Secret to longer days revealed

I have found the secret to making your day longer. Spend it with an 18 month old. AJ and I got up at 6:30 AM and after a little milk and highly caffenated coffee for Linda we watched a little Disney channel, read all about Dora going to the dentist, (6 times), and Elmo taking a bath, (3 times), and then we played chase the ball down the hall (18 times), and then we ate breakfast with grandpa and sent him off to the office and then AJ took a bath, splashing water all over the big jacuzzi tub and then....it was 8:30. After another 100 different activities I looked at the clock thinking it must be time for lunch but it was only 11AM!!! At that point I decided it was time to brush my teeth... and get out of my jammies. Yes I do remember these days with John, Jessica and Mike, but I was lots younger than. How did we ever get anything done? More importantly how did we survive? Steve and John took off for Columbus around noon and after lunch AJ and Linda took an afternoon nap. In my days of motherhood that must have been when the house got cleaned, the laundry was done, the bills were paid, grocery shopping was done, and we exercised and took care of ourselves. We were GOOD to get all that done in the period of a 2 hour nap period. I started writing this while AJ was watching TV this morning and I guess I will get it finished and posted finally while Mike is playing hide and seek with AJ before we get him into his jammies. Then it will be off to bed to get ready for another busy, but long day. I sure wish I could bottle up some of that 18 month old energy!
