Sometimes, I waste time.
It’s not that I have a problem with it or anything. Actually, I’m rather fond of time, especially if it’s free and has my name written all over it.
Truthfully, I’m an enormous fan of time. I obsessively keep track of it with my schedules and calendars. I monopolize it. I wonder how it got away from me. And, I always want more of it.
If I could, I’d recycle it. ‘Cuz I’m green like that.
I’d re-do it ‘til I got it right. Those precious moments would get recycled over and over- Christmas mornings, birthdays and endless summer days.
I’d even reduce time a bit- throw away those ugly moments that are cowering in the closet.
I used to be pretty aggressive in my approach to time. (See “Wanted Dead or Alive- My Free Time”).
Now, as the girls are getting older and I have a few moments to myself while they’re in preschool and kindergarten, I have learned spare time does come….well….. in good time.
So, maybe I should re-phrase “wasting time”.
I’m not wasting it.
I’m savoring it.
Doing nothing. Feet up. With some chocolate.
Ahhh….It’s about time.
Don’t ‘cha think?
Sure took its sweet a$$ time, though.

Kind of like a more laid-back version of Groundhog Day....
Your philosophy is the best, best, best!
too much time on my hands... styxx
love that song..
I love it! I savor every free moment I get too. Although it's far less then I'd like. Everyone needs that time to feel refreshed.
oh I just love how you write and your sense of humor :) This was a great one. I agree with you completely. I obsess over time too.
Oh you have reached that pinnacle where both kids are in school? SWEET! I'm 1 year off from my "free time" and I can't wait.
My best, Lynn
Um, heck yes! Especially the chocolate part.

I cannot WAIT until I learn to do that! Good on you.
Yes! Someday, I will get my just rewards!
I'm so bad about puttering around.
Speaking of time....I finally found some to throw you a bone :)
Thanks for the nudge!!

I think I've finally started seeing the "light at the end of the Time tunnel" too. Maybe they will be a day where, instead of Franticmommy, I can be Just "Slightly Rushed Mommy"....hmmm?
"If I could, I’d recycle it. ‘Cuz I’m green like that."
LOL!!! Hell yeah!
Preach it girl! Love this!
I find when I DO have time now that I have so many things I WANT to do that I WASTE time deciding WHAT to do! UGH! Vicious circle!
I agree with blueviolet! Savor each and every one!
Free time is absolute bliss, especially when you're talkin' the feet-up, chocolate moment.
I have YEARS before the kids go to school. It sounds nice lol
That is mommy time and there is nothing wasteful about it!
Beautifully written! And, time spent with chocolate is never wasted ;)
A to the MEN. :)
Glad you're livin' in the moment! Enjoy your precious free time, it's amazing how has a recharging effect.
I'm gripping onto these sweet moments while my kiddo's are home as fast as I can. I will get my time soon enough.....and then even sooner I will have more of it than I want.
