I've always thought it was interesting when I'd talk to an elderly person and they'd tell me about what they had going on. I had an 84 year old friend in Middletown who used to tell me how crazy her week was.
"I've got a doctor's appointment on Thursday and then I'm expecting a package on Saturday...and if that wasn't enough, I'm going out to lunch next Monday"
I just always thought it was funny how busy they felt when they had maybe 3 or 4 things going on in one week.
This was my week. I've been home with the kids since Monday morning and found myself thinking that today was the big day because I have a doctor's appointment at 1:30. I really was thinking through what my day was like and how it revolved around this one thing I had to do.
I've said a few times that I know plenty of people who aren't that busy, but don't know anyone who doesn't think they're busy....and now I know why.
