10:00 a.m. — Around this time I work on getting Noah down for a nap. Sometimes it’s a little earlier, sometimes it’s a little later. Just depends on what time he woke up for the day and how he’s acting. The struggle of the work-at-home mom starts to feel super real when he won’t go down for his nap.
10:15 a.m. — Hot damn, why won’t he nap? If I were him I would totally nap. Oh man . . . his crib even looks comfortable to me at this point.
10:20 a.m. — I say a silent prayer to the nap gods that Noah will nap for at least an hour or more so I can go into crunch mode. I prepare a cup of coffee and sit down at my desk.
10:25 a.m. — Whenever Noah wakes up, I sit down at my desk (whether that’s on the floor, the couch, or actually at my desk) and work like a crazy person. This is total focus mode. No distractions. Get as much done as humanly possible during nap time. I silently think to myself- why did I ever take advantage of silence before? I think I could have had 7 jobs before I had a baby.
11:25 a.m. — My stomach starts growling, but there’s no time for lunch just yet. Snack on a granola bar. Obsessed with the ones from Oat Mama!
