Where does the time go?


May 29th, 2008

Do you know the answer to this?  I swear, one minute there is NOTHING going on, the next I look at my calendar and think, um, there goes the summer.  I am not busier than anyone else, but dang I came home tonight from work and thought to myself: Man, I left clothes in the dryer, crap there’s 3 full dirty laundry bins…THREE!!, I think there’s a bill on the counter that was due on the 23rd, we have no eggs, I have to pack for this weekend! I haven’t worked out in TWO weeks!!! The list can go on and on.  Meanwhile, I want to get together with our new friends, see my niece and nephews every possible second I can.  Catch up with some long lost friends who are also new to the area.

Part of me thinks, dude are my priorities so out of whack that I’m really bad at time management? I mean less be honest on any given day that is a yes…but as much as I am obsessive about cleanliness, organization and “everything has its place” sometimes I just have to turn the other way! For example, it is 12:27 right now I should be sleeping but here I am blogging - I have felt like there’s no exciting events happening…but tonight I needed to get my thoughts out so here will be a series of a few posts on various topics.

I guess I am self evaluating in this blog.  Realizing it’s ok that I’m not perfect (SO not perfect), being lazy is acceptable in certain situations (right?), beating myself up over the things I didn’t do/say isn’t going to change my situation.

So if you’re out there and I’ve said I want to get together, I really do!!! (Jackie!!!) I promise to get in touch with you very soon and know those weren’t empty words!

    I hear ya! Prioritize this way…will it matter in five years that you ran out of eggs this week? “No”
    Will it matter in five years whether or not you catch up with long lost friends? “yes”
    If you don’t catch up they could become forever lost friends. You’re doing great. By the way, just to add to your stress…my baby shower is going to August 2nd. I would love it if you could come, but TOTALLY understand if you can’t. I just thought I’d give you a heads up far enough in advance so that you can have it on your calendar before you get the invitation.

    I really hope we were the “new friends” or the “long lost friends” that you so desperately wanted to hang out with! :) Because I’m cool…
