13 Things I Took For Granted
I missed last Thursday‘s Thirteen Things because I was in the hospital with my new baby, but I‘m back this week and looking forward to continuing to bring you great information on home business. In honor of my baby boy, I‘ve decided to write about the thirteen things I took for granted before having kids!
1. Having time to shower without waiting until my husband was home to look after the boys.
2. Cleaning a room and not finding everything pulled out and scattered around the room again five minutes later!
3. Being able to type with both hands. (Breastfeeding means I do a lot of one-handed typing these days).
4. The ability to run into town and pick up groceries at a moments notice, instead of taking three hours to get a toddler, a baby and me ready to go.
5. Deciding when to go to the bathroom.
6. Being able to eat junk food and drink sodas. Now my toddler insists on eating everything I do and I have to set a good example. Sigh.
7. Time to write. I feel like I wake up, feed kids, pick up toys, feed kids, pick up more toys, clean the house, wash clothes, feed kids, bathe kids and the day is over!
8. Sleeping through the night! It has now officially been a year and 5 months since I have slept through an entire night.
9. Being able to take medicine for headaches and colds without worrying about it passing through the breast milk.
10. Talking in a normal voice after 7 pm, or listening to music or watching TV at a decent level.
11. Being able to stay up past 8:30 pm without regretting it all day the next day!
12. Dinner out with my husband.
13. Doing what I think is right without having half a dozen in-laws tell me I‘m going to kill someone that way!
