Time to update the resume!

Since becoming a mom, I have taken multi-tasking to a whole new level.  As I'm sure many new moms can appreciate, you start to realize very quickly how truly valuable every moment can be. I'm not even talking about the beautiful moments when your baby is looking up at you, staring intensely into your eyes, making you smile from ear to ear and completely melting your heart  (even though you've only had a few hours of sleep and just moments before wanted to pass off the baby into the nearest victims arms and run for the hills).  No, I'm talking about those precious few moments when your baby is either asleep or content and playing happily by himself. In those invaluable times, you can finally get to go to the bathroom (I've considered adult diapers!), or maybe have enough time to make yourself a nice nutritious snack (read: grab anything edible in site and stuff it into your mouth...or better yet, stuff your face while you're peeing like a race horse!) See, this is the multi-tasking I'm talking about!  I knew I had talents before I became a mom, but nothing has tested my creativity and perseverance like the need for caffeine...juggling a nursing/sleeping son in one hand while trying to undue the lid off the instant coffee jar with the other, all the while kicking the ball for the dog, whom you feel sorry for because of the screaming child who has taken the place of 'top dog'.  There's got to be a way to build those talents into a resumé!  Ah yes, my ambidextrous and one-handed abilities can be added to the amazing child entertaining and newly found facial-contortionist qualities I never knew I had.
