Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better

Okay, well maybe not always better, but I can do it one handed with a baby on my hip.

The other morning, I was getting really frustrated because I couldn't put my contacts in while holding Pumpkin. I realized this frustration stemmed from the fact that I have learned to do so many things one-handed since having children. It really is a talent most mother's have to develop to survive. To celebrate this talent that will never be seen in the Olympics or on American Mother Idol, I started a list of my biggest "one-handed" accomplishments (I am still perfecting the putting in of the contacts).

Here it is so far:
-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner (I can even chop thanks to my Pampered Chef Chopper--no little fingers can get in the way).
-decorate for the ward Christmas party (I wasn't in charge, but I did have to set up a number of little nativity sets).
-teach a YW lesson (the challenge was actually keeping the girls attention on me instead of the smiley, goofy, drooly baby).
-type on the computer (still working on all the typos).
-pick up dog poop (without getting any on my hands or on the baby).
-clean the ward chapel (and my house).
-make a bottle of formula... in a Dr. Brown's bottle (far more complicated).
-pee in a public toliet (harder in jeans but no prob in my velour sweat pants).


Seriously, I got skills and I know you do too. Let's hear it.
