The Mixed Blessings of Being Busy

I'm sure any mom could write their own post about this. lol Lately I've been too busy for my taste, but I know it's healthy-ish. lol Busy for this mom means I'm always doing something, while at the same time, thinking of at least 3 other things I need to be doing before I forget to do them, which in my economy of things, would mean even more things to do, as letting go of small chores, leads to bigger ones. So... with my head spinning most of the day, by the time I sit here at my laptop to share my day with you I'm feeling a bit deflated! lol

All this and I have to admit to having spent very little quality time with my kids today. So in that sense, today wasn't a blessing to me... or to them. Days when I can keep up with them, and they can keep up with me... and we're doing the keeping up together... rather than in different rooms of the house, with different activities... and yes... chores, are days to celebrate. Even if we'd been doing chores together, I could have put a period at the end of my day with a smile.

There's always tomorrow... so we'll see if we can do better then. I'm planning in the midst of my busyness to take them to a movie. Then maybe... if I can pull a few dollars together, I'll take us all out to lunch. That in turn might just make me even more busy though... as spending money drives me to concentrate harder on trying to earn money. lol It's a vicious cycle I tell ya!

What about when I'm not busy? Wouldn't you know on days when I'm not overly active, I find it hard to stay awake? lol Yes, I'm typing this in shame... if I don't have activities, chores, people calling, children needing and work piling... and I dare sit still, I'm asleep in a matter of minutes. I'm sure this is a sign of something. lol Just not sure what. I can find a blessing in this... if there's actually freedom for Wendy to be sleeping! lol I mean if it's ok for me to go off the mommy clock, then sure... let me sleep! Honestly though, it reminds me of when I was a young girl, seeing my grandmother who owned and operated her own business falling asleep anytime she took a break. lol She took very few breaks by the way!
