There is one thing that I have found as of late, okay, more than one thing but for now we shall focus on one. With having four children ages 9 to almost 3 months you have to learn to do things a little different. The word multi tasking takes on a whole new meaning.
Most women are known for having good multi tasking skills and why not, I mean if I am going to be able to get anything done (such as posting to this blog, yep eating lunch in between typing) I have to do multiple things at once. Have you ever asked yourself ..."What all can I do while feeding my baby a bottle"? or "What all can I pick up on the way to throw the diaper away"? Wait, you haven't asked yourself those questions, well I am sure the questions will vary from person to person. If you are the mother to four kids, one being a baby, you will ask yourself those and many more.
As of late I have learned to incorporate my exercise routine into whatever it is that I need to do. So if I have a fussy baby Jeremiah, then I will rock him while doing some side lunges, or some squats. If it's time to have some one on one time with Hannah we turn up the music and do some dancing. You get the idea. But of course like everything there has to be balance. There are times that I cannot and should not do three things at once ( I would give examples but I am sure you have already thought of some).
There are times that my husband need my attention, all of my attention. There are times that my kids needs my attention, all of my attention. While I can pray as I drive my car somewhere or as I fold clothes etc. there are times that I need to have all my attention focused on seeking the Lord.
Maybe a better title would be the art of balancing multi tasking :) We live busy lives, I am learning the things that I need to busy myself with and what I don't. After all time is precious. Speaking of time, mine is up for now. I pray you are each blessed today. Till next time.....
