I wish I could wish for more time....

....... I really do. I would wish for uninterrupted time, not much, just an hour each day. Or better yet one whole day per week! Can you imagine? A whole day - the mind boggles! What to do with all that time? I wonder if I really would be all that productive if I didn't have the pressure to get things done in a certain (very small space) of time.  But really, this has me thinking of how I would use that elusive day per week. 

Would I sleep in? Maybe. Probably not if I knew it was only one day but definitely if it was a day each week! I'd make a nice breakfast and savour it all alone and read the weekend newspaper (even if it was from the previous weekend!) And then I would take a long look at my folder of Things To Make One Day, and find several new ideas to add to The List in my head (for the next day on my own).  

And then after all that quiet time I would find an interesting book or magazine and a nice sunny spot outside, or inside if the weather is dreary, and spend the rest of the time wasting it!!!  Well, I suppose it's not really wasting it but the reason I want more Time is so that I can get more of those things done that are not absolutely necessary. Like sewing and sketching, writing and ....ahem...reading! 

I am not liable to know for a few years yet what I would actually do with all that free time so I'm thinking that for the time being (no pun intended!) I am better off fitting in small bits here and there and no doubt getting more done!  

The reason for this reflection is that I pulled out a pile of fabrics and vintage patterns that I've accumulated from all that op shopping I do (ah but thats another post) and looked through them with the younger girls. And that was all we had time for .......... food needed preparing and lessons needed doing and life moved on.  

I love being Mum to many but sometimes, just sometimes, I really wish for a little more time.........!
