Blissful silence

[judecorp]

So every so often, like right now, the baby is asleep and I get a few moments to do something with two hands. And after I eat something (which is always #1), I usually go down the list of things I should be doing:

washing diapers
doing laundry
cleaning house
writing thank you cards

and then decide to goof on the computer instead. So then I think that I should take some time to answer my e-mail and my back LJ comments. And I realize that I have 120+ LJ comments sitting in my inbox...

and suddenly laundry seems like the quicker, easier option.

Woah.

Comments

Back when I had the convenience of having a washing machine in my building, I'd usually try to multitask - start the laundry, do some reading while laundry is going, etc. I have a new theory - just take the time to breathe!

Now you sound like a mom! Forget about the LJ comments.

maybe 4-6 weeks ago i finally went through my email--i had about 1200 messages in my inbox that had been building up since quinn was born (4/06)....many of them were LJ comments that i wanted to reply to...but they just fell to the bottom of the pile. i kept saving them in my email as 'reminders,' and finally i decided that, um, i just probably wasn't going to write comments for things over a year old!

so i felt shitty, but they all got deleted. c'est la vie. so yeah, don't worry about responding to comments. at least not all of them, right? your f-list won't feel slighted. and if people do, well, i guess they haven't really been reading your LJ very closely.

yeah forget about LJ comments and just focus more on making a post. That's what I do when I have more things to do than free time.

OK, so I just saw the smashingly cute photo of August that Jen posted today, and I have to tell you, you can just tell that August has two mommies who are doing an amazing job. She looks filled with love and all good things! You gals rock!!! I promise it will get easier!
