6:30 - 7:00 get coffee / find breakfast. could include scrambles tofu, pancakes and toast or, my favorite, plated guilt (go ahead, ask me what that is)
10 - 11:30 naptime. could take up to 3 times before he sleeps. my lulliby? boobs and their milk song.
after sleep takes him...if coffee is consumed i will be online mucking around. no coffee? cosleeping with the babe.
2-3 hours later emergance. i am a mother again. contemplate life / death. find lunch or tear my hair out trying. i might plate up some more guilt and feed him a white flour product, and, for kicks, some healthy things that never get eaten.
next...read books or i wash dishes or we go outside or to the supermarket or watch a video. giggling and love exchange / silliness. i love you, my babe!
after that...dad comes home or is on his way. i cook the dinner.
we eat it. sometimes sitting down.
i do the dishes, or don't.
6pm bathtime. more silliness.
7pm. try like hell to get him to sleep.
8:45 - 9pm he is asleep.

What's "plate guilt", Vervain?

Never stop questioning your existence. At least not until you feel like you finally exist.
