Today was quite the juggling act. I had to take care of baby, conduct 2 phone meetings, see the chiropractor, make a sales call, and then make it back in time to feed baby at 430....and then cook a meal for us. It all worked out, but it was pretty mentally draining to switch from role to role in what was sometimes a matter of minutes. Somewhat jarring for the brain to switch gears so rapidly.
At times I felt like I was a superhero, changing costumes (switching from pjs to work gear and vice versa) for the needed task at hand. Except I didn't feel very powerful, just very sleepy.
Somehow I managed to stop in the midst of all that and take a phone call from another "co-worker" (mommy) who needed to vent about the hard night she had with her infant. In the past, I might have ignored the call or taken it at a time that would have worked better for me. But somehow I managed to have a slight bit of perspective that it was important to listen to what she had to say and offer the feeble advice that I have at this stage.
I am again thankful for the balance that Baby P seems to be bringing to my life. I definitely was not expecting that....as for the dueling roles I have going on all day--I know everyday won't be as hectic as this one was...at least for now.
