The day so far

I had been a stay at home sloth long enough. Today was a new day. I woke up at 5:30 to pump. Got 3 ounces instead of the usual 2.5. The day is starting to look good. Briefly thought about doing laundry and dishes and some sundry tasks and staying awake till 8:15 when it would be time to pump again. But then I need my rest if there has to be milk. I keep the alarm for 8:15 and go to sleep. Slept through the alarm. Finally wake up at 10 am refreshed. Justify to myself that I needed that after a bear of a weekend. Still a new day, new beginning. Decide that I will get laundry done today. But first, I need to pump. It is already later than it should be. By then it is 11. Mom insists I should eat a piece of bread at least. I comply. It is 11:15 now and I go to my room so I could gather the clothes. Oh wait, the tub is full of washed baby clothes from 5 days ago which I never put away. I empty them onto the bed. Decide I would fold this and the new load together. About to put the dirty clothes in the tub when I realized that the dried laundry from yesterday was still sitting in the dryer.

Went to the bathroom linen closet to put a towel away. Realized I haven't brushed my teeth today and it is already 11:30. While brushing, also realized that I haven't showered yesterday and day before. (In my defense, hubby was sick with the flu and Mummy was out of town and baby was clingy, so I have had barely time to go, let alone shower.) Figured today might be a good time for a hot shower and hopped in. The shower felt great and I realized I had planned to put the laundry in before showering.

Dressed and came down and took the empty tub with me to collect and put away the clothes sitting in the dryer. I was passing the kitchen when Mom reminded that I have to put rice for lunch. I put the tub down, collected laundry and since it was 12:15 by then, decided to put rice and fry some fish. Looked for a utensil to put rice in. Everything was either in the sink or in the dishwasher. Figured I might as well empty the dishwasher. Put rice. Kept pan with oil for frying the fish. Since sink was full and the dishes unloaded, decided to load it up. Started loading the dishwasher. Baby started crying. Made some formula for him. There was enough of baby's stuff to sterilize. Put all that and started that. Oil got too hot, started frying fish. Came and checked email, facebook. Almost given up on blog reading except for a few friends' blogs.

Had lunch. Time to pump again. Only 1.5 oz this time. In between all this, there were diaper changes, walking around with baby to put him to sleep. It became 2'o clock. Started feeling sleepy already. Thought I should blog since I haven't blogged for the longest time. It is 2:40 now and I wanted to tell you about my birthday gift and share pictures (birthday was 3 weeks ago). I would do all that except...

I still haven't done laundry.
