I never seem to have time anymore. I've actually decided to spend a week logging my time. I want to see where it goes much as I keep up my check book so that I know where my money slips away to.
Isn't this supposed to be when life starts to slow down? Why do I have less time for reading or cleaning or planning?
So today, here it is, Sunday 9:00 p.m. I have 15 more minutes because I am trying to limit my computer time. I fear that's where a lot of it is going down the drain. So did I spend the majority of time in church? No, you might be surprised to find that I did not.
I spend 3 hours and 26 minutes making dinner. The family started arriving at 5:20 and I finished dinner clean up at 8:15.
Loved the time with the kids. Clayton and Kim are always so cute together. Clayton makes me laugh. Sarah is sweet. Perhaps that's where Jonathan gets it. A few stolen moments with Emily. I miss our Sunday nights together. Serving Sean dinner after everyone had left is always special time for me.
And playing with Pete. Looking at the world through a 2 year old's eyes is the best.
I'll keep you posted on what I learn this week.

Yikes! That is a lot of time to spend on dinner!
We need to do more pot luck so that you don't have to cook so much. You need to take a Sunday nap or have some other kind of down time.
I mapped out my day for Jeremiah a couple of weeks ago (minute by minute). It was amazing how every minute of my day was crammed full. No wonder I stay up so late to get a little "me" time!
By the way, I didn't stay up this late...I went to bed at 9 p.m. as soon as Jonathan did (I was too exhausted to do anything else), but when he woke up for his first feeding of the night, I couldn't get back to sleep, so I got on the computer.
My life will be easier when we switch Church times. I like it a lot better when we are out at 12:00. It gives me a couple of hours of Sunday afternoon time.
I keep reading this post and I can sooooo relate. Sundays are no day of rest around here--I too love time spent with my family, but I'm worn out at the end of that day.
