It’s About Time

Here’s the question of the week, If Molly is all kinds of crafty, thin (Because she is working out), Pretty (Because she takes time to do her hair and Shower), an Excellent House Keeper, Service oriented, teaching and taking care of her children….etc..etc. When does she ever have time for friends? I mean when she gets together with friends, is she actually doing something else at the same time? Like does she bake cookies with her friends only to take them to the widow on her way home, does she make her friends work out with her when they come for a visit? For craft day does she insist everyone make their own relief society handouts? Does that distracted look in her eyes when you are talking to her mean she is actually writing her shopping list or reviewing her relief society lesson in her head, at the same time? I mean I’m all about multi-tasking, I’ve become quite good at washing the dishes and talking on the phone, (although I’m still wondering when this kink in my neck will go away) and I can watch my kids at the park and visit at the same time. But really? Who has time for lunch with friends anymore? And am I being an awful friend if I can’t spare the time to just hang out and chat? What if I do go and think about the many things I still have to get done while visiting with my friends? Will they notice and get mad? Honestly, I’m beginning to think that the only time a mom can justify hanging out with friends is when she is doing her visiting teaching. Lucky is the woman who gets to visit teach her best friends! Because I’m just lucky if I can catch a shower these days.
