The Things I Miss...

Let me first start out by saying that I LOVE staying home and taking care of Elise. The things I don't have time to do now are not near as important as taking care of her. With that being said, I knew that staying at home meant we wouldn't be able to go out to eat, go on trips, and I couldn't get anymore pedicures - like we have been able to do in the past.

But the things I have really missed lately are having the time to just shave my legs or be able to take a shower without having to be a one-woman act to keep Elise from fussing. She will fuss when she can't see me, so I set her in her chair in the bathroom while I shower. She's happy for a minute. It lasts about 3 minutes before she starts fussing again. While my legs are starting to rival those of a woolly mammoth, it can be quite comical to see me flinging back the shower curtain every five minutes covered in soap or shampoo talking or singing to Elise. I don't think ever in my life have I taken such fast showers, and I really wish I could enjoy a hot 20 minute shower again.

I never thought I'd want to fold clothes, but stuff in my dryer gets set on the 15 minute wrinkle release about 9 times before it ever gets folded. Just can't ever get a head. Maybe when Elise gets on some kind of schedule I can get caught up.
