Last week seemed like an extended week like there was an extra day or super long days. I am suffering from lack of personal time, lack of sleep, and lack of showers. One positive side to things since I am suffering from a lack of showers it has produced healthy hair. On a different thought, my bank account is shrinking, and my OCD behavior is out of control. I cleaned the bathroom, kitchen, organized EVERYTHING from diaper bags to knitting items to my over abundance of scrap booking items, and I even did my homework. Some call it 'NESTING' I call it INSANE.
My parents bought new cars so the dealership thanked me by giving me a cargo net for my trunk, and filled up my tank of gas. That helps in times of need like this MONTH.
I realized how these baby necessities can become expensive. She went through 10 diapers yesterday and countless number of baby wipes. I also found a use for the chemical infested wipes I stupidly bought that I do not want to use on baby's skin, the bathroom counter tops, my car, and my shoes.
My freaked out moment... having a small child to transport around when you go to the store causes you to do things you NEVER thought you might do. For example, I WORE flip flops. I immediately regretted my decision when I returned home to see the black hole had eaten my feet. As if I was scrubbing the bottom of my feet with black tar or as if I had been homeless without shoes for years. How is it possible to wear shoes yet your feet are BLACK after leaving the house? I KNEW there was a reason I hate flip flops! Of course when I was in a hurry walking out of the door I was thankful to have shoes that did not require a lot of extra attention... NOT happening again. (NOTE TO SELF)
So I bought seeds. I want to make an herb garden and decided to buy seeds. Of course I was the DUH girl that left her purchased items at the check out. Who does that!?! I suppose people who don't sleep much or are new moms. At least I remembered the baby, things could be worse... at least this time I remembered my wallet.
Not that baby is keeping me up, she slept through the NIGHT. I am learning a morning nap makes for a good night otherwise she is cranky and that is not fun. Unfortunately, I am not so calm. As soon as she sleeps I am cleaning everything we touched or will touch from the laundry to the floors to the many diapers and wipes used. She is growing and with that comes more diapers. Cover your eyes if you are squeamish.... 4 outfits yesterday destroyed from overflowing waste. It is not only coming out of the sides, but up the top like a waterfall exploding. You can literally see her diaper overflowing as it stains the outfit she wears. A soupy mess is not the best thing for an OCD person. I dislike loud noise, the center of attention, and anything that leaks... hence why motherhood frightened me.... I am adapting quite well I would say considering the amount of diapers I go through.
I have never been a 'go-getter' business type person. Money does not motivate me, at least it never has before, probably because I never had to worry about it. Now I have to buy things, an abundance of things that are not cheap. So my newest idea... It is interesting to me the things that will never end... single mothers, divorce, and then there will always be weddings... and people will always have babies... if you want to make money an item that is needed regardless of hard times find something to do with these two events and you are GENIUS!
