I’m laughing quite hysterically at the moment (well, in silence so as not to wake the baby!) because I started this post and promptly had to abandon it for mom duty.
But, while starting the post via smartphone, I was also pumping, also cooing at the baby in his swing, and also playing fetch with the dog (we have yet to establish a “no ball throwing” rule in our house).
There are many opinions on how attentive moms should be and what level of multitasking is appropriate. None of those opinions really interest me. If it has to be done, and I’m the one to do it, it may take some multitasking.
All that said, some of my better multitasking is snuggling with the baby while napping on the couch and dreaming about my checklists and calendars. 🙂
Look, it will happen easily at times, but sometimes it won’t be possible to multitask. I had to learn to own the moment and not get too frustrated that I couldn’t do everything right that second.
