All right, let's see how this goes. This is my first shot at 'not me' Monday. Even though it might not get posted til late, or even until Tuesday, since the internet has been worse than sketchy around these parts today. I was all set to spend a little me time today catching up on some stuff online: email, facebook, bloggy stuff, Postsecret, practice medication administration problems for the test in the first week of the semester (hey I can be practical). So I handled it really well today when I sat down after the munchkin went down for his nap, all comfy on the couch, fired up my laptop and found….nothing. It was great. I did not get upset, and I certainly didn't swear like a sailor curse my bad luck (loudly) and try for the next hour to get the internet up and running.
After giving up on getting any kind of decent internet connection, I did not start editing some pictures and waste another hour or so doing not much of anything when I could have (should have) been using that time to get stuff done around the house. Like clean up breakfast, for instance, which was most certainly not chili cheese fries left over from last night. I would never eat that kind of junk, especially not for breakfast.
When Sir Crabby Pants the munchkin woke up from his nap he was riper than ripe, and dead set against having his diaper changed. I'm sure glad I didn't have to hold him down by pinning his arms with my legs. I never have to do that. He always just lies there calmly while I change his diaper. In fact, some days I wonder if I'm the only one with a child so well behaved…
I made a lovely dinner tonight: boneless country style pork chops, skin-on garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli with cheese sauce, and homemade beer bread. I did not even add sour cream to the gravy like the recipe called for and not tell Martin since I know he doesn't like sour cream (or so he says…)
That about sums up my day. My plan for the night is to clean up the house and get some laundry done. I'm definitely not going to waste any time online when I could be doing something productive. Ha!

I snorted out loud at the chili cheese fries for breakfast. Yum! :)
And I've been known to not swear like a sailor when my internet connection has been uncooperative, too. I'm sure you handled it very gracefully. ;)
I like the description under your title (frequently interrupted, etc). Very cute. And I just "got" the title - since the best time to work on your blog is while the kiddo is napping. Nice. Clever.
I'm sure you needed me to tell you that. ;)
Keep it up, and have fun doing it! :)
