Why aren't there 48 hours in a day...

...and why do our bodies require so much damn sleep?  Especially my lazy, imperfect body?

I have so much to do.  I am being pulled in so many directions right now, I don't know whether I'm coming, going or sleepwalking.

More than once I have fantasized of acquiring a superpower wherein I could lie down for 2-3 hours max, then leap out of bed, refreshed and ready to tackle the day.  Oh, the things I would accomplish!

Barring that, may "they" please get this cloning thing truly underway, so that I am afforded the opportunity to bark orders to two or three maxi-me's in order to get it all done with ease?

Don't think it has escaped my notice that I don't even have children.  I can't fathom trying to fit them in along with all of the other crap.  A little, fluffy meow-child is about all I have the time or energy for.

Well, as Scarlet so aptly noted, tomorrow IS another day.

  1. Somehow, our perception of how busy we are never seems to change. I remember my dad saying "I don't have time for that" and my hubby and I would think "You're retired, what do you mean you don't have time?" Now we often look at one another and say "We're retired, we don't have time to work in everything we want to do this week!"

  2. So true, Judy. I vividly recall, as a snot-nosed teen, complaining about how bored I was, and my parent's laughing as they said "Oh, to be bored again." :)
