Bucking the System

A recent 24-hour period from a day in the life of Zivot Muj:

9:00 pm
Finally got home from 4 hours of shopping, where I fed the wee one dinner while in the shopping cart at Home Depot.

9:45 pm
Put the wee one to bed.

10:00 pm
Went to bed without tidying up the house.

10:30 pm
Intended to fall asleep.

10:30 pm - 1:00 am
Browsed Ann Taylor and LOFT and read about too much sadness in the world until my stomach was sick and my head was spinning like a coral peplum dress.

9:00 am
The wee one awoke and so I decided to finally get out of bed, after hitting snooze for a solid hour.

9:30 am - 6:30 pm
Didn't shower.

Didn't even get dressed until 4:30 pm, so that I could get the mail in decency. . . which I didn't do.

Decided to spontaneously re-arrange my living room and spent the entire day doing it, absconding all other non-parental duties.

Realized that I had been subsisting on pretzels covered in melted cheese and apples for 48 hours.

6:30 pm
Fed the wee one, who subsequently threw everything I gave him on the floor. And then cried because he was hungry. He finally settled on one (1) applesauce pouch and a bowl of yogurt, which he eventually drooled out the corner of his mouth on purpose. And then cried because I wouldn't let him do that.

Finally gave in and let him out of his high chair, suppressing fears of malnutrition.

7:30 pm
Decided I should probably feed myself, as my head was pounding and I was cranky for lack of sleep and proper nutrition. 

7:45 pm
Started the bedtime routine.

Ended up re-arranging the wee-one's room.

8:45 pm 
Finally got the wee one in bed.

9:00 pm
In bed, house still not very tidy.

A 100% chance of staying up until 1:00 am.

The Mr. may or may not have been out of town.

Obviously.
