Delegating: you don't have to do everything, seriously.
It's not that I'm time poor. I have as much time in my day as everyone else, obviously. No one has come and stolen splices of time from my life so that I jump from mid-morning to late afternoon without noticing. It's just that I've been feeling like someone has stolen entire afternoons from me. Around 10pm most nights you can hear me cursing 'how did it get to be 10 o'clock already?'
Then someone said to me 'you don't have to do all the things on your list'.
Oh.so.true.
My list of things that needs to be done is long, as is yours I'm sure. But I've decided that I don't have to do everything on it. I'm delegating, calling in help, or simply leaving things off the list. The children are in on the act, taking responsibility for tidying their rooms and setting the table. Then I don't have to do it. It's on the list, but I don't always have to be the one to do it. I can delegate.
I can delegate and use my time in other ways. Like encouraging Ryan to jump on the bed.

time well spent capturing your cute little guy!
I was hoping to win tatts over the weekend and delegate to a cleaning lady! No but seriously, I think there is a poem about Motherhood, and it basically says that the dishes can wait, time with your kids and family is too precious.
so sweet!
a perfect way to use your time, infact i can't think any I would prefer to do. yes, and I do need to take on some of this advice.
