Time Management

I don't know if I really need to say anything more. Today I think I chased the clock or my tail for most of the day-not succeeded at either end. I start the day thinking I have plenty time, seeing as we don't need to be out the door till around 10:45. But I found myself looking at the time just trying to find time to shower and dry my hair this morning. Who knew just answering the phone could take time. You would think I could quick mow the front lawn before 11, but once again it turned into a race and I found myself being the crazy women trying to mow as fast as possible without running-I quit half way. On to rushing the kids into swimsuits and now realizing I still have to nurse and we only have about 20min. Hurry, Hurry, Hurry-we make it out the door leaving a nice mess behind, once again not getting hair combed. Brayden's question is a common one these days, "how much time do we have mommy?" it was 7min this morning-time to hoof it up a HUGE hill with the stroller. Once again I feel like the crazy women trying to run while pushing way to much weight. Yes, there was a lot of yelling to go along with all the hurrying. A bright moment-WE WEREN'T LATE! On to Lunch, now it is a rush to see Ron and office and eat before James blows a gasket because he hasn't eaten since 10:30. Somehow we managed but all the while I am thinking about how soon can we get home. We make it home, about an hour later into nap than normal. Once again, rush, rush, rush,-throw on pull-ups littlerly push Becca up into her top bunk and throw Andrea into her bed and rush to feed a now screaming James. To top it all off five o'clock rolls around, the two little ones are still sleeping and the two older ones are still swimming out back-we are supposed to eat and be out the door to a b-ball game. So much for supper. After another rushed nursing session we are out the door at 5:30 in time to hit McDonald's for dinner....only to order and realized my wallet is not in my purse. Here we go again-driving like a mad women back to the house collect a husband and wallet, back to McDonald's and on to the game-YES, Brayden was on the field at six! I on the other hand was back in the car headed to the nearest gas station as I realized the car had no gas. Time to sit in 90 degree heat and relax-ha, ha. Bedtime is next on the list---I quit! or rather am hiding out in the computer room-Ron can take over!

Actually none of this bothers me....I just miss some quality/relaxed/down time with the kids

I know one day I will look at this and laugh-actually I am too the point of laughing now but not in a good way-I have got to get my act together!
