tick tock
I often lie in bed at night, waiting to fall asleep with my husband snoring in my ear and think about things that didn’t get done during the day. ‘I wanted to clear the clutter from the dining room, I wanted to cook that dish just a 1/2 hour longer, I wanted to write that blog post and have a shower. And the floor didn’t get washed again.’
I wish I had the ability to control time, to slow down the day and give me more hours to complete the things I want to do. I want to be the best mom. I want to be the best spouse. I want to be the best ME. So many things fall by the wayside because others take prority and that’s ok. But wouldn’t it be awesome if it were possible to change that?
I’d stop the clock and freeze the world and sit down for a nice cup of coffee.
I’d read a book.
I’d let the kids play 5 min longer in the tub.
I’d SLEEP, oh my gawd how I’d sleep!
Everything would be in it’s place and the house would sparkle and this blog would be full of craft ideas and recipes and stunning photographs to boot. Hey, maybe I’d even get that book written!
I wish, I wish, I wish.
What would you wish for?
This post was inspired by Monday Mojo – the Monday Blog Meme that gets your Mojo moving! This week they’re asking:
If you came upon a magic genie who could grant you ONE wish for YOURSELF…what would you wish for? What would make the biggest difference in your life? No ‘world peace’ wishes here people. We want you to be selfish for once and think of yourself and what you want for you and nobody else. So? What’s your wish?
At this point I just wish for some motivation. I think I have too much time on my hands. Nothing is getting done and I have all the time in the world.
I don’t know what to do about it. Maybe I should look for a job and fill up all my time and then I can complain that there isn’t enough time.
it’s a lose lose……..
Hi there – I totally relate to wishing we could freeze time. I’ve been there. I’m a big list person. Actually, not so much lists, but Excel Spreadsheets. I put together a schedule for when I’d write, when I’d read, and when I’d read and comment on other people’s blogs. I’m not giving myself vast amounts of time. I’m getting up a tiny bit before my kids wake up, and I’m writing a little bit at night after they go to bed, before I go fold laundry and hang out with my hubby. It’s just a few moments tucked in between all the other things I’m doing, but those moments are making all the difference in the world to me right now. I feel in control, and I’m happier and more balanced because I’m getting some time for ME in there.
Wishing you 5 more minutes of sleep tomorrow! Sweet Dreams!
I went in a totally different direction with my wish. LOL Purely selfish and evil…immortality or invisibility.
Oh, how I can relate. Would love for time to slow down. I am a big list builder and I tend to think of everything as tasks. Problem is my list grows faster than I can complete it. My other issue lately is I’m feeling like my children are growing up too fast.
