I have been a mother for a year now. It's nothing like I expected. I do everything wrong. Or at least, not nearly as well as I expected.
Somewhere along the line... I lost my mommy-momentum. When my child was first born... I used to read everyday, do cloth diapers and breastfeed. I stopped reading months ago. And as much as cloth diapers made me love laundry, I've stopped that to. Breastfeeding? I only survived 7 months.
I need to step it up during year two. I need to go back to reading daily. (Maybe find a few spanish and german books.) Try to go back to cloth diapers (they are a lot less wasteful... and less expensive.) And, try to make all of my babyfood organic.
TWO.
I thought of going to an Apple Orchard as a first birthday celebration. I think that might have to wait until year two...
Even if I can't afford anything fancy, maybe I can do something... Something.
I don't think mothers can afford to be tired, or lazy. So, I need to get off my bum... and make the best of everything.
