7.2 minutes

in September 2013 Moms
You just put your LO down in your Snuggabunny swing and he/she is happy....FOR NOW. Based on your past experience and your mommy instincts, you know you have exactly 7.2 minutes to yourself before LO notices you're gone and demands your undivided attention again. How do spend your precious 7.2 minutes? Try to get a shower in? Poop? Raid the kitchen and stuff your face while you have the opportunity? GO!

    Depends on the time of day. Usually shower late afternoon, and cleaning in the morning. I know, boring... Why clean? Dirty houses make me twitchy.

    Do the dishes. Grab something to eat. Refill water bottle. Reheat coffee from this morning.

    Go outside and play with the dogs while texting everyine back. Come back in, go pee and start making something for me to eat while starting the bottle warming process. If I get 7.3 minutes I work in two handed chores and check my work email.

    Depends on when it is. If it's soon after we've woken up and I haven't eaten, grab some cereal. If it's after my cereal, clean. If I've already cleaned, eat more. If I think he'll be asleep for long enough, maybe shower. Then it's just trying to fit in some quality "relax on the couch" time. Priorities!

    I would probably let the dogs out, throw wood on the woodstove, pee/poop, wash bottles, grab a snack. I know that I would think I could shower in that time frame but would not fit it in so I'd wait til one of his long naps.

    I jump up, put a few dishes in the sink, go pee, and straighten up the mess on the coffee table. Then run downstairs and start some laundry and put some away. Any other time is spent gathering any entertainment or food items I want.

    Ideally I poop, refill my water jug, eat something quickly and wash dishes or throw a load of laundry in the washer. However, most of the time I get sucked into playing Candy Crush and by the time I realize my dumbass is wasting precious time, my little girl wakes up. I am such a damn nerd.

    Today I spent my 7.2 minutes eating ice cream. I've been trying to eat it since 5:00 last night so I was stoked to finally get the opportunity.

    Eat! I made a massive left over burrito from last night. DS didn't sleep at all yesterday or last night and finally fell asleep about an hour ago. I'm hoping this nap last awhile.

    Pee, eat, and stock up fur whatever I may need for the next couple hours.

    Pee, hydrate, pick up clutter (that's "cleaning" for me right now), and start whatever step of my laundry is next.

    Either shower and brush teeth or do dishes. Or fix some food. I pray to get at least 3 of these moments per day to get each of these things done though usually only get 2. So I rotate cleaning house and cleaning body every other day unless it's a miracle day.

    Pee, eat, refill water and one of: take dog outside/dishes/tidy/1-2 steps of laundry (collect, sort, load, switch, sort, fold, deliver, put away). I'd never divided laundry into so many steps (conceptually our in practice) before I now do, out of necessity.
