Don’t bother making plans

It always seems that whenever I have a plan on how to go about my day, EJ’s nap comes in and messes it up. Grr!! I think I have a good idea of his nap schedule, but the day that I make plans, he comes in with a plan of his own to mess up my plans!!
I’d plan to straighten up the house and vacuum the living room and bedrooms in the morning. Then when he goes down for his morning nap at 11:00 a.m., I’d sweep and mop the kitchen and bathroom floor. I’ll make lunch when he’s still sleeping, then it’ll be ready for him when he wakes up. After lunch, I’d plan to go to the store and pick up some things. Come home and then get ready to go to my workout class at 3:00 p.m. After class, we’d come home and he’ll go down for his afternoon nap, and I’ll shower and make dinner and be ready for Eric to come home! What a day! Great plan. Bleh… Didn’t get pass the vacuuming.
He doesn’t mind the vacuum. He doesn’t like it, but he doesn’t really mind it. He just shouts at it and runs far far away from it. The vacuuming part was easy. He got out of the way. But then, all my plans went to trash when he refused to sleep! I can’t sweep and mop the floor when he’s awake cos he likes running through the dirt. So, it would’ve been perfect if he were sleeping. I’d try putting him down twice, but nope. By that time, it was time for lunch. He usually has his lunch after his nap, but since we didn’t nap, we just had lunch. I’d thought he’d be sleepy after lunch like most people do. But no, he wasn’t. He rolled around in his bed, and played and played, and fussed, and played. Finally…. he just crashed. That was 2:30 p.m. Grr! Didn’t get to run errands and obviously not gonna make it to my class. Boo!!
My life revolves around his sleep schedule, even though it’s not really a sleep schedule. 🙁
Highlight of it all: Seeing him run from the vacuum and yelling at the vacuum like telling it to keep it down! Precious!

It is called ‘SACRIFICE’. No more to have your own plan, your favorite food, your favorite TV show.
