Time...It makes me tired

Time is a funny thing.  

It's something many of us feel like we need more of.

Something that can ease a broken heart or settle a disagreement.

It's something we wish would go faster when we're young yet slow down when we get older.

Time is something you can never get back.

At the moment, I wish I had more hours in my day.  

When the alarm sings at 4:40am my body screams, "Stay in bed!". 

 By 5:00am I'm up and out the door to walk at least 3 miles.  I enjoy these walks.  

It gives me some of the cardio I need and "time" with my friend to just be chatty girl friends:)

We walk for an hour and then it's time for me to prepare breakfast and lunch for my nephew before waking him.  By 6:45am I'm out the door on my way to drop Blake off at school. 

 Once back home it's time for the other kids to raise and start their day.  While that's happening I'm cleaning, doing laundry, or preparing and looking over the school work for the day.  I teach and clean and make needed calls. Sometime during the day I try to workout one more time with my friend that I walked with earlier...this time it is a hard workout:) 

Many times I have a doctors appointment I need to take a child to or shopping that I need to do.  

Then starts my evening business.

Volleyball, HS football, Youth football, Cheer, Youth group

Yep, the kids in this house are ACTIVE!

I love it but wish that it didn't keep me away at least 4 nights a week (not including games).

By the time I get home it is 9:oopm.  

Everyone needs to be fed, showered, and possibly finish left over homework.

10:00 pm is lights out on a school night.  No questions asked. 

So, time is on my mind a lot.

* Being sure I'm spending plenty of quality time for each person in my family is important to me.  

*Being aware of when, where, and how I can get my kids to and from is always on my mind.  

Thankfully, grandma helps on Thursday and Todd helps when I'm off with someone else.

*Being sure they have

 down time, peace time, fun time...these are also on my mind.

Unwind:

In this craziness I try to find a little slice of quiet time here and there.  

If I look I can find it...I just have to remember to look:)
