Time?

Thats so weird! i'm sitting here trying to think what i did, and i can't think of anything. well before i had kids i worked full time, so i guess thats something. i spent more time with friends too.

Prior having children. I work, party, travelling. Most of my time is working as my work required to travel extensively. I have get to see different culture from different countries. And, with kids, is another world that I see. I have got more to learn everyday. Everyday is a challenge to me.

I do often wonder what I did with my days before I had my son. While I was pregnant with him, I only worked about 25 hours a week, so it wasn't like I spent all my time at work. I spent a lot of time getting ready for his arrival, though. I actually did needlepoint and stuff like that. I also read a lot. I could spend an entire afternoon doing nothing but reading, and get through a book in just a few hours. Now, I've been reading the last Harry Potter book since the day after it came out, and I'm still only about halfway through. I just have too many other things to do now. Before I got pregnant, I really don't know what I did with all my time. I worked 50 hours a week most weeks, but otherwise I guess I just spent a lot of time on the phone with my husband, since we never got see each other. Now with only 1 child, my days are overflowing everyday. And he's only 18 months and not involved in anything outside of our own little family yet.

I worked fulltime. Went out with friends. Spent time with my hubby. I got pregnant at 17 so there wasn't much of a party life for me. Now with 4 kids there is not enough hours in a day to complete everything that needs completed it seems like. I wouldn't change anything though!

lol I'm sure I did something.... I know I read more. Got to watch what I wanted on TV ocassionaly. Worked lots. Hung out with friends. lol nothing too thrilling.

This is so funny. When my daughter started sleeping regularly, I had this extra time on my hands before it was time for me to turn in and I actually had to stop and think what I did before she came along and nothing would come to me. Now I pop in a movie and wind down. At least I know I'm not alone...LOL

Yes I do think of that sometimes. I can't believe how much time I wasted on nothing! I feel my time is much better spent now. I remember going to clubs and partying and sleeping until late in the day. Yeah, I would say my time is much better spent now!

I know what you mean! I don't think I can even remember what I used to do. I probably washed my hair everyday. Shaved everyday. Didn't have to sniff my clothes to see if they had been puked on recently. I probably had more adult conversations and less baby babble time. I drank a cup of coffee straight out of the pot and didn't have to heat it up in the microwave 4 times to get it down. I had the ability to read a chapter of a book when I got into bed at night instead of falling asleep before my head hit the pillow. I also probably had a phone conversation without stopping to say "no" "don't do that" "put that down" "please be quiet". But I also never knew what truly being needed and unconditionally loving something with all of my heart was. So, I'll take my life as hectic as it is. :)
