Weekend Mommy- Coping without the Nanny

It happened today. I   out loud. "What does H do with you during the week around this time?" I'm not really sure. "Babe, we should really find out what he does during the day." It's funny and then again, perhaps it isn't, but it's my truest and most authentic thought of the day. Like many working women, I only have to attend to my four- month old son just a few hours a day and on the weekends. I wish I had more time, but I'm actually a better mom because I work. I can recall in great detail the right location for all of all of my shoes and accompanying manolo shoe bags.

But, I could really use some guidance. I've asked the nanny to give me a schedule of his daily activities for this reason. I even created a spreadsheet for easy documentation. Patting myself on the back for being prudent enough to think of this.  Seriously, wtf am I suppose to do?! I can build frameworks, strategies and marketing plans in my sleep, but this is a task for the women of valor; the Renaissance woman, the modern woman. Whatever, just give me the answer and the freaking playbook so I can make my little bundle of joy, who absolutely takes my breath away, happy already.

Saturday's are always interesting, but my royal baby read my thoughts and in the blink of an eye started crying and air sucking.  OMG, he's hungry and sleepy. He's supposed to eat at this time. So I start creating my Saturday baby schedule because I will win at this too. At least today!

And so we start our journey to understand little T...
