Show B2 CLIPPER TODAY SEPTEMBER 23, 1999 THURSDAY, Lifestyles nSa iM BY ELSIE M. HAUL Clipper Today Correspondent When does life slow down? How, I ask you, am I supposed to paint cupboards, unpack boxes, write a column, referee Jared and Amanda's sibling battles, keep my baby happy and myself too? I consider it a treat to take an uninterrupted shower-even if it is during Natalie's afternoon nap. When does life slow down? When I was in college, I dreamed of care-fre- e evenings without homework and term papers. Surety I thought, I'll have more free time when I'm done with school. What was I thinking? I lived at home. Mom cooked my meals, paid the bills and cleaned the house. I helped out with a few things, but, looking back, they didn't amount to much. Now its my turn to cook the meals, pay the bills and clean the house. And actually, I haven't been doing much cleaning. When Amanda wants me to read her a book, it's hard to say, Sorry, Dear. I need to clean toilets. Good thing she likes to help with the laundry, or it might not get done either. Then theres my husband. I hardly see him. Alone, that is.

Tune. It keeps coming back to time. Why does it seem like some peo- ple have more time than others? Weve all been given the same amount. Why is it that it is never seems to be enough? As a parent, it's difficult to find a balance between time spent with family and time spent on household including work. responsibilities That's what I'm struggling with. And I'm finding that it helps to stop. Think. Evaluate what is and is not important. Ask what will matter in the long run. Should I have saved the cupboard painting until after we were fully moved in? Yes. Could I get up an hour earlier to work on the computer? I think so. And about the cleaning chores, is it possible to recruit help from the kids? Well see. How do you balance your time budget? Do you haw any secrets for finding more time for family?
