Sick leave is a waste on mommies

Went to the doc's in the morning and he told me a joke. "Here is a day's MC for you to rest at home," he said.

Rest? Sure.

I went home, took my meds, saw there were things to be washed in the sink, so I did.

Then out of the corner of my eye I saw the laundry basket overflowing with baby's dirty clothes and bed linen, so I put them in the washer.

Realised the boob that baby didn't take earlier was a little hard, so off I went to express. When I was done, I figured I should shower before going to bed.

Oops, baby woke just as I stepped out of the shower. Let me latch him on first. Ok, baby's fed and it was now time for my own lunch.

Lunch's done, but so was the laundry. Let me quickly put them out to dry.

Figured I should make a little sweet potato puree for baby to snack on before I go lie down.

Oh, time for baby's bath. Ok, let's get that out of the way first. Baby's smelling so fresh and looking so cute; we should play together a little before I go rest.

Gah, all that activity got me too sweaty to sleep. Another shower won't hurt.

Uh oh. 4pm already? Time for my daddy to get off babysitting duties and for me to take over.

Rest? Never mind la, I'll do that once baby goes to sleep proper for the night.
