The LOOOOOONNGGGG and Short of It

It being Motherhood. Specifically, how the hours vary in perception in any given day.

Unsurprisingly, some hours zoom by - typically those when we are doing errands or rushing to get home to get the little bug in bed for a nap. But, other hours, oh my gosh, do they feel drawn out. How cliched that each minute feels like an eternity. But when an infants attention span is short and they have a preference to be held (incessantly), one looks desperately for things to do and a small apartment can hold only so diversions.

What are your longest hours with your children? Mine is from 4:30 to 6 pm? Once the clock rings six bells, this baby is bathed, changed, nursed and then nite, nite termite!
