Time Conundrum

I feel very time-poor. I am not sure how that comes to be. I have only one job and I don't have to commute. I have 3 kids that are pretty independent. They've been making their own lunches and packing themselves up and getting ready for camp and/or work without any input from me. 

I drive them places (camp pick-up/drop-off, occasional dive practices, music lessons, and sometimes work or cross-country practices - although E has been biking most of the time) - but that can't account for the time sink-hole that seems to be taking over my life.

It's like I don't have time to cook! Or to read! And I always feel behind at work, and with cleaning, and forget gardening - those poor little plants have been left to fend for themselves. We haven't played any family board games or started any puzzles! We barely sit down for meals as a family.

I am not sure if I am just so disorganized... or if I am experiencing some weird time-related quantum phenomena.. or if some things are just taking longer than they should. Or maybe my brain capacity has diminished to dangerous levels and I am just not able to keep up with anything. Or maybe I am "loosing time" like a character in one of those thrillers, where nothing is as it seems and they are really going through a psychotic episode (I'd rather not...)

Today was like this:

Get up, get dressed, check news/email, make breakfast, eat breakfast (while reading a book for a couple of minutes), drive H+C to their camps*, work, have a snack, work, eat lunch and chat with E (he made ramen and I cut up a tomato), work, throw towels into the dryer, make a phone call, pick up H+C, work, take H to dive practice (pick up a few things at the store while waiting for her), drive home, help C with cello, eat dinner, work, watch Schitt's Creek, shop for gifts and necessities on-line, write blog.

Notice what didn't get done: no baking bread, no making beet soup, no gardening, no exercising, no games, no painting hallway, no work on the laundry room, no cleaning, no dishes.

*They are at 2 different camps this week, but the camps are nearby... However, there is road work, so the most direct route is closed, adding  at least 10 minutes to the drop off/pick up time.

Do you sometimes feel like time bandits are stealing chunks of your day?
