But what I'm really lacking is time.

The girl is, as I type, napping in her crib in her own room.

This is a small miracle (as she normally won't go to sleep anywhere but our bed), and I'm taking advantage of it to make a blog entry. I should be doing something productive, like cleaning, or planning for my post-contract life (assuming I don't find another job before this one is up), or washing diapers, or, or, or...

Let's just say that there's a long list of things I need to do.

Nothing pressing, except perhaps cleaning (I have plenty of clean diapers, planning can be done later, and so on and so forth). But I feel vaguely guilty about sitting here, well, wasting this time where I'm not trapped in the bed with her, wishing I could get up and do something other than stand sentinel over a sleeping child.

I'm adjusting to being a mother of a toddler now. Sort of. It still feels weird to see a little girl where my baby should be. And, oy, the walking and running!

On the plus side, the Toddler Chasing Weight Loss Program really does work.
