For starters...oh I hate to say this....I haven't been to line dance class in 4 months. Yeah, I know...how am I surviving, right?!?! I miss it. But it just never seems to fit into our schedule and I don't feel like it should take priority over some other things. Someday I will be able to get back into it.
Speaking of dance, I have always wanted to take adult dance lessons (not that kind)....and wouldn't you know it...Rylee's dance center has adult ballet and modern lessons! Woohoo!!! I finally get to take formal dance lessons!! Been wanting to do this for years!! But wait, it cuts into time with my husband one of the nights (which I don't get much of), and the other day it cuts into time that my husband needs to get items checked off the "honey do" list. Grr....someday. Someday, I will get to those dance lessons.
Fitness. I love a good work-out. I have a favorite right now....called PiYo...a blend of pilates and yoga. I look forward to my work-out almost every day. But, sometimes I can't fit it into my day because I have higher priorities. Someday, I will get to work-out every single day if I want to.
Reading. Oh I love reading. I love it so much, I just bought a new "reading chair"....off limits to anyone not holding a book ;) I haven't been able to do much of the type of reading I most enjoy (fiction and memoirs) because I've been reading so many reference type books that relate to all of the things I've been interested in lately. And even then I don't read near as much as I would like to, because reading takes away time from my kids....and I mean all of my time from my kids....I forget about them when I'm deep in a book...and will find them finger painting on the walls! Okay, that never happened...but it could, so I just decided to put the good books down for awhile. Someday. Someday, I will get back to reading more.
Photography as you all know is my newest, and most time-sucking interest. I have been reading a lot of articles, blogs and books on photography and taking my camera out for practice whenever I can. I have found it most efficient if I just bring my camera with me everywhere I go (like a good photographer should, right?) and take pictures anytime the mood strikes me. This has made my drives a lot longer than they should be....there are lots and lots of photographic moments when you are driving the back country roads! Even though I really want to take advantage of every learning opportunity I can, I have already had to say "no" to a couple of classes because they just don't fit into our schedule. I also usually have to miss the prime lighting times (sunrise and sunset) because I'm tending to kiddos. Someday, I will have more time to attend classes and take pictures when I want to.
My kiddos. Of course, they are my number one priority when planning my time. And there are so many things I want to take my kids to do, but half of them we usually have to pass up because there just isn't time for them, or not the best time for us.
Date nights. Hubby and I know that date nights are super important and we would love to have more of them, but planning a sitter and finding energy to have fun after a long day/week is sometimes more work than it's worth. Someday. Someday, we will go on dates regularly.
Friends. I have so many friends that I need to catch up with. There is nothing like good, uninterrupted time with friends. Unfortunately, I often put friends at the bottom of my list. Sad really. But someday, I will get to seeing my friends regularly.
Oh, someday. When is someday?? I hate to wish away time so that "someday" will arrive. I also understand that we shouldn't wait for "someday" to get here, because we aren't guaranteed another day of life. It's really important to take time for ourselves...we can't take care of others if we don't take care of ourselves, right? But, when you have a family they are just as important and sometimes we don't get to do everything we want to do because we put them before ourselves. But....when I figure out how to add more hours in a day....I will be able to do it all :) So far this week, I have found a new hour in the morning....it's before the kids get up. I get my work-out and shower in before I have to take care of priority #1.
Oh, did I mention my blogging....I would love to have more time to type more blog posts....but.....priorities. Speaking of priorities, THANK YOU for reading my blog instead of cooking supper for your family, or whatever else you should be doing right now :)
Happy Friday, Friends!
The "photography bug" is hitting this house hard
