MUST FIND MORE HOURS! Where do they go?I have way too much to do and not enough time to accomplish it all. I thrive with to do lists, but at this point, they are often paralyzing. In the end, I hope I can say I've done what matters most: love God and people. My family comes first and so it's good that I enjoy the precious moments I do get with them.
What was ignored:
* email inbox
* facebook "live feed" with 1000s of new updates
* piles of bills and paperwork to put away
* plants need to be watered
* trash needs to be emptied
* laundry to fold
* Christmas boxes to put away
none of which got done because I did the following instead:
* get ready for work
* send 2 year old back to bed, she's up too early!
* listen to her play in her bed while I continue to get ready
* go rescue crying baby and feed her
* help 2 year old go potty, get dressed, and fed
* somehow (Lindy) get myself read for work and out the door at 7:48
* work from 8-6 (earthquake included) thanks to my angel MIL
* feed baby again
* feed 2 year old
* have a few minutes of play time
* do bedime routine with 2 year old and finally say goodnight
* feed baby again and put her down for the night too
* breath...enjoy the quiet for a moment
I am so thankful for the sweet hugs and kisses and smiles I get from my girls - makes it all worth it somehow. Now, I must rest. My eyes, my back, my mind are all spent.
I can't even begin to go into all the to dos waiting for me at work. TOO MUCH! It will just have to wait for another day. Weariness has fully set in. I think I'm delirious!
(Maybe I'll just go water the plants now...and hope they survive being ignored for so long!)
