evenings when I finally get things done

I am a terrible procrastinator. Dishes and laundry are my two worst things to put off. Dishes, besides what needed to be done in order to eat haven't really been done for almost three weeks. Laundry was done less than a week ago, but we are getting ready to go camping and so I need to have it all done before tomorrow. Anyway, this evening I finally got busy and got dishes washed. However in the middle of getting things done Bub started crying and so I tried to get him distracted with a show, but it was not the show that he wanted so the crying did not stop. Finally I took my rubber gloves off and told him that I would hold him. He wasn't sure what exactly I wanted from him until I sat down and held my hands out for him to come sit on my lap. I didn't have to hold him for more than five minutes but those few moments that he sat on my lap was all he needed for the rest of the evenings. The dishes did get finished and the laundry got more than half finished and I had a happier baby. Sometimes we just need to step back and remember what is the most important thing in our lives.
