I have no idea how some people are able to do work from home or keep up the house and cook every single day with a baby alone ! Right now I am staying at my parent's house while I look for an apartment and someone is always around to entertain the baby while I do something, something as simple as eat or shower. However my family is vacationing so I am the baby's only form of entertainment and she is not fond of playing herself ( guess I spoiled her ) Everything was fine and dandy during the work day because we are usually alone and I have a plan of action for that time; morning nap I do dishes, wash bottles and pick up the house, afternoon nap that is when I shower. In the evening that's when the baby entertaining by others comes into play !
Today was a whole new ballgame well this evening was, while I was trying to make dinner she wanted me. I put her in her bounce chair and gave her some watermelon in her mesh bag thing which allows the baby to suck on a piece of food without chocking on it. After 15-20 minutes she was done and starting whining. The recipe I was making was by all means not complicated but it labor intensive, chopping, and stirring. ( I made enchiladas suisas from www.allrecipes.com ) By time I got it into the oven she was ticked !! After getting her taken care of and pulling the food out of the oven it was time to put her to sleep for the evening, meaning I would be eating a very cold dinner. Oh well it was still good. Guess I never realized how hard it is being alone without anyone to entertain Monkey Girl. We will figure it out.
