171 sometimes

Skirt: Gap, Belt: JCrew, Top: Gap, Scarf: Zara, Hat: Urban Outfitters, Watch: Gift

You know how sometimes your husband comes home from work and your baby is crying and dinner is slowly drying itself to jerky on the stove because you started it too early? And then you sit down to eat that gloriously dry dinner and discover your vegetables strongly resemble something that's crawled up from the salty dead sea and died on your plate? {Because hey, why use less salt when you can use MORE?!} And then after dinner, your glaringly bright computer screen has your name written all over it, right along with other fun words like "deadline"and "do this right now or I'm coming over there to kick your bum" {emails to yourself are normal}. So you settle in to work right? And your husband goes upstairs to change the baby while you secretly laugh to yourself because the baby saved that particular gem of a diaper just for him.
And then some time goes by and your husband is sitting on the couch with your baby, who's now dressed in clean pajamas and smells like bath soap and apricots, when suddenly you realize that you haven't even given that man a kiss yet. Not even a little "how was your day" peck, because well dang ... you were too busy serving up a masterful dinner of jerky and dead vegetables while your mommy brain was on repeat, "Baby is crying. Can't think. Must calm baby." So you drop that computer mouse like a hot potato and you go over there and blah blah blah mushy stuff. And the work continues to pile up, and cold cereal is supplemented and sleep evades you as always. But hey. There was still like 10 seconds of mushy.
