The hurrier I go

May 23, 2016 · 😞 disappointed

Stayed home from work today to catch up on my to-do list. Spent all day doing laundry, vacuuming, and scheduling our family’s summer calendar. Did not have time for any of the bugbears which have been sitting on the list for weeks/months/years. #sisyphus

Well am I making haste or could it be haste is making me?
What’s time but a thing to kill or keep or buy or lose or live in?
I gotta go faster, keep up the pace
Just to stay in the human race

—Bad Religion, “Supersonic”

Me: “We’ll have that for breakfast tomorrow. Right now, please eat your dinner. You have blueberries, and edamame beans, and sugar snap peas, and grilled cheese, and doggies…”
Teddy: “I don’t have doggies.”
Me: “I know, I was being silly.”
Teddy: “You were being wrong.”

Of course! What was I thinking??
