How To Clean, Cook AND Take Care Of A Toddler
So that title is definitely NOT implying that I'm about to tell you an easy way to cook, clean, and take care of a toddler. More like releasing my frustration. Its been almost 2 years since I had my son and I STILL can not master cooking, cleaning and taking care of him all in one day. Its mostly just taking care of him and once the piles of clothes, clean and dirty, get ridiculous to climb over, then thats when I start to clean. I shouldn't call it cleaning, I should call it walking in circles honestly. I have a BAD habit of starting my cleaning in one room and as I'm cleaning I'll find something that belongs in another room, so I'll go take it to that room. Then see something that belongs in ANOTHER room, then go to that room start cleaning and then find something that belongs in yet ANOTHER ROOM, and the circle begins. Horrible right? But thats not it. We still have to cover cooking and toddler! With the cooking, I can throw down. I love to cook, and being Puerto Rican, no food is simple to make. Everything has tons of ingredients and seasonings. In other words, TIME CONSUMING! I am one who is old fashion. I love it when I cook and time it perfectly for when my hubby gets home and has a HOT plate on the table ready to sit down and eat. Before baby, that was every single day, now. . . hardly EVER! And now with a 22 mo old, all he wants is to be independent, in charge, and free. So now what? How can I manage cleaning (properly so that it actually looks and is clean), cooking great tasting food (not microwave) AND entertaining my 22 mo old? ALSO my biggest addiction, social media, and Netflix! Its like I'm glued, especially during Alexzio's nap time. Instead of cleaning and catching up or starting dinner, I plop on the couch and catch up on my stuff. I'm just tired of running after my toddler and he STILL doesn't sleep through the nights every night, (he gets night terrors some nights). I'm not going to lie its a big deal in my house hold, and seems like I just can't get it right.
