DAD has enjoyed a sustained 90 minutes of uninterrupted free
time. Mom has ventured out on her own to return stuff we don’t need and get
stuff that we do. There are no crying babies, no dirty diapers, no mixing
formula, no washing bottles, no feeding the Fussy One or the Other One. Nothing
but peace, and time to catch up on all of those others chores that need doin’.
Unfortunately his brain cannot recall all that needs doin’.
Where’s that to do list? Ah yes, here it is. Umm, hmm. That one
can wait, the other doesn’t need to be done today, and the third won’t get
done. (Continuing) That’s not important, that can’t be done while Mom is away. That
item was done (sort of), that one- well we’ll see, and that last one missed its
deadline.
So what to do at 2:30 in the afternoon with nothing else to
do knowing full well that in fifteen to twenty minutes time Dad is going to get real busy with another feed change cycle?
Power nap. Zzzzzzz.
