Wanted: Mommysitter?

So being a stay-at-home mom has brought more challenges than I thought. In my naivety, I thought I could be the superwoman; take care of baby, stay on top of laundry, keep the house immaculately clean. Yeah, right. Now, I'm not the most organized person out there I'll admit but if I ever had a chance to be, it's gone now. Logan takes up a lot of time, most of it's fun stuff but I didn't realize how much would get layed to the wayside. Now, I suppose you could say, "well, you could take the time you're writing this blog to do some of that stuff." True enough, but she'll only nap for about 20 minutes and I need some form of free therapy.


What I really need is a nanny for me or a maid or maybe both. Maybe what I need is a mommysitter. They would take care of me, make sure I eat and do some light housework, too. Yes, I said make sure I eat because I can forget in the midst of making sure Logan eats. She wouldn't be here for only those reasons, she would provide adult conversation while my husband's at work. I love to babble with my baby but sometimes you need some consonants and actual sentences. She could watch the baby some while I do some other housework and she would definitely accompany me to the grocery store.


It sounds silly, right? I'm a stay-at-home mom and my only job is to take care of my baby and do the housework and I sound like I'm complaining. Waa waa waa. I'm not complaining but some days it would be nice to be able to start something without having 20 interuptions or walk into the next room to get something without some form of protest. But hey, that's what having a kid is about and I wouldn't trade it for a thing.
