It seems totally ironic to me that these days, I count the fortunate days as the ones that I don't have to use the car. If the car does not leave the garage in 1 or 2 days I feel this is a real bonus.
Living where we do, it is at least a 10-15 km drive to shopping centres, schools and further to social events. The car is used a lot on the weekend, but during the week I am happy for it to sit in the garage.
So why is it, that I am always watching the clock and that the day just rushes by!? I know I am not alone in this, and that the stay at home workforce always has a lot on the go. However, I have just shot myself down in flames with the first paragraph haven't I?
But there are just so many things to do. In my previous existence, I did have a busy career and know the benefit of time management. It's just that now (after almost 4 years) I am still just so thankful to be at home and enjoying my day, whatever that brings.
The trouble is - there are just so many blogs to read - especially about ways to save money and gardening and cooking and Labradoodles (check out the gorgeous Sophie ) and home life and the chances are if you are reading this - then I have probably read yours!

Luckily for me however, I found this gadget recently. I'm hoping that it will work a lot better for me than the kitchen timer method. Step away from the computer now.
Sorry there is not too much decluttering going on at the moment. Still a few things on ebay. I have been working on our family budget, trying to tweak the figures a little - and trying to justify my 'stay at home not in paid employment' existence.
Oh - and another sign of the times and the fact that the weather is cooling down ...... Dexter is nesting!

I also spend waaaaay to much time reading other peoples blogs! I need to use that handy little gadget myself.
On my days off I can usually be found pottering around our little farm, feeding chickens, pigs and ducks. Messing about with their bedding and chucking the used stuff around the orchard.
Then I annoy my horses for a while (still no riding yet) and come inside once the sun has a bit of bite to it.
Of course, then the blogtime begins.
So many blogs to enjoy, so little time!
Glad to see someone is on the same wave length!
Ha I think many of us are in the same boat.Hows that "time please" thing working for you?
Cool Gadget, I think I would just click it off though when it told me my time was up! I usually only get on my Blog here and there whenever I have a quiet moment....I would love to have more time to catch up with my favourite bloggers too...
Wendy, I watch the clock too! I have a job outside the house and actually watch the clock LESS there than I do at home. I'm not sure what that's about? I need to be more mindful of letting time go -- great post.
