Lately I feel like I have a pretty good grip on balance in my life.
I have time for blogging, work, quilting, the kids, and the husband (in no order of importance).
But there is always more I want to do (or need to do).
So, if there was some way I could get a few extra hours on the clock.
I would take them.
And what would I do with those hours?
Well, here’s my answer:
If the Key Lime Martini and the S’mores Martini looked good, be sure to check them out on my other blog.
What would you drink, I mean do, if you had a few more hours in the day?

I love it – nap with your apple products. I would probably use my extra hours to read more books. I never seem to be able to find much time to read books anymore! That seems boring…ok, a glass of wine & read a book.
I have been reading books lately while I’m on the elliptical. It takes 50 times as long to finish a book but at least I’m getting some reading done.

Those both look wondrously delicious.
I need more time to read and comment on blogs. I seem never be able to catch up on my reader.

I think napping would take up my whole 2 hours. It would be worth it.

I agree.
Probably read more. I love it but there always seems to be so much going on during the day with the kids. Basically I just need to manage my time better.

I think it’s hard to find time to read when the kids are running around. I usually get about 15 minutes in with my book when I’m on the elliptical but that’s even hard because my toddler is always asking me questions.
Mmmm. Martinis. Those look scrumptious.

Ok, well Law & order would be on in the background. LOL
You know I’d love more time *and energy* to write good and readable. So write, nap and watch Law & Order.
I like your hair curly..it’s pretty

I would probably have some better blog posts if I had more time to write. Maybe one day.
And thanks on the hair. This was when I tried some beach curls.

I say that’s a perfect plan for a few more hours!

With all of your projects I think you deserve a few extra hours each day. I think I’d use them to nap. Or exercise. I can never find enough time for that.
You could exercise for 30 minutes, shower quickly and then nap for almost an hour and a half.

Napping with apple products…AWESOME! I’d probably waste any extra hours if there were any to be had that is.

I’m sure there would be days that I would waste some of my hours too.

You lost me at ‘pretty good grip on balance’ …
But I heart you and your fluffy hair!

I’m sure my good grip on balance is fake and that I’ll regret saying it in a few days.
I would sleep. And read. And do things for ME.

Sleep, hands down.
I used to be such a baby about it, and was grumpy after a couple nights with only 7 hours. CLEARLY this was pre-kids.
Now I am so perpetually sleep-deprived, I can only imagine what I could accomplish with a full night’s rest!
Sharon {Grumpy, Sleepy, and Bashful} recently posted..A Pretty Girl In A Tiny Gown
I can’t imagine what I would do with more than 5 hours of sleep a night.
What is sleep? My son seems to be awake all the time.

No question: Sleep. I require 8 hours. No less. I know I certainly would not use it for cleaning.

Exercise at a normal hour, instead of 8pm. And read a magazine. I would stay away from my phone and all other iThings…lately, I just need a break
Practical Parenting recently posted..Slightly Imperfect Parenting
I know the feeling about needing a break. It’s why I’ve been slightly absent online lately.
I took the day off from social media yesterday. I sat outside. Chunky dug a giant hole while I ummmmmm…napped…sitting upright. chunky came up and said “Mamma, don’t sleep. You have to watch me play”…sure kid sure.
Anyways, I burnt the shit out of my face.
Kimberly recently posted..Feelings And Flowers
Haha my kid always stops my naps because she wants me to play with her.
Get some sunscreen or a hat next time. Face burns suck ass.

I would partake in your POM Martini and take a nap.
I just took my first nap (in like 8 years) yesterday…and it was fabulous.
Kelly recently posted..Needing Downtime
The POM martinis are fabulous. And so are naps.
I would love more hours in the day to just veg. From the minute my feet hit the ground, I am on the go. A few extra hours to just relax would be nice.
Tonya recently posted..Golden Slumbers
I would love some relaxing time too. If only we could get the extra hours.
