managing time/時間の使い方

We had several guests over last weekend, and we had lots of fun introducing Pineapple to them and having good conversation. Pineapple did well sleeping, smiling(?), and only fussed a little.

Yesterday, however, she was having a hard day. She was fussing almost all day. She seemed to be tired, but she slept for a short time here and there. She was hungry, but she fell asleep while nursing. Then, she was hungry again very soon. She also had dirty diapers so many times. She took a few hours nap in the late afternoon, and that's when I decided that I would also need a nap!! After the nap, same things happened again and again. By the time she finally calmed down it was about 1:00 a.m.

I managed to do two loads of laundry and cook meals, but that was about it. There were lots more things I wanted to do, like updating my blog. However, it's not easy when things are not going the way I want. Well, I have to be careful about how I use my time over all.

Today, she's been calm and had a good morning nap so far. I hope we can get out for a little bit later this afternoon for a walk and get some grocery shopping done.

今週末もまたお客さんを呼んで、パイナップルを紹介したり楽しい会話をしたりといい時間を過ごしました。パイナップルも良く寝て、良く笑い（？）、少しぐずった程度でした。

しかし、昨日は大変な一日でした。一日中ぐずぐずしていた様なものだったのです。疲れているのに、ちょこちょこと短時間しか寝れない。お腹はすいているのに、授乳中に寝てしまう。そしてまたすぐにお腹が空きだす。おむつも何度も変えました。夕方ようやく数時間寝てくれたので、私も昼寝をしておかなきゃ！と思ったほどでした。そして、また同じ様な事を何度も何度も繰り返しました。夜中の１時になって、やっと落ち着いてくれたのです。

その間私は洗濯を2回と料理をしたくらいで、他に大した事は何も出来ませんでした。ブログの更新など、他にもやりたい事はたくさんありました。が、思い通りに事が進まない時はなかなか難しいです。全体的に時間の使い方を上手くしなくちゃいけないんですけどね。

今日は今の所パイナップルもご機嫌で、午前の睡眠も取りました。夕方に少し外に出て、散歩や買い物が出来たらいいなと思っています。
