Its been a long time sine I posted. We are all late on this part of the Haeley's link up but here goes.
So let me see. I don't know if I have any huge or embarrassing guilty pleasures. All I have to offer for this post is what I do to waste time. There have been so many times when Luisa wakes me up early and I am so tired. But, as soon as she heads to her room for her naps, I suddenly feel a burst of energy. Its perfect, I think to myself, now that she is asleep I can finally clean the house, do the laundry, organize school work, write that blog post I've been meaning to get to... but instead, I slump on to the couch to catch up on those shows that have been sitting on my DVR, or I spend too much time reading other blogs, or I look online at all the things I CAN'T afford to buy but that I all of a sudden really, really neeeeed. Like...
These....
And this dress,
These adorable shoes for Luisa,
Oh and while we are taking a trip Impossible-never-going-to-happen-ville, I would like this,
And a private jet to take me to this place whenever I need a relaxing vacay,
And then Luisa wakes up and I realize that I've wasted all of that time that could have been used so much more productively. I also realize suddenly how tired I am when she wakes up. So I guess my guilty pleasure is wasting time. Whats yours?
Lucie and I both fell victim to the cruel trap in parenthood that leads exhausted parents to, instead of enjoying the precious few hours of being awake sans critters, browse through pictures of the same children you just put to bed...
ReplyDeleteI do that, too! How is it that I spend ALL MY TIME with this child and yet I feel I must look at pictures of her when she is sleeping??
DeleteOh man I do the same thingI I often put Caleb down for a nap and then wonder what happened to the last 1.5 hours when he wakes up. Then I realize that I have spent the last 1.5 hours stalking someones blog or decorating an entire house I dont own in my mind based upon my Pinterest browsings. I then curse the internet, because it is obviously not my own weak willed fault :)
ReplyDeletePinterest is basically like chocolate. It's horrible for you and has little to no redeemable value, but it's addicting and it makes you feel good.
DeleteI use the excuse that Maddalena is a light sleeper and the only quiet activity that I can do is surf the internet. I refuse to sign up to pinterest only because I know it will be my downfall.
