Tick-Tock...."How Does She Do It"

   "There are never enough hours in a day" ~Every Mother In The World~
           "How does she do it?" ~Every person watching a Mother~

We have all heard this said before time and time again, I think every Mother in the world would agree that there never seems to be enough time in the day. Look were we are now the clock has tick-tock us along life so fast I think News Years has blown on in and delivered us 2012. The last movie I saw in 2011 was "How Does She Do It" with Sarah Jessica Parker..It focuses on Sarah's Character as a hard working mother of 2 trying to break her big deal in the business world and run a family at home with kids and sports, with bake sales, and of course giving her husband some time...rent it sometime its a good watch.
   This movie got me thinking about that very question, how do mothers-whether they be working or stay at home- pull off being Mommy, Wife, Daughter, Sister, Employee, Friend and still manage to be ourselves?  Of course you have to remember these are just what we are, each one comes with its own list of job duties. Have you ever wondered how they do it all? I have spent the good part of this new year trying to pay attention in my day to day activities to find my answer to this question.....Funny thing just yesterday I had a girlfriend say this very phrase to me yesterday on Facebook.    
   My answer to this question is double everything, I try to always be doing 2 things at the same time while thinking about the next step. Yes its multi-tasking, we all do it, and its the answer to our busy lives. We all have our titles we just need to double them all together, I am in need of a girls night for some friend time, and I have a sister in law starting a new house party venture...combine them together and host a party at my home for my sister and invite all my ladies :) ... Mom's Birthday coming up, use craft time to make fun loving home made cards. Your Husband wants to go out with the boys, send him on errand before he goes out. Kids want to go out for supper, have them help with groceries after supper out. Girlfriend wants to stop by for coffee, send the kids out to Friends to go sledding. Have a drink with a friend while helping her hem her curtains. Have 5 Christmas in one day, spread the present on a hunt over all the places you have to visit.
     We are always trying to make a busy life fit into a short time span, then leaving people wondering how we do it once we have pulled it off. We all know how busy it can be, we always hear Moms talk about how busy life is and how much they need to do, but here is the secret you don't hear, you find your me time...your little shot of happiness during your day to day activities, its in a smile from a st anger, its in the thanks from a friend you just helped, its from a kiss from your husband, a long conversation on the phone with your mom, its in the small moments in the day that your kids give you a hug just for doing all that you do. All these things fill us full, we might not get a moment to go to the bathroom and take a shower, but we have thousand of moments in a day with the people we care about, and isn't that all that matters, they are the ones we do it all for.
     The question is there enough time in the day?...Yes, you just have to learn to multi-task while seeing the blessings in your life at the same time.
     How do we do it?.....you just learn to mulit-task while seeing the blessings in your life at the same time.
   Make sure to thanks a Mother today :) they work harder then what you see!!
So raise you glasses high and give a cheers to all the mothers out there, who News Years Revolution or not will still organising and multi-tasking through the year!
