Urgent!

I got a comment from Suzanne. It said I needed an update. Well, I posted one under "T is for Time." I hope everyone will post and leave me comments about it. I felt like since I got told to do an update, I could make it URGENT. This killed two blogs at once. At least they are in order. I am skipping around the alphabet blogging whatever strikes me at the time. I will be posting V is for Victory and W is for Wheelbarrow soon. I even have pics I took to go with these.

T is for........

Time

Does anyone have enough of it? I am serious. I think I need at least five more hours in my day. Every day seems to be such a rush, including Sundays. Sundays are supposed to be a day of worship and relaxation, but not in the Russell household. It seems like we get up to rush to church, rush to eat lunch, rush home to do what needs to be done, get ready for Awana, eat supper, prepare for Monday, get the kids bathed and go to bed. Where is the family time in that? Where is the relaxation day in that? There is none! Is anyone else feeling like this?

Weekdays are no better! We get up, get dressed, drop the kids off at school, go to work, pick up the kids, complete tasks at home, complete any small homework items Anna has, bathe kids, and go to bed. Where is family time? Is it in the rush of eating? Is it in the middle of bath time? Is it quality time in the car with the dvd player going and the phone ringing? Help! I do not know.

I am on my soap box, because I feel like I need more hours in the day. More hours in the day to be a valuable wife and mother. I spend eight hours a day teaching other children and then feel like I have slighted mine at home. Please tell me, does anyone else feel like this?

Do you ever think that Gilligan had it easy? I mean, he had nothing but time on his hands.
