It's true that time is an arbitrary construct that humans have invented... a way of measuring, dividing, analysing, describing.... a way to put the PRESSURE on when you are trying to get somewhere 'on-time' or meet a deadline, etc. etc.
Time does take on a whole new meaning when you have kids.... Suddenly time needs to be mega-flexible!!! Young kids have no clue about time whatsoever - and trying to do things at particular times becomes rather difficult..
Time can go super-fast or super-slow...
I remember when I was a new mum, time would seem to be VERY slow! I felt like I had done so much entertaining: nursery-rhyme singing, playing with toys, clapping hands (not to meantion cleaning, feeding, etc) - and I would look at the clock surprised that it was not yet even 8am!!
Today I have my two children in childcare together for the first time ever... which gives me 5 hours to myself.... And of course it has gone SUPER FAST!!!!!!!! I think I blinked and three hours went by!
I have less than an hour left now - and I am looking around the house in bewilderment: it is messier than usual, there are several chores that I have started but not gotten far into... and that long, lovely list of things I really want to do whenever I get some time for me... I can't even find that!!!
Hmmm... maybe next Friday I will be able to use my time a bit more productively...
Hope so!
