24 is just not enough...

valanhb · Mar 11, 2005

I was just thinking, as I'm deciding what projects at work I can put off until Monday, and thinking about what I need to do this afternoon and weekend (I only work until noon on Fridays), and what I really want to do this afternoon and weekend...

Well, 24 hours just isn't enough for one day. I need more. I want more. Not more for work, but more time to do what I want to do instead of barely squeezing in the things I need to do.

I would like a few more hours per day to be able to read books, cross stitch, play more with the cats.

If you had a few more hours a day for "you" time, what would you do with it?

If I had more hours in the day, I would do more gardening, reading and crafts.

If I had more time I would write new pages for my websites, surf the net more, do some spring cleaning, and spend more time with Angel.

If I had more time:
read a little longer, walk a little farther, sit & stare at the trees a little longer, play with daughter a little longer, hug the kitties a little longer.

That should just about do it. I sure as heck wouldn't WORK a little longer!!!

I'd sew more, love my kitties more, sketch out some of these quilts I have floating around in my head, heck, I might even get them pieced and quilted! Definitely some yardwork, there's so much that I want done out there!

I think I'd sleep more. I read that one actress tries to get 9 hours of sleep every night and I thought "that's a good goal". Unrealistic for me, but good.

Other than that... I'd try to spend more time with the people (and kitties) I cared about. Maybe study more (yeah right). Read more.

Oh to have a longer day...

rosiemac · Mar 11, 2005

I'd read more, have longer to chat with friends, snuggle up with Rosie and Sophie, oh!, and longer on TCS

Upholstery and interior design. Everything in my living room I did myself. I would like to get to other rooms in the house and be able to just sketch, dream, and create. But my head is WAY too clogged every day!

Nice photo Eddie.

By the way, why do people call you Eddie and not Elizabeth?

I agree that 24 hours just isn't enough for a day. A few more hours wouldn't cut it either. I wish time could stop, so I could catch up on some things.

Spend more time with family and friends. Try to do more scrapbooking and crafts. I can relate to the prioritizing what needs to be done. I am thinking the same thing. What can I do this weekend and what needs to be done.

Thank you! Like Heidi, I can only see what needs to be done and what I can do.

..not all the extra time I have to do what I WANT to do. Eddie is a nickname of 20+ years since I was a kid. I have 6 brothers, I'm in the middle, and they just treated me like one of them. I had short hair, freckles, and big teeth so it just stuck.

Now back to all the free time we have.....

coolcat · Mar 11, 2005

reading this thread I`ll remember the movie "Insomnia" with Al Pacino & Robin Williams, in Anchorage Alaska, One day during a long 6 months if a remember well...

I think Heidi must to move there!

Just kidding!

fwan · Mar 11, 2005

Yeah! 24 hrs... id do my homework!

ilovecats · Mar 11, 2005

I feel exactly the same as you!

I would play with the furbabies, visit friends, sleep more, and just sqeeze in more time for me!

dawnofsierra · Mar 12, 2005

I would spend more time with my sweet baby girl, read more, walk on the beach more, volunteer more, and yes, sleep more!

kittylover4ever · Mar 12, 2005

Oh heck, I"d probably eat more!!

That's why I go to bed at 8:30 pm!

berylayn · Mar 12, 2005

Oh I would kill to have more hours in a day!! What a great thread. There are so many things I would do:

spend more time on TCS, read, clean my apartment, hang out with my friends, volunteer.

I wish I had time to do half that stuff now, but unfortunately it seems like I have a 24 hour a day job.

I hear you bery...I'm students teaching and it is taking a lot out of me. I am teaching all day except math, but I'll even be picking up math for a bit next week! I met with my friends on Monday, and none of them are even close to the point of taking over like I am! Taking over so much within a few days time, and having an informal university supervised visit, and getting grilled by my CT for 2 days straight really took it's toll on my body and I ended up crying after school. Friday was a lot better, and my CT said that my science lesson was 100% (fianally some positive feed back). I don't wish the school day to be longer, but I do wish my weekends and nights were longer. Oh and did I mention that I'm also now grading everything! I take home everything! I still have all of it yet to do, along with planning every lesson (science, math, and all of the reading groups) and edit a girl's story for writer's workshop....her story is about how she got her two kitties, and how silly they are. I love their little imaginations!

Lacey, its been awhile! You just gave me flashbacks to my student teaching experience. I don't think its complete unless you cry at least once. I got told once that i was teaching at about a 60%. Ugh - that made me cry. I hope things start getting easier for you and the days start to feel a little longer soon.

marge · Mar 12, 2005

The thing is I would only wantmore time on weekends! Not during the week. But boy that would be great, just have TIME, free time is the best, even if it just means taking a walk.

24 is just not enough...
