It has finally hit me. . .

For years I have looked at other women, and thought... wow.

They have a LOT to do.

Why are they so busy?

They must over schedule their kids (yes, I judge sometimes... you do too.)

Why doesn't any one have time?

Why are they so harried?

What do they have going on in their lives that I don't?

Well my friends.

After 11 1/2 years of marriage,

and 10 moves,

and 4 children.

I have finally discovered what it is that makes you all so busy.

LIFE.

Wake Up: 6:30
Walk for 30 mins

Decide you need to go to yet ANOTHER store 7:00 p.m.
Get home at 8:30
Field more phone calls 8:30-9:00.
Apologize to people for having it take you 4 hours to call them back.

I hear ya! I used to wonder why mom's with kids in school were soooo busy! Well, now I know. And besides, I still have one in kindergarten and one in preschool so I'm constantly on the move. 1:30 pm showers are pretty common. I sometimes wonder if it will get better when they're all in school all day, but then I think....who am I kidding! Somehow it will still be busy and maybe worse!
