After getting home from work and going through the nighttime routine with Gabriel, you THEN begin cooking dinner (and take pictures along the way)?!?<BR/><BR/>That's it! If anyone complains about not having enough time to make their family a nutritious meal, I'm sending them to your blog. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418598785733957339.post-39454490585876782912008-08-03T18:40:00.000-07:002008-08-03T18:40:00.000-07:00I have been asking myself that lately...lol.I wake...I have been asking myself that lately...lol.<BR/><BR/>I wake up at 6 every morning, get him ready, drive him to daycare, drive well over an hour to work, get off, pick him up from daycare, get home at 6pm, feed him, play with him, bath him and put him to sleep. <BR/><BR/>Then I can breath for a second and I start making dinner for my husband, who get's home later, and I. <BR/><BR/>At last Gabriel (my son) gets another bottle and a diaper change at 10pm, and I go to bed. Next day is ground hog day!<BR/><BR/>The weekend is usually reserved for grocery shopping, baby food making and painting our new home. <BR/><BR/>Really, the hardest part for me is leaving him at daycare and not being able to stay home with him.Irinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05224603594983204394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418598785733957339.post-7044894688160178322008-08-02T21:37:00.000-07:002008-08-02T21:37:00.000-07:00How do you pull it off?
