It has been almost three weeks since I got here. I can't believe how quickly time does go the older you get. Being with the kids all day I realize why time moved so slowly when we were little--we didn't have any great time consuming projects. We could move from activity to activity without feeling like there was something else that we should be spending our time on. If you want to play ball for 20 minutes you can. Lately, during the day, I never spend more than twenty minutes on any one activity. You can do a lot in a day when it only requires twenty minutes of your time. For instance, on Friday I:
- played ball
- pretended to eat and enjoy plastic food
- read 'mimi' book, making up the story of my own since it was in French
- made lunch
- played ball some more
- played kitchen
- went for a walk and fed the ducks (or the baba's as the little one calls them)
- drew some pictures
- etc, etc, and some more repeating...
A day spent on such activities is exhausting. I struggle to spend more than twenty minutes on any of the time consuming activities that I have filled my life with. eh.
