Finding TIme

As a mother, I am always rushed for time. I have a list of things I wish to do with my family, and a list for things I long to do for myself.
It amazes me when only parts of the family are missing, how much more time I have on my hands. I quickly fill it with the things I wish to do:

• reading magazines that I got from the throw away pile at the library
• clipping out pictures I want to hold onto from those magazines
• listening to music I enjoy
• reading my textbooks-- currently taking classes in subjects I enjoy
• snuggling under a blanket with brownies and a coffee
• watching dumb TV

These are the things that filled the last day and a half. By this time tomorrow, Ruth will have returned home, and I think time will crunch again. But, that is OK, because I have some time on my hands to go back and finish up some things I enjoy...
