I love the part about the magnolia tree. I feel the same way about my peonies and for the first time this year, was not away on business during their ‘bursting’ stage. Finding time to watch things like that happen (a flower literally blooming) is an indicator of good time management; I think it is at least 🙂

I’ve spent the past year trying to tell myself I don’t NEED a housekeeper to come 1-2x/month.

But I really hate the constant cleaning and scrubbing and time it just takes to deep clean everything properly-between that and lab and so.much.writing, I barely have time for hobbies. And, there is so much judgement from my classmates-most of whom are partnered up with people who help shoulder the housework.

I think I might bite the bullet and do it-especially after the parental units pointed out that I am going to only have more demands on my time as I go back to med school and on to residency.

I saw an inforgraph the other day that was talking about what successful don’t do on weekends. The big one was housework. I am between housekeepers. The need in my area exceeds the available workforce so I don’t see this changing anytime soon. I do wish I could devise a system that keeps my weekends clear. I’ve time logged and know that during the school year I average 50-55 work hours per week (whoever said teaching was a family friendly career was mistaken.) With summer approaching, I will become a WAH, but that won’t solve my problem come August.
