I know I’m busy when I bounce out of bed at 5:00am on a Sunday morning, with a feeling that I’m late for something important.
I know I’m busy when a quiet movie night at home becomes the highlight of my week.
I know I’m busy when I can’t for the life of me remember what year we’re in. How old am I again?
I know I’m busy when my calendar begins to look as if a two year old randomly scribbled a bunch of chaotic marks across the page.
I know I’m busy when I make three large salads, just so that I can have lunch already made for two more days.
I know I’m busy when I forget about the broiler.
I know I’m busy. And yet, through it all, I know I am okay.
Because I actually kind of like early mornings, even on Sunday. My scribbled calendar secretly makes me happy. And larger than life salads never get old.
Oh. Yes. And I’m also okay with improvising.
QUESTION: Even when you’re in a time crunch, what is one thing that you refuse to give up? For me, it’s spending at least 15 minutes for breakfast. And going for at least three runs or walks a week. AND, spending at least half an hour at night to read in my book. 😀
Running To Slow Things Down 
I refuse to give up blog time!
Ditto what you said! A leisurely breakfast, a nice run or walk, and some read time is necessary. I will also never give up cooking!
Making time to eat well, for all meals and snacks 😉
Even when I’m busy I have to do the dishes! I can’t stand having dirty dishes in the sink.
I’m the same way! It’s a rare moment when I can feel okay about leaving dirty dishes in the sink. 😉
I refuse to give up at least a little bit of leisure time! Makes me feel sane, even if it requires extra hours of being awake 😉
Gotta have a nice sit-down dinner with my fiance and our roommate; there is nothing like winding down at the end of a long, busy, and stressful day with two wonderful people to talk and share a meal!
I refuse to have less that 30minutes of leisure time a day! And I so understand not knowing what year it is! On Friday I told someone I was 47…then corrected to 37. Then said wait…did the math and realized…oops…I am 36!!! That’s bad!!!
I totally agree with taking the time for breakfast and every meal for that matter. I get digestion and simply just don’t enjoy eating otherwise which is a crime! 😛
I just can’t understand the people who get “too busy” or “forget” to eat. Just doesn’t make sense!
