 minutes later, change nappy again.
Grabbed a glass and make myself a nice cold drink. Make a sandwich for lunch.

12.00 noon : Go over to the superstore to get some shopping done for the day's dinner.
If hubby's back for lunch during lunch break, sit down with him to have a decent
lunch together.

12.15 pm : Check nappy again. Have an afternoon nap with baby while he is still asleep.

12.45 pm : Baby whines. Check nappy - NOTHING. Also not hungry. Pick him up, and he's
happy. Aaaah, just wants some cuddles and hugs.

1.30 pm : Baby cries, Feed him, change nappy. Watched WHO WANTS TO BE A
MILLLIONAIRE....Just to see how much knowledge left in my brain since I left
school. Hold baby for nearly 2 hours because he's awake and wouldn't let me put him
back into his cot.

3.30 pm : Watched Countdown to test my Math and Wordsearch skills. Have a quick shower.

4.15 pm : Watch DEAL OR NO DEAL with baby crying in the background. Baby cries, Feed him,
change nappy. Get dinner ready before hubby's back from work.

5.30 pm : Have dinner with hubby. Eat one bite. Baby cries. Get up, check nappy- Aaaah,
Pooped again. Changed nappy. Just about to put nappy in place - Oh no !!! Peee !
Weeeeee all over. Wet everywhere ! Wipe and Sterilize everywehere. Changed nappy.
Hubby's finished with dinner. Hands over baby to hubby. Now, I can sit down and
have my cold dinner. ( I don't mind that tho ).

7.00 pm : Baby cries. Feed him, change nappy. Baby finally falls asleep. Gingerly put him back in
his cot and envy the fact that he is sleeping.

8.30 pm : Wash up feeding bottles and hubby's work bottles. Have a quick shower.

9.00 pm : Watched Big Brother.

9.45 pm : Baby cries. Feed him, change nappy. Stare blankly at baby till he falls asleep. Put him
back into his cot wishing that I could go to bed too.

10.30 pm : Prepare night feeds, start steriliser, prepare hubby's smoothies for lunch tomorrow.

11.00 pm : Baby whines. Check and change nappy. Baby goes to sleep. I do too.

12.30 am : Baby cries, Get up, feed him, change nappy. 5 minutes later, change nappy again.

Begin an entire day again from there onwards.....This is what goes on in my everyday life....Interesting ??? I luv it :D

But weekends are different, so it's another different story. Will save it for another day, if I remember.
