Lately I’ve been thinking that I desperately need more hours in the day. Seriously a 27 hour day would be awesome. But I’m realizing that maybe it’s not that I need more time, it’s that I need to do less. (And then everyone yells at their monitor, “well duh!”)
I’m sure most people know this about me but me, I think I have a warped sense of the space-time continuum. I know with today’s current technology that you can’t drive from NYC to LA in 10 hours. But somehow it seems perfectly reasonable for me to expect myself to keep the house clean, cook, run the kids to activities, plan Girl Scout events, go to school & do school work, sew 15 items (when 10 is really my “good day” max), and then all the other random crap (make dentist appointments, pay the bills, grocery shopping) in 24 hours. Oh make that 18 because I’ve been getting a delightful 6 hours of sleep lately. Well maybe it’s 7 hours if you count when I fall asleep on the sofa watching TV at 11pm. And then repeat it all the next day.
It just seems possible to keep it up. I’m a little tired this morning though.
Stitches Midwest is a mere 10 days away now. I just need to keep all the balls in the air for a little less than 2 weeks… Then the “sewing 15 items” falls off the list for a month. Because the Christmas gift rush starts in late October.
Maybe I need to switch my major to physics. I’m sure I can tackle time travel logistics in the spare 6.2 minutes I have a day.
I always wonder how you do so much. I try to do so much less than you and I fail. But i don’t care, I have back up. I always feel for you, doing it all. Will the kids do chores for money? They need a good solid chore list for everyday. But then, all kids should have one, even mine.
