I used to be LATE for everything
Apr 01, 2014
Yes, it's a huge character flaw & I'm not proud to admit it but I used to be late for just about everything. I am just sitting here thinking of all the ways my life has changed so far since my recent VSG surgery for the better & realized how much time matters now, not that it didn't matter before because it did but from the moment I first wake up to get my daughter up & out the door for school I'm pretty much checking the clock most of the day. I am thankfully & blessedly no longer a part of the corporate rat race & relish & love being a stay-at-home Mom. I've never worked so hard in my life for no pay other than the occasional "thanks for all that you do for me Mom" - I've got a good kid who actually told me that yesterday.
As for the time aspect of things...I wake up drinking water then wait about 15-30 mins. & make a protein shake-I wait on those for 15 mins. because I like em really cold so I put it in the freezer for that amount of time. If I'm going to eat tuna or something I drink water first then wait 30 mins. then eat slowly wait another 30-40 mins. to drink something. Then pills, then wait, then vitamins, then wait then more vitamins. I don't know if I've ever set my cell phone alarm so often in my life. I'm not complaining I need this kind of structure time frame/time management to help me remember things. I don't eat at a set time yet as I'm sadly eating on my own around my family-meaning they eat different foods than me. My daughter loves my new healthy foods, salmon, some of the protein shakes, & even flipped out over some cauliflower cheese sticks I made on Sunday but my husband...eh not so much. He & I were both born & bred on Southern Soul food & both our Mamma's can cook like chef angels.
Time matters a lot more to me now than it once did, I felt as though time stood still before surgery & that my life was on hold but now I'm looking so forward to all the fun times I've yet to have.
