“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”

Well, I came across this quote this morning while I was sitting in the carpool line at the elementary school. If you stop and think for a moment, its so true. Here we are on our day to day life, getting ready for work, packing lunches, planning dinners, figuring how to get one kid in one place while running across town to get another kid somewhere else. You then try to run home and figure when to feed dinner, do homework, baths, reading time, get everyone all tucked away. You stop and think... and say whew," everyone's in bed, I can sit down," WRONG. Now you have to figure out lunches do some laundry clean up the dishes, put away clothes, not to mention any work things that need to be dealt and so forth. There are just not enough hours in the day. Even if we added another hour or two or three, would it make a difference?

Sometimes, I really think I need to just stop and see where my life is heading. I want the day to go by so fast and say to myself, "finally, they're in bed" that I forget every time I do and say that, I have grown a day older. And what have I done or accomplished? Yea, yea, "I took care of the kids, and they have done what they wanted to do and that's a big accomplishment" blah blah blah and all, I know. But what about me? Don't get me wrong, I love my kids and everything, but am I loving myself enough? What about my life?  That's the question.....
