routine, what routine?

Every time I think I've figured out a routine with Acorn, something throws it off. Life with her is all about constant improvisation. Some days, it is our fault(we put her to bed later, or are out during her main naptime)... and some days it can be something as simple as the fact that she hasn't had her morning poo, and needs to. There are many days that I am grateful that I am able to have so much time at home with this girl, and then there are days I am like "Find some full-time work, woman!" because I want to have more intriguing things happen in my day then waiting for a baby to poop.

But, when I look for full-time work (outside of my field, as ft jobs in my field only go to people with a book or two or a phd) the idea of spending 40+ hours a week doing something I am not excited about, and being away from Ms. Acorn, seems not worth it.

In the publishing front, I've been sending stuff out again, and am about to send my book out some more. One of my poems will be published this summer, in an online journal. It is a poem I wrote while p.regnant, about pre.gnancy and a visit to a museum.

So, to get back to the idea of routine. Acorn started taking 1.5 hour long naps last week!(which is a miracle in itself, after months of 30-45 minutes)... Usually from 1030-12, or 11-1230, etc. But, today's was all messed up and she has finally just gone down, now, at 230. Here's hoping I don't have a waker in another 10 minutes(which is what happened at 11, today)...
Here is her royal adorableness having her first taste of (from our garden)peas.
