*Momagement: management of motherhood, life, and sanity. *This is a personal diary on my daily struggles and amusements in parenting two babies with an 11 month age difference. Jordan, my son, was born April 2008. Emma, my daughter, was born April 2009. Life's greatest challenges are also its greatest blessings. Hope you enjoy!

Ugh
Sometimes I wake up and think about all of the things I have to do for the day. I usually make a to do list when I have a lot of things that need to get done. Sometimes I put really stupid things on my to do list just to feel like I did more than I actually did. I'll write things like "make the bed" and "brush my teeth", just so I can cross them off and feel productive. The problem is when I have one of those no-sleep nights with the babies and I wake up feeling like somebody sprinkled salt in my eye sockets and snuck Nyquil into my coffee. Then I start putting things on the to do list like "change Emma's diaper" and "eat". Today is one of those weeks. One of those weeks where I'm wearing clothes I dug out of the dirty laundry basket because I don't want to fold the laundry that has been sitting in the dryer for a week. And I certainly don't want to rewash the laundry that has been sitting in the washer for a week. I know it's just a button to press. I'm just not into pressing it today.
