Ever thought about making your own baby food?  Check out my post at Screaming Pennies today.  It has basic information, a step-by-step description of the process, pictures and recipes!

I think the thing I miss the most about life before kids is the ability to just do one thing at a time and finish it!!  That’s not to say I didn’t multi-task before I had kids, because I did.  But if I wanted to just sit down and do something and not hop up and do anything else until it was done – I could!  But not anymore…here’s what my afternoon today looked like!

Kids woke up from their naps while I was balancing the checkbook.  Got them up, changed their diapers and tried to finish the checkbook while they played in Kelvin’s room.

During the 5 minutes that it took me to finish, got up once to help search for a missing toy.

Took them downstairs and sat down with on the floor with the kids in their play area.  Noticed how messy Ava’s kitchen was, so I started organizing it a little.

Kelvin kept taking out everything I put away, so I left that half-done and started gathering library books to return.

Ran upstairs to get a library movie and was followed by Ava, who needed another diaper change.  Took care of that.

Forgot I was gathering up library stuff and got the mail instead.  Had one letter that needed immediate attention.

While the kids and I were by the computer taking care of that, I remembered that I needed to order more toner for the printer.

Went back downstairs and played dollhouse with Ava while simultaneously helping Kelvin with a shape sorter.

Remembered that I was supposed to be looking for a few more library books.

Moved the couch to look underneath it.  Found the library book and a whole bunch of toys.  Started putting the toys away.

One of the toys I found was a ball that went to the ball popper.  Tried to teach Kelvin how to press the button on the ball popper himself.

Moved the couch back and couldn’t find the book anymore.  Finally found it in the library bag (Ava must have put it in there for me).

And on and on it went!  I won’t bore you with any more, but seriously!!  Who needs diet pills when they’re doing this much running around all day long?  I was never this sidetracked until I had kids!  I wonder if I’ll even be capable of just doing one thing once they move out someday!!  Maybe I have Mommy ADD now…

Looking for the next installment in my Cloth Diapering 101 series?  Don’t worry, it’s not over!  It will be back next week with a post on cloth diapering accessories!
