So I did complete 1,200 words today, had a play date for my girls and swam 1,000 meters, helped get Alex off to work, did house chores and I feel like i did nothing!
Why is it that I rush around doing busy things and never accomplishing anything. I have a to do list that grows longer and longer, organized very well, it should not take much for me to complete the list, yet i spend my time otherwise. I have too little time with too much to do. Stated simply and complexly.
So, why with the technology we have do we fill our time with busy work and never stop, do it simply and feel complete?
Instead I choose to make it difficult and try to finish my goal to have 28,000 or so words written. haha that would be 3,632 words a day for the next 5 days. Simple is not going to happen this week.....

I recently switched from a working mother to a stay at home mother of two. The first few months were exhilarating. I had a constant high of no schedule, spring cleaning and organizing. It was exciting to wake up later in the morning, spend the day playing and having kid fun with my little ones. I did not miss the work pressure of meeting deadlines, conference calls and systematic checking of e-mails.
However, this excitement wore off. My lack of a schedule, daily kid fun and a home that is not-so-clean-anymore turned to isolation and boredom. So I took to the outdoors. Now, this is difficult in the winter of the Northwest. The beaches of the Sound were uninhabited, cold and windy. The local parks were wet and still uninhabited. Being a new comer to the area I wondered if the winter sent all of the residents into hibernation. This lead to my question, what do stay-at-home-mom’s of small children do?
I set out on this quest to find what to do with my children, have adult contact and incorporate valuable time with my children. All of the traits are need to qualify for my reason to leave the house. As a mother with small children it is easy to not venture out. With this in mind I started checking local resources for things to do. So travel with me as I search out other SAHM with life beyond the toddler years
