Time An Enemy or a Friend

I wish I could believe time was my friend, that it will wash away the bad memories and help me see the past with rose-colored glasses. You know, like I will somehow magically forget these exhausted years of frustration and crankiness and wondering what on earth I am doing! But time definitely seems like somewhat of an enemy for me lately – I think the precious moments of my life are flashing past, my babies are growing up and I’m a chicken with her head cut off, wondering why I can’t see anymore.

Ok, a little dramatic I know but while fall is a great time to get down to being productive (I have great plans still to try and use September as a self-improvement month as per Alyssa’s suggestions over at Sitepoint), things have been getting busier so quickly that I need to take a day or two to put some better systems in place. I do great on days like today when all three boys were gone (2nd day of dayhome for baby – woohoo!) and I can sit down and just WORK. But I need to work on my productivity other days. I’m getting tired of always working at night when they are in bed.

And when I get busy with work, which is good since you know– it pays, I put too much stuff on the backburner. I’d like to leave at least an hour open every night for some personal stuff like posting to this blog, writing some books reviews I actually want to write but don’t get to, I’ve even been twittering less lately-ack!

Oh well, Big Brother is over now for the summer – maybe those hours I spent watching it will help me out with my productivity, lol!

Time for sleep now – being rested definitely helps me be more productive!
