Time is the Essence...yes it is.
Yes I do have a lot to say.
Today morning on facebook I set my status that "I can not afford to lose a fraction of second" and many of my really busy , some working well-wishers got alarmed.
Flashback, It was a fine morning yesterday as it is today. After tending to baby, dropping off my 6 year oldto school with lunch (homemade obviously) ,preparing fresh soup for myself, talking to my mom in India for good 30 minutes+, arrange for dinner plan and some laundry I still had some time to call a friend of mine. She also has a baby who was not well and I wished to inquire about her health.
After few minutes I invited her to come and share some soup with me for lunch, she reminded me that she is quite busy and has a lot to take care of. And added "How come I have so much time" (to call her or other friends of mine and ...well I tried to explain and finally gave up thinking - I don't need to explain. Well in time to pick up my son and his piano lesson - I picked up another friend and went to park with 3 kids in tow. While watching them swing and slide giggling happily in sunny spring morning, my mind kept wondering if I really have too much time. We also stopped by for some groceries. We came back home had coffee and dropped her back. After return I sat down with my 6 year old to get homework done and rest of things, I bet homemakers are familiar with.
I found that I was not slacking on any of my motherly responsibilities or enjoying time by myself. Neither was there any compromise on social life.
So, here is the thing.
Yes, i do things a lot faster that usual and being a list maniac I am always on top of my chores. Staying connected to my friends and family is also a part of it and I can not afford to slack there either. After all they are all I have and It gives me immense pleasure to talk to them and spend time as life permits.
Well, I am glad to confront myself today after being puzzled whole day yesterday.
I do and will always have time for people I care about.
Did I add that yesterday I also stopped at account to drop off my tax papers and after grocery made a stop to Mac D....The fruit parfait there is what I always recommend and love.
Enjoy the spring...Tomorrow I plan for a picnic, and wish you join us.
