Day 1: Baby Time

Category: baby, Ponderings            Tuesday, May 29, 2007 at 10:55 am

So today begins my journey as a stay at home/working from home Mom.  How do I feel about this?  Good question.  I guess I will need to ask myself that question again and again as the days and weeks pass.  Today’s answer would be - I don’t know.  So far Addie has spent the morning sleeping and I’ve spent the morning doing chores.  This afternoon we are going to venture out to Target (woo-hoo) for a few more needed baby supplies.  This evening we may go watch Zipy play softball - if he plays.  In the future, in order to stay sane I think the following will be important:  1) talking to other adults during the day (how I will accomplish this I don’t know - I don’t really feel comfortable joining a mother’s group, but we’ll see);and 2) doing the “working from home” thing more than the “stay at home Mom” thing (my hours working for the lobster association are going to increase, but exactly what I’m donig and where is still in question).  I’m sure I will post on this issue in the future.

Well, as long as I have 48 hours notice or so, I can usually convince Matt to give me the car for the day and shuffle work around so I can go do something…. and you’re always welcome to come over here (a few minutes notice required because Matt seems to think a good place for socks and underwear is the living room floor :P).

I’ve found message boards help too… Not really a replacement for human interaction, but also not often as scary as mother’s groups where all they can seem to talk about is how wonderful their children are. (Not that I know this from experience, I’ve just heard a lot of people complain about that).

Thanks Nikki! A few visits seem like a great idea. To Zipy… someone has to make the money; we do have to cloth the child and feed the mom, sugar Daddy.
