I just don't know how they do it.

I always thought my life was a little hectic, but really, I just don't know how SAHM's manage. I was home with A today because of a "stomach bug" - he seemed fine to me, but daycare said that he had "watery stool" yesterday and thus he has to stay home for 24 hours until it is gone. Today there was no sign of this but he was fussy and gassy all day and only wanted me to hold him. I got absolutely nothing done in the house. No cleaning. No cooking. No laundry. Nothing at all. How do they do it?

I was a little stressed out because I had planned to be back at work today after a week's vacation. Naturally, things did not go as planned but I tried to make it work anyway. I called into a conference call and A wasn't interested in letting me do that. I tried giving him toys to distract. Nothing would work. I finally just put the phone on mute and participated as best I could. I'm pretty sure I heard about half of what I needed to hear. Oh well. There's always tomorrow - I'll be in the office and I'll catch up.

On another note, I decided I want to try and do the 365 project to document my progress with photography. Here's today's photo, taken in my backyard. Today there was a pre-season game at Gillette, so A was dressed for the occasion, even though Daddy went to the game and we stayed home.
