That often makes for midnite nites when I realize that whoops - Thing A never got done today! <br /><br />And WAH on share a time when I missed out on something coz I was so busy with something else - I laffed (cried) when I saw that question as the first thing that came to mind were: my two children! One of them is a college sophomore - HOW did that happen? Did I spend enough time with him? Did I relish enough in all the mommy experiences? Did I put work/volunteer work in front of him way too many times? Hubby even commented recently: when we have grandkids I'm gonna throw ball with them, teach him/her how to golf, - all these things he shoulda done with his own kids - ack!

I feel like I am just so busy with stuff to do. It feels like I am constantly putting out fires. I suppose I put on hold the things that I feel can be taken care of later.

I struggle to balance competing interests. Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out on something with the kids, but I also know I can miss out on study or pastoral interactions if I'm not disciplined too. <br /><br />Laundry and dishes tend to pile up, but they have a way of demanding attention before too long. I miss details on things that are important to me when I allow things to get to busy and distracted.Fr. Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13441651303376484915noreply@blogger.com
