Ive recently learned about the rule of 3. Concept being that motherhood is full time. Period. Whether you breast/formula feed, co-sleep or cry it out, baby wear or push a stroller, work inside or outside of the home, feed your kid plain ol goldfish or the organic bunnies...its full time. Its biological, amazing, crazy pants and constantly changing. But the rule says women get to choose 3 things in addition to being a mom. Showers, jobs, running, etc. I did not follow this rule. I kept three jobs, brought back running on a semi-regular/partially successful basis, try to shower semi regularly, keep up with my husband and family...but I went beyond 3 and its hard. I often do not win. (But I made the right decisions for now for us...even though I had to give up singing and some pretty fab career opportunities along the way :(. Today, my daughter is a teething machine. My house is drowning in the 150 workbooks Im trying to grade. Zaiya is sleeping on a dog bed. My house is a wreck. I give up - just for today. My three things today are my sanity, Zaiyas happiness and a shower so I can attend my husbands concert tonight (even though some tv was involved to make that happen). Not a win today, but were heading to the mall. And Ill grade during nap time. It is what it is. And Zaiya just gave me a hug. So....:)
