When I first became a mom signed up for several websites that send you the weekly email about baby's growth and development. Which I love its great to be able to compare mile stones and see where Mini is versus the curve. Sometimes there are bonus articles and ideas that I can use too. However there is also the section of what you should do for mommy. I am a great big heap of I have not scheduled a lunch with friends (unless eating at desk at work counts), I have not booked a spa day (there are two boxes of hair dye in my bathroom that I have opened to read the instructions), and forget date night without baby. Would I like to do those things? Honestly yes but they just aren't priorities.
Every time I get the email I dread reading that section until I think of the positives. Mini has never been left with sitter so I could go grab lunch with friends and I have the friends that if Until than I may steal one of the hubs beanies. I have roots big deal and I need an eyebrow wax. I'm not at Bert and Ernie stage yet. Date nights well that would first require both the hubs and I to be off work at the same time. I think we have that scheduled for Halloween but even that priorities will not on us having a romantic interlude but the kids and chores that we need to do.
So yes my baby is 46 weeks old and I still haven't completed a single one of their recommendations for mommy. Do I look a bit hobo like yes...maybe. Am I writing a blog post while still in pjs ...indeed. Does that make a failure no it just means I have different priorities.
