The value of time

One thing motherhood has taught me is the value of time.

Yesterday I went to aerobics (thanks to Jill for baby-sitting the boys). As is often the case, several people arrived 25 minutes early for the next class. They sat on the bleachers and watched us do the last 25 minutes of our class. As I was exercising I was thinking what I would be doing if I was 25 whole minutes early - I would have a book in hand to read, I would have my knitting to work on... or maybe I'd just lay down on the bleachers and take a quick nap --- but I DEFINITELY would not have sat on the bleachers doing nothing for 25 minutes. Just not a luxury mothers have.
