Time Flies. Where's The Fun??

I need more hours in my day.  I seriously doubt that I am alone in that line of thinking.  It seems that no matter what we do, time continues to press forward.  All we manage to do is to add more "stuff" that needs to be done in that time.  

Currently, I am working full time, Mommy-ing full time, and trying to go to school part time.  Add in the meal plan, exercise, and a little time for sleep, and the hours in my day are all spoken for.  No matter how hard I try, I cannot manage to plan time to do NOTHING into those days.  I seriously doubt anyone else can either.  

So, at present, I am feeling stretched to my limits.  I know I can get it all done, I am just a little stressed with trying.  

However, I did get to take a nice long walk with the boys yesterday.  I even jogged with my previous All-American Cross-Country Runniing husband...and kept up.  How's that for an ego boost?  

I really needed to get moving on a homework assignment, but I really was having little in the way of inspiration.  And, just as I was getting ready to hunker down and do it, Ziggy crawled up into my lap and wanted to cuddle while watching Cars.  The homework was important.   That was more so.  

And there was my fun.  I took time that I would have spent locked away in homework land and was able to find joy in time with my boys.  Did the homework go away?  Nope.  Do I regret taking the time to walk and cuddle?  Again, nope.  Not ever will I regret taking time for my family.

And...the homework is done.  Naptime provided the perfect excuse to focus and get it done.  And, by the time naptime was over, homework was finished.  

No more time found, but certainly quality time made.  

And in the end, that's the most important time that can be spent.
