Lately there seems to be so much to do and just not enough time to fit everything in. When I was younger I could, and would spend hours working on writing projects, or walking through the woods. Lately I feel like I've accomplished a lot if I manage to get dressed before dinner. Ok, so it's not always that bad, and a good part of that is because my son often wakes before I do, which means I have to roll out of bed running. I don't really mind having to hit the ground running, so long as I'm getting the things I want to get done done, but that doesn't happen with a toddler in the house. Instead, I end up trying to fit in tasks where and when I can. Which means, all those things I used to spend hours working on might now only have a few minutes, or no time at all.
Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't trade my baby for the world, but sometimes I wouldn't mind five minutes.
And now my mind's wandered off again. I wish it would stop doing that, even though it sometimes comes back with the most amazing stories... now I just need the time to write them all down.
Or, maybe, I should just try to get to sleep earlier.
