\"adorable-21259_1920\"<\/a>We’ve had a baby in the house since Thursday when the Man of Steel and I swallowed our pride<\/a> and asked our kids for help. The presence of a baby changes a person’s priorities faster than almost anything else, making adults ignore things they once held dear. Here’s what’s being left by the wayside at our house this week.<\/p>\n

10. The dog.<\/em> Not ours. Our daughter and son-in-law’s. Poor thing’s had its nose out of joint since early April when Baby arrived and became the center of attention.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Feng shui.<\/em> Not that I believe in it, but if I did, the baby paraphernalia scattered throughout the house would destroy any semblance of personal harmony with the environment.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Housework.<\/em> Thank you, dear Baby, for liberating Grammy Jo from this one. At least for a week or two.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Normal routine.<\/em> Because the only predictable thing in a baby’s routine is lack of predictability, which has a domino effect on everyone and everything.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Regular mealtimes and table manners.<\/em> After all, Baby’s gonna eat when Baby’s gonna eat. And who cares about elbows on the table when an adorable six-month-old has squash puree dribbling down his sweet, little chin?<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Elaborate grooming rituals.<\/em> Forget about neatly coiffed hair, a manicure, or a pedi. Instead, consider a day with time to shower, brush teeth, and slap on deodorant to be a magnificent gift.<\/span><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Latest fashion trends.<\/em> With a baby on deck fashion trends are reduced to trading pajama pants for yoga pants every morning.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Adult conversation<\/em>. Who has time to talk politics and new movies between feedings, diaper changes, and playing Peek-a-Boo? All of which are far more fascinating than politics and movies anyway.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 Any task requiring more than 5 minutes and 1 hand.<\/em> No further explanation necessary.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Modesty.<\/em> Between a chubby baby butt and a nursing mother, everyone lets their guard down a bit. And that’s all I’m going to say about that.<\/p>\n
