On a plain jane day

Most times, the blog is filled with pictures of our little adventures here and there. Here, I reveal the how a plain jane day goes. When I say that it's a plain jane day, it's a plain day, no big hoo ha, no big disasters (yet). In fact, I love such days, no frills, relaxing, fun (yes it is). On such days, my life is filled with pockets of slots. Nap time, play time, meal time. And in between will be slotted with cooking, laundry, cleaning up, shower, and on a good day, email, surfing the net and blog stalking. Every pocket of time needs to be very intentional, like once she's down for a nap, I zoom in and out of the bathroom, get some laundry/cooking done etc. Very boring cycle but when it's boring means it's routined and we both thrive on that.
So here's a little snippet, of a good day where I can still put in an entry, and with her smiling at the background taking her afternoon tea.
She's really into nodding her head and communicating with us now. Nodding when we ask her questions, pointing to what she wants. She's also grown overnight. She has been spatting out her mushy food and it's been so trying to feed her properly without having food everywhere but her mouth. Then all of the sudden bingo, she wanted normal textured food, like rice with soup and bits of food that she can feed herself with.
To break some myth here, SAHM is not boring, though there are heaps of time when the desperate need for some "me" time overtakes and you feel like walking out.
