I ignored him, and fortunately he shut up. The 2-year-old started shrieking at 4 a.m. We made it home at 10 p.m., the kids were showered and in bed by 10:30, and then my husband and I had dessert together. It was kind of a long drive, but we had a really good time on the dance floor. Later on Sunday, we took the 3 big kids to Nanuet NY for a friend’s kid’s Bar Mitzvah. There were bubbles and hot dogs and all was mostly good except the 5-year-old’s balloon animal popped (in just a small part! It was actually still functional) and she screamed and threw a temper tantrum that was so over the top I heard some other kid ask her mom “Why is she being so bad?” The mother shushed her child.
S’mores! On Sunday we went to church for “Rally Day,” which is the Presbyterian thing where kids move up to the next Sunday school class. We grilled steaks on Saturday night, my husband and daughter made an apple pie, and then we lit a fire in our fire pit after the 2-year-old went to sleep. Any wonder is not wonder enough if anyone else has just a little bit more!). One child got to sit in the front of the fire truck, and the others did not, and the others that did not were SO UPSET about their brother getting the front seat that one child claimed the fire truck was a least favorite part of the weekend, even though getting to ride on a fire truck is objectively awesome. The kids had fun at a little petting zoo, and getting to ride the firetrucks (well, sort of. We had sort of forgotten that was this weekend, but decided to go on Saturday. We had a pretty full weekend: date night dinner at Cerise on Friday, where the chef (a friend) told us that he had spent all day prepping for Bryn Mawr Day (a local festival). Since it’s still pretty early on Monday, not too much has happened. If you’d like to figure out where the time really goes, this could be a great opportunity. Several hundred of us will be tracking our time this week. After all, how can you spend your time better if you don’t know how you’re spending it now? We all have blindspots on time (more on mine below!) As for a time tracking challenge, I know that many people ( “obligers”) like to know that other people are paying attention and counting on them to do something.
Time tracking is tremendously useful to the cause of time management.
Or pay your very own Boswell to take notes for you? Or just walk around with a little notebook if you want to look all artsy. You can also use any commercial time tracking app (e.g. If you need a time log, you can download one ( Excel or PDF 30- or 15-minute versions) here. For those of you tracking time this week, welcome! The 168 Hours Time Tracking Challenge starts this morning (use that link to get daily emails from me).
