Now back to my question - What to do?
My youngest son still has a nap of a couple of hours during the middle of the day. This leaves me with a dilemma. Should I use this time to blitz the housework and do those things that you just can't do with 2 small boys running around, like wash the floors, or should I use this as 'me' time to sit and read a book, magazine or do something else I no longer get the time to do (Oh to watch a movie or sew!)?
I know I probably should use it as 'me' time but I can't relax knowing there are the other chores to do, so I think it will be housework time for a few weeks until I get on top of it and actually finish unpacking! Maybe I can start to get more housework done in the 2 hours between dropping one off at daycare and going to playgroup with the other, then I won't feel so bad about doing what I want to do.
If I can get the two littlies off for a sleep while Lachlan is in preschool, I tend to do half-half! An hour of cleaning, cooking (in peace!) and housework, and an hour of watching a taped show, exercise, magazine, reading whatever. Love it!!
ReplyDeleteDo something for yourself! What did you end up doing?
ReplyDeleteI used to have this same dilemma when my son was little and I wasn't working! A balance of rest and work is always a good thing.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend and thanks for stopping by my blog!
I agree, it's hard to find the perfect balance. I'm struggling with this myself.
