The meaning of busy

For some time I did not understand when I would see people always ask the busiest people they knew to do something for them. One would always say that the busiest people will always get things done. I can somewhat relate to that now that I am unofficially working for a living. When I come home from the clinic I get Sara from school, get dinner on to cook, clean dishes from the previous day, wash a couple of loads of laundry, finish writing notes for patients, eat, take a shower, give Sara a shower, and get ready for the next day.

When all I had to worry about was going to class, I couldn't manage to get all of this completed in one day. Now I have the energy and moreso the need to get it all finished before I can go to bed.

Maybe one day I'll make a habit or routine of it and have a spotless house. Now I am just working on keeping it live-able and having enough clean laundry for the family!

At any rate, I am truly grateful that I have the ability to do this for myself and am proud that I am actually doing it. Thank goodness I don't have a husband that nags or makes it a necessity to have a spotless house, but I have found that we have much less contention when the house is clean(er) and he has a full tummy.
