Apparently I am supposed to be able to
- keep a perfectly clean house
- sew a new handcrafted purse
- make dinner
- balance the bank account and pay the bills
- take care of a fussy baby
and this should all be done every single day! Oh and I am supposed to take care of said fussy baby the mama's way instead of the way I KNOW will work. Additionally I should not interrupt the mother of the baby while she is eating one of her 3 well-balanced meals or during her 1.5 hour showers. During all this I am supposed to drive the mother of the baby around while she fills out applications and interviews for a job. Also I think during the driving around is when I am supposed to eat that quick snack I was hoping to get instead of breakfast or lunch.
ARGHH!!! If I would have known all this I would have I would have given up before I even started!
Frustration is my middle name right now. I really do want to have the baby and her mom here and I do think little mama should get a job. But something is going to have to give. Hopefully I can express this a little bit better tonight at our family meeting that I am calling.
Errrrrrrrrg. Hugs.

You forgot the most important thing on your list... lunch (and perhaps some fabric shopping) with your crafty friend. When you get into a better groove we'll get you out of the house!

((HUGS!!)) She's lucky to have you help her with the baby. I would have given so much to have had help that I wouldn't have cared had I been interrupted during a meal or shower so long as I had another set of hands to help...especially by the time our third baby was born...LOL!!
