The Wilhelm Family: Time....

Sometimes we wish there was more time in a day. So many things to do...things we need to do and want to do. Seems like we got the best of both yesterday.

Sleep in until your eyes open. As an adult, my eyes open much earlier than I want them too.
Watch TV with your kids..because soon they will have left the nest and you'll be watching alone.
Baseball practice for Matthew followed by Subway lunch and shopping at Wal-Mart.
Taking the Prius in for repair and having it ready to pick up before the end of the day!
Cooking Chicken Crescents with your daughter, it's fun and they are so delicious!
Deciding at dinner to go see Alice in Wonderland together at 9:40pm. We all liked it!
Getting the zipper in your prom dress.
Doing laundry, paying bills and meeting deadlines for financial aid applications.

Today I wasted a couple of hours. My doctor's appointment for a second opinion on my aching feet was at 1030. I was on the road to Grand Rapids by 9:45am and got there on schedule, only to find a waiting room packed with people and a line to check in. When I got to the desk, the lady said my doctor was running 1 hour and 20 minutes behind schedule! I decided to reschedule. Waiting till almost noon to get in, then however long the visit, I just wasn't willing to be packed in there with all those other people. I had nothing to do either, read or paperwork. So I made a new appointment in another 2 weeks and drove 45 minutes back home. I made a good decision, kids will be in school in two weeks and I won't miss time with them.

Mary's dress is almost complete. The zipper went in easily and now she is putting the final touches on...hook and eyes, and hemming. I am so proud of Mary, she did a really nice job on the dress, and will be beautiful in it. We took it to quilting and tried it on. They all liked it very much too. What a great feeling to know your prom dress is ready in plenty of time!

Time can be punching a clock. Mary got her hours for McDonald's today. Her first day is Monday 5-9 pm, then Wednesday and Thursday at the same time. Tuesday she will put in hours at Jimmy's $$$. Guess her bank account should start growing! She owes me some money. I allow payments so she can have spending and saving money too. Aren't I nice???

After holiday specials means time for great buys. All the Easter candy was 50% off at Wal Mart, so after consulting with Sarah, I went and bought her a GIANT EASTER BUNNY! Officially he is a Big Binks, cute and delicious! I will be glad to help her eat him up!

Showtimes! Matthew really wanted to see Clash of the Titans in 3D. The last "cheap" showtime was 4:55pm. Jeff and I have orchesta tonight, so Mary and Matthew are having brother and sister time. I hope they have fun. I know that I don't need to be in the midst of a war between gods and titans!

Time for me to get to work....
