Today has been insane. I got up at 6:30am this morning and this is the first chance I've had to sit down for more than ten seconds. Gabriel is sleeping and I'm getting a much needed break.

I actually got some sleep last night, only five hours, but compared to last week, that's pretty good. I'm tired, but functional and not exhausted.

Gabriel has been keeping me on my toes all day long. I constantly have to chase after him so that he doesn't get into things that he shouldn't be in. Every time I sit down, he does something he shouldn't. I even had to eat lunch while on the phone and then while chasing him around.

I'm making ham and wild rice soup in the crock pot for dinner. Gabriel tried to "help" me make it. While that's absolutely adorable, it also make the process take longer and there's a lot more clean up. Who knew that a ham cube could be used as a projectile weapon at the cat?

It's raining out and in the mid 50's. So, I have the heat off. But I couldn't open the window until Gabriel was asleep because he kept trying to eat things in between the balcony door and the screen. So, up until now I've been sweating my ass off. Now that the door is open, I'm actually cooling off.

Other than chasing Gabriel around, I've gotten two loads of laundry done and had to run downstairs to pick up some packages that were delivered. One of the packages contained a piggy bank that I ordered for Gabriel. It's really cute.

I know I should be napping while Gabriel is napping, but I thought I'd just relax and do a few things on here. Besides, I'm worried that if I nap now I won't be able to get to sleep tonight (or will have more sleeping problems than usual).

While I absolutely love spending this much time with Gabriel, I'm just not cut out to be a stay a home Mom. I want to get out of the house, have adult interaction, have a real lunch without having to chase someone around the entire time, etc. I really hope I get a job soon. I'm going bonkers around here.
