Mom, What Do you Do?
“Mom, what do you do?”
"Well, I…" I stop for a moment to think about it. In a day I:
- Wake up
- Work out (sometimes. Ok, not as often as I should...)
- Prep articles
- Pay bills
- Prep lunches
- Make breakfast
- Do laundry
- Clean the counter
- Get the them up
- Make sure they’re fed, cleaned, clothed and brushed
- Clean the counter
- Do the school run
- Write articles
- Volunteer at school
- Clean the counter
- Do a photoshoot
- Or a media launch
- Or both
- Prep an after school snack
- Occasionally let Starbucks prep the after school snack
- Clean the counter, even at Starbucks
- Pick up the kids
- Deliver snack and start the afterschool activities chauffeur juggling routine
- Realise I didn’t plug in the slow cooker and prep dinner as the bairn chill out
- Clean the counter
- Have “quiet time” as they do their home work and I start processing images, write another article or, if I’m lucky, read a book
- If I don’t have a night shoot, book club or a dinner party, I’ll start the bedtime routine. Sometimes it’s a basketball shoot-out, a walk to the park, or just to the tub.
- Then it’s pjs, tooth brushing, a last counter wipe before settling in for story time and finally tucking them into bed.
