A lot of people ask me what I do during the day as a stay at home mom.
For starters, I appreciate you asking me and not my husband, because according to him I'm relaxing.. :)
Which is funny because this morning at 530 a.m., I spent a good 30 minutes washing a Baby from an unpleasant diaper change, all the while Mr. Know It All is snuggled up cozy in a warm bed snoozing away...
And I don't know if you heard that first part..
530 a.m.
For a while Baby Boo woke up a little after seven, but then decided that there just needed to be more time in the day to play, so recently it's been 530.
I guess 530 wouldn't be so bad, if I went to bed at a decent time and didn't stay up to watch Monday's episode of the bachelorette. (Any one else find the cellular phone salesman a little QT) Don't worry, my husband doesn't mind, he's sleeping.
It's been somewhat of a struggle for me to switch from Ari mode to Mom mode, and things that amuse me, really don't amuse Baby Boo. (She's not all that into Cell Phone Guy..)
But somehow we manage, and some days I look at the clock and say, it's ONLY 11! And other days Hubby comes home and I'm still in my PJ's, Baby Boo is nakie, and I am far from what you would call Pleasant smelling.
On the other hand, this little one masked any smell that may have come her way with a sweet scent of cinnamon.
The Cinnamon Challenge was so 6 months ago for Baby Boo.
She clearly finds joy eating it straight out of the Bottle.
Don't even try and take it away from her.
You will pay the price.
Roughly 5 bucks, because that's how much it's gonna cost to buy more cinnamon once it's spilled all over the floor in a tantrum rage to retrieve it back.
Luckily for me I had used the cinnamon for my breakfast prior to the Ms. Cinnabuns craving.
