Is anyone still on mat leave - anyone work part time

anyone still on mat leave or anyone work part time?

 what do you do with little one when you are not working part time during the day? 

Where do you go in addition to running errands

I am until October. We go to a mommy and baby group on Mondays, stroller fit classes Tuesday and Thursdays. Sometimes we meet friends for coffee or check out one of the free library kids programs.

I work part time but just weekends so DH is home with LO when I am not. He works Mon-Fri so I'm home with her then. I don't really go and do errands. DH just does them on his way home or I do them on the weekends after work. Tomorrow we are all going to do a family grocery shopping trip since we haven't gone in over a month.

When I'm not working, I'm trying to get some sort of schedule for LO. Nothing too strict. Just working on doing the EASY method and getting her to fall asleep not on the boob. So we get up, eat, play and then I spent forever trying to get her to sleep. Sometimes we eat, play, refuse to sleep long enough that we eat again and keep trying. She's not much for napping.

For playtime we do tummy time, back time including some sit ups, sometimes I have her sit between my legs and I hold her arms to keep her from toppling. We do time in the bumbo and time in her high chair while I do dishes or chores.

I work part time technically (3 days a week) but I am so busy those days that I cannot get it all done so on my 2 days off, I try to finish while juggling the LO.  If I can convince my mother to come over and watch him those days for a bit, I can get my work done a lot faster and have time to do some other things, ie laundry.

I am on mat leave until Sept.

Currently, G and I haven't signed up for any play groups and the like yet. Visitors just stopped coming this week so it's nice to have quiet time! There's also not a lot to do in my community of 2500 people.:)

i joined a mommy group when i was pregnant but went to one event recently. i joined a neighborhood moms group but they do stuff on the weekends.

So i am seeking a balance to do stuff with little one

We go to play groups twice a week.  Once it's nicer out we'll be able to enjoy more outdoorsy stuff.

My phone cuts this off at the m and for some reason I thought you were going to be asking if any of us are still on MySpace.

This totally cracked me up!

I am on family leave until February 19th, then I will go back to work full time (40 hours a week)

DS and I do tummy time, he plays in the exersaucer and he naps a few times a day.  When he is sleeping I work on the kitchen (doing a kitchen remodel)

We stop at my parents house when we are bored, everyone I know works full time so we spend a lot of time at home, which I am okay with.  I am an introvert.  DH just went back to work on Monday so this was our first week alone since I had DS.
