As a mom you learn to do everything fast-like running errands -i hustle to the car because they are always too many places to go and not enough time before child breakdown, nursing, preschool pick-up or store closing (I don't sprint so people think i am a fleeing shoplifter- but defintely don't saunter) I am a walking multitasker (talking on the phone, holding, baby, putting on mascara at the same time) we appreciate TIME in a way others can't understand--as a mom i have shaved my morning "get ready routine down to 15 min"- yet somehow it still doesn't happen many days-- it takes my husband longer than that to get ready. Whenever we get ready at the same time i tell him- go faster- scrub faster, brush faster- such squandering!!
maybe i think if i can get himt o go faster i can steal his minutes??

on being "smart"...
**Disclaimer** I publish in rough draft, uncut form and I "just say no" to spell checker.
As a mom busy growing up 3 little boys, I want to teach them to be smart! And by that I mean to think, to make wise choices, to care about the important things, to help make the world better, and use up their lives on the things that really matter.

The other day someone in a store commented about how talented I was with one hand, lol! "Well", I wanted to say (and maybe even gloat a little), "I've been through rigorous training and you should see me clean my house on a moment's notice for unexpected company!"
I surprise myself often wih how much I can do at once when I have to!!!
Only moms get it. How come I can get ready faster with a baby attached to my leg than most men can?
I got us all ready in 15 minutes today, I was suprised!!
(Delete was mine--had a glaring typo.)
I think moms just get into "hurry" mode. Unfortunately, I even rush when I don't have to. I've told my kids to hurry up and they'll say, "Why? Where are we going?" Um, I guess we're not going anywhere. I guess you don't have to hurry after all...
Just popping on again to demand a new post. I'm having withdrawals. :-)
