Just Six!

I just need 6 more hours in my day....is that really too much to ask?
It's not like I'm asking for 48...just 30!
I feel like I'm on an all out sprint all day...and still I am behind the eight ball!
If this sounds like I am complaining....I AM!!!!
Not because I don't LOVE MY LIFE!
I do....I just need more time!!!

Let's just go over a typical evening conversation....between my husband and I....if we get one! (wink)
Blue is Mark
Red is ME!
Green is in my head!

Everyday it's the same thing....bills, bills, bills. I go through more checks than anyone else I know!
U HUH!
Everyday it's the same thing....laundry, laundry, laundry. This family goes through more clothes than any other family!

They only time I feel like I have to prepare for the day is late at night and early morning! When I go to the office, everyone wants me, I'm torn a million directions!
U HUH!
The only time I have to prepare for the next day is late night or early morning! When those kids wake up, they all want me, I'm torn in 5 important directions!

I need balance!
You need 6 more hours!
I need 6 more hours!

Please tell me as you read this...your mind is feeling in the blanks with your own busy life????
or
are we just poor time managers???

I know what I'm going to do about it!


GRIN AND BARE IT!!!
and
LOVE IT!!!

  2. I bet that no amount of additional time would suffice. Kids have this magical way of filling any time with their demands. Sorry. :)

  5. You are doing a great job!
    Family demands change daily and you do a great job rolling with what the day holds. You put your family first and that is most important. Everything else will fall into place or it can wait.
    You are one awesome mama!!
