Time

Time seems to be running off into winter without me. I am finding the days, hours and minutes are slipping out of my hands without me ever having achieved the things I wanted. We have Halloween in two days, with a party invite and at least 5 costumes to sort. A birthday in four days with no sign of a party sorted, friends invited or presents wrapped with two more family birthdays to follow in November. All this will fly past and I shall find myself faced with December and another birthday and Christmas looming large.


I have all good intentions!

Wool and fabric have been purchased, patterns researched ready to make all sorts of lovely gifts. Ideas for home Ed have been discussed and half planned, resources picked out. But still I find us running out of time nothing ever really accomplished. Or maybe it has. We have all been reading, sharing stories and ideas. We have welcomed in the sky plus box I had long fought against only to find we are able to pick and choose far more selectively what we and the children watch instead of sitting sifting through rubbish and wasting the time watching it! Music is being practised diligently and daily, and while not all of it is really soothing it is wonderful to hear.

Maybe the only time really lost is the time I spend worrying. All the rest will turn out in some way or another as time well spent.
