This working life

Being a full time mom is the most under appreciated job.  It is a real full time position, I mean 24-7 and if you are lucky (like me) who has a husband would pick up some of the works even when he himself has a 12-hour day job, then you are blessed.  

My typical day starts at 5 a.m. when baby e starts crying for food (also the diaper is wet, please change it right now).  I say 5 a.m. because my husband takes the last shift before 2 a.m. and baby e usually sleeps between 2 to 5 a.m.  After 1 hour of feeding and burping him, I have my breakfast and walk Tres, the dog (yes, what was I thinking to get a dog? but Tres is not so bad).  Then somehow, baby e only sleeps in one hour interval after day break and he wants to participate we adults' activities.  He wants to see everywhere and everything (oh, and sometimes, he does get hungry again and I have to feed him).  By 10 a.m.  I was already tired.  Finally, 2 days ago,  I introduced him the great invention, binkie, and I hope this works.  Baby e sucks the binkie so hard that I was afraid the nipple would fall off.  But then, the binkie does not stay in this mouth all the time, when it felt off, baby e will cry  (i.e. please put it back for me right now). 

So basically, my whole day involves changing diapers ( a lot of them ), feeding, burping, and entertaining him (if I have some spare time, I cook for my husband, shopping for food, surfing the internet for baby bargain).  I am not sure why I don't get paid monetarily.  But look at his chubby feet, he is so worthy (when I am in the good mood or he is really testing my patient).
