It is amazing to me how resourceful I have become since becoming a mom. The amount of multi-tasking blows my mind sometimes. I call family and friends in the car on the way to and from the baby sitter's house. I run errands, play with the dog and pick up the house over my lunch hour. I make my to-do lists at work. I purchase most things over the internet to save a trip to the store. I go shopping for myself on business trips, because then I can actually try on clothes.
Last night my family and I went to Target. My darling son has started this phase (well at least I hope it is a phase) of screaming all the time. So, when I just couldn't handle the screaming anymore I went to the food aisle found some goldfish crackers ripped them open and started feeding him. It helped with the screaming. Of course we paid for the crackers, but until now I would not have dreamed of doing such a thing. But, motherhood will do that to you, send you to desperate measures that I refer to now as "resourcefulness."
