knit1purr2Parenting is like being a computer.
When you are on, you are often doing many things at a time.
Sometimes the computer goes to sleep, but at any time something may make you jump right into actions. Like naptime or after bedtime. You can start doing something else, cleaning, hobbies but you know that you could be pulled away at any time.
Sometimes the computer is off and you don't have to even keep an ear out for the kid. This is when he is with someone else (Day Care, Grandparents). I should be able to do things fully with full attention. But there is going to be a point when the computer starts back up, either because it is the end of the day or because I have gotten a phone call and need to go get him.
Please note I really do like being a mom but it is really exhausting. Which is why I fell asleep before 9pm last night.
