Fridays are my lightest day - and once a month, I made the habit to order Chinese food. We sit and eat sushi and noodles and chat. I covered a class, had a meeting, then went for a walk. Another thing I'm trying to do - to take back some time for myself - go for a walk on the school grounds once a day, 30 minutes. As my friends, and co-walker today said: time is the greatest athlete.
That was a generous way of putting it - I'm more afraid that time is my master. Time with kids. Time to do work. Time to sleep. Time to devote to projects small and time to devote each day to those long term goals. Time to think - to get these priorities straight.
I came home and brought all three kids downstairs. We brought Tuana's roller horse downstairs and Tomris's bike. Teoman rode the bike and Tomris had a backpack loaded with toys. They both had it in their mind to explore the community. And Tuana was making sure to keep up - whether it be by crawling, calling, or demanding to be carried and pointing to her sibling's trail.
I hope I always make time for this.
