So I read that book ages ago and it really transformed my life, and I think I need to read it again...Lately life is just passing me by and I am starting to wonder if it will ever get easier...I think the answer is no, but that is OK. One page out of the book mentioned that your 'inbox is always going to be full'...which is key. Even on your death bed you are going to have a to-do list the size of Toledo and none of that will matter anymore. I always rush from one thing to the other, my days are pretty jam packed...let's talk about today for instance:
5:30 - troy wakes - alarm wakes me - arg
6:00 - baby wakes - arg arg
6:15 - nurse finn
6:30 - desperately try to convince finn he is still sleepy..doesn't work
6:45 - workout (love the 10 min trainer)
7:00 - eat & feed the clifford
7:15 - shower
7:30 - feed finn
8:00 - clean up house - try and tidy things to normalcy
9:00 - feed finn and put him for a nap - yay
9:05 - try and be a good dog owner and play with cliff for 15 min
9:20 - work work work
10:00 - play with finn - living room dance party - he loves maestro fresh wes..don't we all?
10:45 - run errands to store and bank
12:00 - feed finn and nap
12:05 - work work work
1:00 - play time - thank god for the jolly jumper
1:15 - call folks - skype them to see finn
3:00 - try and put finn for a nap...NOT successful
3:45 - just tell finn he is going to have to stay awake now until bedtime
4:00 - feed finn
4:30 - make supper
5:00 - eat gross supper - where did I go wrong in the recipie?
5:30 - more food for finn - unending gut!
6:30 - start bed time routine
7:15 - try to put finn to bed...wouldn't stop grabbing my hair...arg...arg...arg
7:45 - baby still screaming...
8:00 - time to go to work...sigh
8:50 - writing to you fine folks
So my question is this...how do I find time for a life and fun? This is what I have been grappling with for a few weeks. When do I have fun with Troy? Enjoy a book? Re-do my bathroom? So much to do and so little time! So I have finally figured it out...instead of running all day and waiting until finn sleeps to enjoy myself I realize I just have to enjoy all the small things that happen all day long - the giggles from dancing to electric avenue, the look on Clifford's face as he gallops around my legs, the few minutes I get to talk to troy..to make sure he knows I love him, and the 5 brownies I consummed today (don't be a hater)...Life is what is happening right now and I am going to relax, enjoy it and live it to the fullest. Such a cliche, but when you get it, it makes so much sense...so on that note, I am going to stop working for tonight and watch some retarded chick flick while troy is away on business and eat the rest of the brownies! yay me!
