done and done

Somedays I wake up and feed the babe and say "I'm not doing anything today." It's just me and the dvr and fresh baked blueberry muffins. Those are nice days. I usually don't get dressed or do my hair/makeup.  There's usually nice long naps for Sawyer and lots of down time for me. Maybe I'll wander into the kitchen and cook some dinner at some point. Maybe I won't. There's alot of smiling/laughing time for me with Sawyer. But at the end of the day, I feel like nothing on my to do list has been accomplished. 

And other days I wake up and feed the babe and say "I'm going to do x, y and z today." And I spend the day going 100 miles an hour, running errands or cleaning or cooking or crafting and trying to take care of the kid amidst all of this. Those are successful days. Successful in the sense that the things on the to-do list usually get checked off. But there's usually short, sporatic naps for Sawyer and no down time for me. I race to the fridge to throw dinner together at 5:30 as I'm trying to finish sweeping the floors or putting away groceries. There's alot of

 crying/fussing fits for Sawyer (and even me too sometimes).

It's like I can do all or nothing, literally. I'll figure out how to reprogram myself at some point I guess.  

Today was an x, y, z day and Sawyer has been unhappy ALL day. He woke up twice last night. He hasn't woken up in the night since about 6 weeks old so I was bewildered and staggering around in the dark trying to get him back to bed and thinking "who is this demon??" 

Hopefully the sweet sleeper returns tonight. I'm not sure if it's his shots affecting him or what.I guess babies have good days and bad days just like grown ups. He did have his first taste of sweet potatoes today and although he was fussing during some of lunch time, he ate it up!  

Oh and here's the new hair...
