Where on EARTH does the time go? It’s April 1st today! When did that happen? I think I’m stuck back at the beginning of January - still trying to recover from Christmas and deciding what to do this year. Before I know it, tax returns are due in two weeks!
By the way, I got my first issue of Wondertime today and it did not disappoint! I was reading it while the toot was eating lunch… only ten pages in, and I was laughing so hard I was crying. If you haven’t already, I recommend checking it out.
I decided yesterday (as I was procrastinating getting my last few hours of the month in) that I REALLY need to find time for my hobbies. It’s so funny… I don’t consider blogging a hobby! Although, I do need more time to blog as well. I especially want to find the time to go through all our photos, print the ones I want, and SCRAPBOOK! I also have my little niece Vivian’s quilt to finish before she goes to grade school (haha) and I’d like to put together a scrapbook of my father’s ancestors. Not to mention, scan the box of photos I found in my parents’ basement last summer. It’s been sitting on the end of my desk since September taking up TONS of room!
Like most toddler moms, there aren’t enough hours in the day! I have learned that I just can’t do it all… but I guess I refuse to be resigned to that. LOL
I’m going to try to set some time aside each week to spend on those projects. I’m going to make a list of them… schedule the time on my calendar… and just DO it. (There I go being a Nike ad again.)
The great thing about all these projects is that they are things the toot can do with me! He loves to play in my craft room while I scrapbook or sew. I have a table in there for him to color, glue, etc. and do what mom is doing. He usually just brings his massive amounts of cars in there and plays. I show him what I’m working on and we talk about it… he is at the stage where he has so many questions. “But why?” is becoming more and more common.
Another new thing he’s started is, when we are driving down the road and he hears a horn honk, he says, “Who’s the idiot?” Thanks, SavvyDad.

“who’s the idiot?” LOVE IT! I totally need to do all of those projects too! It is driving me nuts, but I still don’t make time to do them. I keep thinking “once I get through….then I will do…” but something else always comes up!
