It's Been A While

So, it's been a while since my last post, and yes I guess maybe blogging is proving to be a bigger commitment than I had assumed, but then again most of the things I take on seem to go the same way.  As I write this, I am sitting at the breakfast table amongst this mornings breakfast and some of last night's dishes (a fact very painful to admit) and I realize that today is going to be a long one.  My, now 8 month old is sleeping in his pack n play in the center of the living room while my daughter affixes various stickers to her appendages, I will no doubt be stepping on those later.  Stickers skieve me out to no end!  If I was to take this time while Gabe sleeps to clean the dishes now, the table would be clean in time for lunch, then I could clean the lunch dishes during his afternoon nap in time to make dinner, an endless cycle in which there is never any refuge from cleaning and cooking and washing laundry.  Its amazing that mothers are not simply dropping like flies everyday. Now, Gabe is awake, as a result of a ringing phone that was not answered quickly enough, standing up in the pack n play, staring at me as if to say, "Now what, Mommy? Shouldn't you be entertaining me?" This entry will be a short one.
Perhaps rambling is not the best way to re-start my blogging, but venting actually helps relieve a little stress.  With a to-do-list that will no doubt run into tomorrow, I probably should have chosen another day to blog, but then again some me time was definitly in order.  So to all the Mom's and anyone else for that matter, that never have a break, whose to-do-lists go on for days and weeks and more, this one's for you.  Take a break for a little even a few minutes, stay hydrated and remember to breathe or we will for sure be hearing of mommies dropping like flies on the evening news!
