I decided to take care of myself. My parents, some of the very few who really know and understand our family issues, have been out of the country for 3 weeks. Our only other sitter has been off her feet with a broken ankle. I haven’t had a break. Even my back was starting to hurt again so shortly after being “healed”. So, a break I needed and a break I was going to get. In came one of our neighborhood sitters to be a mommy-helper.
As a mommy-helper, she basically plays with the kids while I’m around. Thus, she’s helping me get time to do my own things and my kids are being happily entertained. Works out for all! Only thing is, I didn’t do something for me. Nope. Instead, I found myself doing dishes, cleaning the kitchen and mopping the floor.
Mopping the floor! This was supposed to be me time and I’m swishing soap and water around with a less than worthy mop on my floors. This is for me how?
It must be the soap. My husband, being thoughtful about my relaxation needs, got me some scented dish soap. Yes, laugh if you must…scented dish soap to relax. Hmmm.
Now if I could just get that screaming bundle of joy to go to sleep…

Now that's multi-tasking. Now you need to work on getting a massage while doing the dishes. On the bright side, at least you could focus on the dishes and not have request-for interruptions.
Ha. If I could get a massage while doing the dishes, I would do them very, very slowly...and often!
Thanks for your comment!
