Do you work well under pressure?
It’s 7am. Ale is awake and asking for Caillou and water. I’m looking at the clock and want more time in bed. Ale must be at the daycare at 8. The race begins. My heart is pounding. Getting ready in the morning under time restrains with a toddler is my high pressure moment and I don’t do well. At work as a nurse my patient can crash but this is when my “on”switch flips. I’m ready. I pull through calm and composed. In the morning on the way to daycare I’m riled up and sweating.
It’s the rush. Did Ale eat enough? Why did he not eat his Cheerios? Should I forgo a shower? Ale, hold on. Mama is washing her hair. Great, now you are soaked. What will I put on? Where is my coffee? Ale, let’s change your diaper and get dressed. No. No more Dora. Let’s wash your hands. Ale, come let’s put on your shoes. Where are Ale’s socks? Ok here is your coat. Where is your hat? What’s that smell? Ale, did you poop? Let’s change your diaper again. Quick, get in the stroller! Wait, I left my phone in the kitchen. Oh, there’s my coffee. Ok, stroller and out the door we go! No, I don’t have your firetruck. Here we are! Go play with your friends. See you later!
I need a nap.
I joined November Nablopomo but missed one day 😦 Goodluck! on both the morning rush and the blogging challenge! 🙂
Thanks! I,m up for a blogging challenge! It looks like fun. I think I first came across Nablopomo on your blog!
It is a great challenge and you will get to meet a lot of other bloggers along the way! Don’t forget to cross post on BlogHer because they feature posts daily and you could snag a spot 😉
Yay, at least something good came out from my Nablopomo!
Good luck, I tried this once and failed miserably…..maybe this will be my year????
Yes! Give it a try !!
I am trying to do NaBlo this month – November is too busy already, and the last time I did it I burned myself out!
I can’t imagine how hard it must be to be a Mom AND a Nurse – I think those are the two hardest jobs in the world! That is pretty awesome.
Thanks! I’m going to try. It’s only three days in and I’m already running out of steam!! We can do this!
