Lately I’ve been feeling like there are not enough hours in the day. I’m running on overdrive, my nights are running into my days and my days into my nights. Mainly because my 8 1/2 month old is still not sleeping through the night. On a good night he’ll only wake up once, but most of the time I’m up with him every 20 minutes for several hours. Then I spend my days constantly wondering what time it is so that I can fit in all the things I need to get done. This obsession with time is causing a desperate need for clocks in every room. It’s not enough to carry my cell phone around with me. My microwave, my oven, my tv remote all have clocks and then there’s all the clocks we have on the walls.
The one thing I feel like there’s never enough time to do is clean my house! It doesn’t help that I don’t like to clean, which is a catch 22 because I like a clean house. But there’s the Time issue again. Do I sit my kids in front of the tv so I can clean the house without them under my feet, do I wait till they go to bed? I guess I could do it during their nap time, although I have that time set aside for sewing, blogging, meeting new people in the blogsphere.
I just want to scream…
Time
Slow Down!
My kids are growing up way too fast!
I need more time with my husband!
The days keep flying by!
My toilets still need to be cleaned!
I haven’t even had time to shower today… {gross}!
Do any of you have this same struggle?
Do you ever feel like the hours fly by and you still can’t get everything you need to done?
I’m sure there are some of you out there who have this same struggle with obsessing over time. Or maybe you just have a love for clocks. I love clocks too! I have a friend named Staci, who owns her own business making custom clocks. Is that amazing, or what?! She makes the cutest clocks, like

I like the clock that says "we do not remember days, we remember moments.
" With the crackled face front.
