Time is of the Essence.

Ya, ok. So it's been about a month since I last blogged. I feel like I have no time to myself as it is, so to actually make an effort and spend a half hour sitting at a computer making a cohesive well put together post doesn't turn my crank as much as maybe giving myself a ultra-mini-mani (i.e.: painting my nails), or talking to my hard working hubby. Plus, I have learned how to be a queen of procrastination; for example, I still have pictures from last Christmas on my camera. Terrible I know. ( Which is why there are few pictures on my posts. Plus I am afraid that my almost decade old imac will explode if I upload anymore pictures onto it.)

I know how important it is to take time for yourself. But, I also know how hard it is to actually set time aside. Yes, I am a housewife, but with two kids who are at me all day for attention and affection, a sink that seems to always be heaping full of dishes, a floor that constantly needs to be vacuumed thanks to our very hairy golden retriever Sadie, and a full laundry room, by the time bed time rolls around for the kiddies, I'm ready too (plus I hate missing my Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night re-run). I have a half-started quilt in the basement (that I would really love to continue and finish. ) my eliptical machine gathering dust, a bunch of things I want to paint, pictures that need uploading and editing, a backlog of house work, and my kitchenaid mixer begging to get used.... I better remember how to multi-task as if I were in college again.

What ever happened to my bountiful energy, clever organization, and fast and efficient multi-tasking? I must de-wrinkle my brow, dust off my shoulders and hop to it I suppose.

p.s. Sofia is taking a nap, and William is off galivanting with Daddy, so I bit the bullet. ( ya, instead of tackling the house work.)
