Last night I discovered something terrible….. I simply do not have enough time to do all the tings that I want to do! This will probably come as a surprise to most of you, but there simply don’t seem to be enough hours in the day!
I have a really good book I’m reading, blogs to read, blogs to write, emails to answer, Christmas cards to address, a Christmas letter to write, the newspaper to read & the daily Sudoku to finish (to maintain mental agility).
I think I would have time to do those things if it wasn’t for all the other things I have to do. Get kids up in the morning, prepare breakfast (pour milk on cereal), change numerous pants throughout the day, get lunch ready, figure out what to have & prepare dinner…….
So I’m having to choose! It’s awful! I made the decision awhile ago that I didn’t have to read the newspaper everyday, that was liberating. Then yesterday I decided that I didn’t have to do the Sudoku either b/c I was trying to get it done, but wishing I could be doing something else instead. I figured that was kinda silly.
I think the main issue is that I have limited time w/o kids around to get things done, & if they don’t sleep at the same time, everything gets a little crazy! I know, it’s just a season of life & it’ll be over before I know it, but I think that’ll be ok w/ me. I’ll be fine when the kids can entertain themselves a bit more (or even sit by themselves w/o needing to be held all the time). I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve made a latte in the last month & at lunch time discoved that I only had a few sips out of it. I just don’t have time to sit & drink it right now. Maybe I should buy a beer hat so I could drink it throughout the morning!
