On my own

Today David went back to work. That doesn't seem too significant in itself. But considering he has been home for a month with Rachel and I, it was quite significant. And I quickly realized that accomplishing one task in a day might be a real feat. I had been warned - pick one thing you will do for the day and be happy if you can do it. I thought, no, not me - I can have a task list I can check off easily each day. But today I managed to accomplish one thing - and it pretty much took the entire day to do it. When talking with David tonight when he got home, he asked how my day was. So I began to recite what I had done - but the list was not that long, although somehow it was already 8PM. I'm not sure where the day went or what I did, except change diapers, feed Rachel, hold Rachel, wash bottles and stuff and address our birth announcement envelopes. So I guess I will reset my goals each day until my maternity leave is over - plan to accomplish one task and be happy with that.
