Too many things at once

Today I wrote an amazing, insightful post.  One about the power of letting our kids be bored.  It had some real jewels in it, and I was proud.  But at the same time I was getting ready to publish it, I was doing a few other things.  I was answering a call from my daughter’s friend’s Mom arranging a play date, I was chatting with a dear friend about our plan for the weekend to coordinate our kids schedules, and checking an email from work regarding a grant I was giving and which area would be our most crucial place to give.  I also was thinking through my day and the groceries I needed to run and get and the birthday gifts for the weekend’s parties.  All this, and I had to run and get my daughter out of school to go to a mid day therapy appointment in about 15 minutes.

My sister had warned me about this.  She had told me not a day before, to turn off my phone, and to write.  To devote an hour each day to writing my posts and building my blog.  We literally just had the conversation.  So what did I do, but the opposite of that.  Thinking I had it all together and could juggle and post at one time, I inadvertently erased my beautiful words.  I multi- tasked myself into losing a piece of writing I had worked hard on and was proud of.
