Time.
I'm always curious how everyone spends their time. There are not enough hours in the day for me to accomplish everything that I need or want to do.
Between family time, reading time, writing time, school time, prayer time, lounging time, exercising time, quiet time, laundry time, cleaning time, loud time, playing time, sleep time, and fill-in-every-other-blank time.
Oh, and that little known thing as me time.
Even though there are not enough hours in the day, I don't think I would do better with more time. I need to prioritize and find that balance. But I need time to do that.
Time.

You are in the time crunch of your life. Someday there will be time and you will wish for days gone by. Time does fly by. BTW, I like your new picture.
ReplyDeletelove it.... this is fabulous and so true for so many of us right now!!! Thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteTime absolutely is a challenge. You're right about prioritizing, though. Somehow, it will all get done!

I am just one person & still run out of time. My daughter (who works full time like you) does not have twins, but a 4 & a 2 year old-I think I know how you feel. Hugs to finding at least a little bit of "me" time-even late or very early. Have a great start to the year!
ReplyDeleteThis is and has always been a problem for me. I wish I knew the answer - but I think you are on to something with your thinking about priorities. And yet you are right - that, too, takes time. Good luck - to both of us!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing myself the other day as summer vacation draws to a close. I like what you said about doing any better with MORE time...I just think we would do MORE. Prioritizing is key...now if I just had time to do that.

Honestly I don't believe we will ever figure this mystery out ;-)
ReplyDeleteTime is that illusive "thing" we all search for, even in retirement. I think I have "all the time in the world" to do something and then.... life happens. So take each day as it comes - some days there will be more time and everything will come together. Other days... well, just hang in there and do what you can in the time allowed. Just remember that you do need to find that "me" time! Hugs. Love ya, Mom
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. Still, I'd rather be in the position of not having enough time to do what I need to do, than having too much time and not knowing what to do with it. Know what I mean?!
ReplyDeleteLove the new pic, MIchelle! Time is one of those mysteries we never solve, I think. But the time right now is precious. You won't get it back, so err on the side of the girls and family! They'll be gone soon enough and then you'll have to figure out how to fill the time again....
ReplyDeleteI love the structure of your post. I have missed some weeks of slicing as we moved and I couldn't quite pull everything together and it was one of the pieces I didn't juggle in. It was a special treat to come back and read your slice. It reminded me of what I have been missing. I noticed you updated your picture too!
ReplyDeleteOh, how well I can relate to this. I thought I actually had a plan how to fit everything I need and wish to do into my days. As a plan it sounded so simple and reasonable. As soon as school started time took over my plans. Your slice added an idea to my future post list. Thank you.
