Motherhood Monotony?

So I will say right off the bat- I love my son so much. His adorable little face and smile and giggle can make my whole day better in about a second. And I love when I get to spend the day with him. So I don't mean for this to sound ungrateful or picky but I just want to get it off my chest. There are days (certainly not every day, but here and there) when it feels like all I do is go from making bottles to cleaning bottles to changing a diaper to folding laundry to shopping for more food to starting the list all over again. I really don't know how stay at home moms or single moms or anyone with a bunch of kids does it. I am in awe of those people and feel like they must have figured out a system that as of now I am completely unaware of.

And again, this is not every day, and it also reminds me that I need to get out- I think that sometimes I get lulled into thinking that a "day at home" sounds great and will be so easy, but then I feel like I waste hours of time just bouncing from one little chore to another because they catch my attention and I want to get them done rather than putting them off for later. And don't get me wrong, that is my problem and I know it! And I am not saying poor me by any stretch. We go out on adventures as a family and I get significant time to do things that I like to do, such as yoga. But it is more that I sometimes just want to take a step back and marvel at the day to day with a kid!

If anything, I wanted to write this to just remind myself to pay more attention to the positive than to the parts that can annoy me, and to remind myself that I would trade any amount of washing bottles or folding laundry for having the privilege of watching Owen grow and develop because it has been such an awesome, amazing thing to be a part of.
