Hansen 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 con-sider it a treat to take an uninterrupted uninterrupt-ed shower-even if it is during Natalie's afternoon nap. When does life slow down? When I was in college, I dreamed of carefree care-free evenings without homework and term papers. "Surely," 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 it's 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 bock, 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 there's my husband. I hardly see him. Alone, that is. Once the kids are tucked into bed, we part ways. Off he goes to hang cabinet doors or study for the heavy-duty professional test he'll be taking next month. I keep busy sorting through boxes or tackling must-do cleaning projects.

His future plans include a mission for the LDS Church and eventually entering the medical profession. since we've had a 'real' date. I'd feel sorry for myself, but I know that I'm not the only parent pulled in so many different directions. .1 talk with friends and neighbors who are swamped, too. Where, we wonder, won-der, does the time go? Time. It keeps coming back to time. Why does it seem like some people peo-ple have . more time than others? We're all given the same amount. Why is it that it 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 responsibilities-including work. 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? v 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? We'll see. How do you balance your time budget? Do you have any secrets for finding more time for family?
