Doing "Nothing"

A friend called this morning and asked what I was doing. I replied, "nothing."

Well, the Motherhood vernacular of that word doesn't exactly mean the same thing as the Singlehood vernacular. Here's what I really meant when I said "nothing:"

• Nursed and fed breakfast to Johnny
• Ate breakfast
• Played with him
• Changed him multiple times
• Put him down for a nap
• Showered AND did my hair
• Cleaned my room
• Wrote a talk for church
• Took out the trash
• Installed new Vista updates on my computer
• Called the Utilities companies
• Called the previous owners of my condo to set up a time to meet them
• Made plans to see a friend
• Fed Johnny a bottle
• Fed him lunch
• Started a load of laundry

This was all before 11:30 am. Now, before having a child, I might have been showered by this point in the day. My, how life changes -- and thank goodness, too. I never knew how much I could squeeze into one day.

I'm glad it's Saturday and I have "nothing" to do for the rest of the day. :)
