So…

the productivity thing is a bit swings and roundabouts at the moment. I was really goodon Wednesday, got loads done and was really proud of myself. Yesterday, I was pants and seemed to spend the majority of the day allowing myself to be distracted. Today, we went for lunch with some friends, as Marc was able to take the day off, and I too have to go back to working outside of the home on Monday, and that kind of put a spanner in the works. I did some chores and some smaller tasks on the computer, but a 3 hour break in the middle of the day meant that it hardly seemed worth starting anything beforehand, and by the time we got back, it was almost dark, and so I couldn’t really motivate myself to do any serious work then either. Oh well, it’s hard changing the habits of a lifetime I guess, I’ll just have to keep at it.

Lunch was really nice though – we met up with one of Marc’s colleagues and his wife, along with their 6 month old daughter. It’s hillarious to watch Marc trying to “learn” to parent in the same way he learns other things – through logical conclusions and accurate analysis. Everytime Mia whined, or cried, or did most anything at all, he wanted to know exactly why she was doing it, and what Jan and Claudia would do to remedy the situation. I half expected him to start taking notes! It was so cute!
