A bit of quiet- what to do?


Ok, Chloe is asleep and I'm in a predicament.

There is loads of housework to do- washing, vacuuming, washing up, tidying, etc etc which I could get done while she is asleep, or I could just rest and take it easy for a while. If I rest I will feel guilty for not doing the housework but if I do the house work I will be even more knackered!!

Whats a mum to do!!

Sleep


You can actually sometimes do limited housework while she's awake, but you can NEVER sleep while she's awake.

Did I mention sleep?

Just relax and enjoy the quiet time. I usually do little odds and ends around the house when Keira is sleeping, but save the major stuff when my OH is home so he can tend to her. Once I get in the groove to clean, I cant break my concentration...
