I Vote For 27 Hours In A Day

I really wish I had more time. More time for sleep, for me, for doing nothing, and for writing. Writing . . . huh? That’s right - I wish I had more time to write. I have about 5 articles waiting to be written for this blog. They may not be groundbreaking or very interesting, but they still weigh on my mind (that’s not even counting the 3-5 that I’ll probably just delete because I forgot what I wanted to say). Unfortunately, I don’t foresee these being written any time soon because I have more important things to write.

I’m very excited about a new project that Favorite and I have in the works. However, it requires A LOT of writing on my part and I don’t even have time to do that! More on our project later.

It’s funny that I find myself fantasizing about being at work (my old job before baby) for no other reason than the fact that I had time during my breaks to do stupid things like check my favorite sites and find new ones. And had I had this blog back then, I would have added content like crazy! I would also have the time to write for our project. Sad, isn’t it? That I had more time for these activities when I was responsible for providing instruction to over 70 students - yet I have next to no time when “all” I have to do is care for 1 baby.

I just wanted to express my wish for a longer day. Maybe 27 hours would be perfect. Or maybe (knowing me) once I had 27, I’d be asking for 29. Whatever . . . I need more time!

  1. I’m with you. There are simply not enough hours in the day. I have to decide whether to get only 4-5 hours of sleep or not get to everything I want to get done.

    I can’t believe you posted twice in one week! ;)

  2. I’m envious of your 4-5 hours of sleep. I feel like I’m only getting that per week. What am I doing up right now?!

    Yeah, I can’t believe it either - it’s usually more like once every two weeks!

  3. I can relate to that! But it gets better…and those smiles are worth it, I think. : )

    I have four now, and they have gotten used to their schedule that allows some bit of time for mom to concentrate on writing.

  4. I was just thinking today that she’s absolutely worth every sleepless night. As silly as it seems . . . I’m thankful that I have someone like her to keep me up at night.

    Wow, you must have your hands full with four! But it sounds like you have a handle on things :). I’ll get there one day!

  6. I’m too sleep deprived to even feel it!!!

    But thanks for caring - I swear I’ll post something soon! I’m just afraid that it won’t make any sense - lol!

  7. Hi Avill,
    I totally agree with you, 24 hours is not enough. There are so many thing that we would like to do but at the end, only a few are accomplished. Blogging is so much fun but it does consume our time.
    Have a great weekend :)

  8. Yeah, blogging does take up a lot of time. I find that when I do have a minute to write, I mostly end up reading to catch up on my favorite ones. I spend too much time reading and not enough writing! Oh well . . . I’ll get to it soon enough :).
