The Problem of Time

OK....so I am a "stay at home this year" Mom. One would think I would have lots and lots of time on my hands. Yeah right! Everyone told me the transition from one child to two children is significant, but I don't think I was quite prepared for how different things are. BB is getting to be such an independent little boy. So much so that I had forgotten how much attention toddlers need. The minute I turn around, BG has her hands in the toilet and paper in her mouth. I don't want to wish this time away, but it has been a challenge to learn how to get things done.

I made a list of all the things I want to accomplish this week:

• Clean the house
• Do the laundry
• Learn Korean
• Learn how to cook Korean food
• Get the kids pictures taken in their hanboks
• Read all my books on adoption, attachment, behavior management, and sensory concerns.
• Start a fundraiser for Jonah (we want to sell coffee!)
• Paint BB and BG's room
• Paint the kitchen and cabinets
• Write a book on MPS and families/children impacted by the disease
• Get my eyebrows waxed
• Decide on what my second career is going to be
• Spend quality time with my husband
• Return to horseback riding
• Continue to lose weight
• Go to the gym
• Take my vitamins regularly
• Clean the basement
• Start researching our families' geneologies
• Find a way I can contribute to the adoption community
• Become more active at church
• Train my naughty dog

Ummm....this might be a little ambitious. I may just focus on trying to take a shower each day. That might be more attainable.
