Then today came around. I was really behind on my lesson preparation. I slept in unusually late when I had planned on being up at five. I had visiting teaching to do. And I had planned to take Hyrum and Evie to the zoo with a few friends.
By the time I was leaving to visit, I knew I couldn't possibly go to the zoo and give my lesson material as much attention as it deserves.
9:48 am and I get home from visiting. No way can I sacrifice the morning for the zoo. Then I remember my resolution for 2011--balance. Remember?
What would be the best use of my morning--long term?
I may have forgotten my camera, but I passed the test.
Linking my T post up to Alphabe-Thursday.
I am planning on being up extremely late tonight. And I couldn't have spent my time better.
sounds like a good choice. . .hope you got a little bit of sleep:)
ReplyDeleteHurray!
ReplyDeleteI think you got it right...

Yay for Hyrum and Evie. I would have voted for the Zoo too! And that's pretty creative on the "T" post too! You came out a winner!~Ames
ReplyDeleteThose are the hard choices in the moment. But when we look back we can't beleive it was such a hard thing.

ReplyDeleteSounds like it was a most productive day! Good for you.
ReplyDeleteI just read your "about me" in your sidebar.......tonight it made me totally laugh.
Excellent Jen! I recognize the crazy feeling of not being able to do it all, but I wish many times I could go back and redo choices I made that were not the best for the long haul. Nothing is more important than your family. Nothing. Good post. And I bet your lesson went just fine.
ReplyDeleteOoh I like to visit zoo...We can have lot of fun there....Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteVrinda.
Enjoyed this tremendously. I am going to have to remember this T party next time I am babysitting for my nieces. They would have a blast planing a meal of all one letter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for signing up to follow my blog. I so appreciate everyone that takes the time stop by occasionally.
Love your Tea party.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice of the zoo.
It's the moments that slip away with mundane chores that don't really count in the long run, that are the saddest!
Thanks for a thoughtful and terrific link to Alphabe-Thursday's letter "T".
