Where does the day go?

AllieCat16 · December 2011

Why is it that it's 1130 and I am still in my ppajamas, haven't eaten breakfast or done one thing around my house. Every day I ask myself where the day goes. I just can't seem to get it together

Same here. IF I don't get up at 7 when husband leaves for work I'm useless. I need to plan out my day to have something to do. Even if it's something small

I agree with you! If I get the basics done -- shower, eating, dishes, dinner ready and baby taken care of -- I feel majorly successful!

Everyone tells me this is the time to be productive because I'm off from work and little one sleeps most of the day, but I can't seem to get it together. DH is starting to wonder what I do all day as well because once he gets home, I'm so excited because I "finally have time to get stuff done!" I'm looking forward for him to be at home all day with Phin so he can see just how little time there is left in the day!

I feel the same way! My husband comes home and asks what I did that day and I'm like 'hello! do you SEE that half load of dishes in the dishwasher?!'

LO is getting into more of a routine so I feel like I can plan a little better, which is the only way I am ever going to do anything other than sit on the couch, waiting for her to get hungry again or something. Each day I am trying to plan 1-2 things, even if they are small. Today it is walk up to the store, then go on a walk later with a friend. It gives me something to look forward to and to work towards in terms of getting myself and the baby ready for the day

I make a goal for myself everyday to get something done that I've been putting off. I usually don't get started on anything until 2p when DD#1 goes down for her nap. I've managed to get some closets and drawers cleaned out and a wall painted so far. This week it was cleaning bedding to get the nasty GI virus we all caught cleaned out of my house!

Don't get down on yourself, ENJOY it!!! I miss those days. I envy you!!!! You will never get these days back.

Same here. I work at home, I board hoses. DS gets in the moby by 8 am and we feed the horses and put them outside. Then I try to put him in the stroller to sleep and he does not, so we go back inside and I wait for him to go to sleep so I can go back out and work. He really sleeps very little during the day.

i was JUST thinking the same thing

That's me everyday. But I also usually go back to bed around 9 when LO falls asleep again and so I don't really start my day until noon. But even then I feel accomplished if I get to shower and wash that spoiled milk smell off of me... It's taken me almost a week just to decorate the christmas tree when it used to take me maybe an hour or two. I feel like all I do is sit on the couch with my boob out all day...

I feel the same way. Things have been so crazy and hubby is still home with me. I do not know how I will get by when he goes back to work.

Froggy76 · December 2011

We didn't even get up today until noon, and I still feel like this day has dragged on forever! I can't imagine trying to fill the day if we actually got up at a normal time.

Thanks for posting this! I feel the exact same way and was getting a little down about it. I know the days will become more manageable but it definitely feels like a whirlwind of eat, sleep, poop, cry right now. I try to prioritize what I'm going to do when I finally get a second to myself.

I feel the same way. Especially when I was breastfeeding, which is part of why I decided to switch to formula. Last night FI tried to give me a break to get some sleep but I cleaned the room (it pretty much looked like a bomb exploded since we got home from the hospital) instead because I just couldn't stand it. I actually think it made me feel better than sleeping lol.
