Busy body McGee, is what my name is right now. I feel like I'm always in a big hurry ... It's really not helping my IBS (yes folks, I have irritable bowel syndrome, don't make fun of me), not helping my sleep and it is definitely not helping me spiritually.
I can not tell you how frustrating it feels for me to not be able to carry ALL that I need from my house to my car in ONE trip. I'm not joking you when I say that I make it a competition with myself to see if I can carry everything (strategically if you will) so that I don't have to make two trips. Because God forbid two trips would make me a troll or something. - I will carry things in both arms, spread things out on my hands utilizing ALL of my fingers aaaaand my teeth-I have found them to be pretty strong! I will carry my purse, Maddy's backpack, water bottle, anything I have that needs to go in the car, sometimes even the car seat and most importantly my toddler. I think in all reality it actually takes me LONGER to try to get my entire house on my shoulders and try to make my way out of my very crowded garage into my car without dropping my kid. And in the midst of all this, my armpits are sweating, I'm trying to hold back very violent swear words but I bite my tongue so that I won't be blamed for our 15 month's old potty mouth. And when I finally reach my destination I am about ready to burst, and for what?! So that I could "think" that I saved an extra 2 seconds... I'm crazy!
I could say that I have everything you can think of in the technological world to make my life a breeze. I have most time saving contraptions. So where is my flippin' time going, I'm supposed to be "saving" so much time by having a washing machine, cellular phone, toaster oven, dingle hopper (wait.. that's The Little Mermaid, I forget I'm not her sometimes)
So here's my question, why do we NOT have enough time and why are we so stressed!? I'll tell you something about myself, as I sat in my car the other day so flustered, wet armpits and all, I couldn't help but wonder, why are my "time" priorities not set straight? I can go on face book and lose myself for HOURS (disgusting I know) but when I could take my time to not be in such a "hurry" going from my house to my car, I choose to be in a big'ol hurry. I'm sure this is just me and no one else ever experiences any frustration about their time or stress but I needed to vent. ;)
For me, it's helped so much to focus on God and let HIM be in control of my time. He doesn't see time as we do. When I get frustrated that my time is being robbed, I surrender myself to God because I know that I can't do it alone. I hope you guys are having a super blessed night! I love you all of you so much!!
Stay blessed and stay saucy!
