10 Things I’d Do for Myself If I Had More Time

10 Things I'd Do for Myself If I Had More TimeGet Pregnant Fast

Ah, the never-ending quest for time. As we all know, time seems to slip through our fingers like sand, especially when you’re juggling the demands of motherhood. It’s a chaotic whirlwind of responsibilities that can leave little room for self-indulgence. If only I could rewind to the days when I could freely choose my activities without feeling like I was neglecting my duties. Here’s a list of ten things I would relish if time were on my side:

  1. Dive Into a Good Book
    I miss the days of immersing myself in a novel that’s not geared toward children. I crave a good old-fashioned book filled with rich storytelling and adult themes, where I could disappear for hours, completely absorbed in the plot, forgetting about everything else—even meals.
  2. Tame My Eyebrows
    Let’s be honest: the situation above my eyes is dire. I can spot what looks like two furry creatures from a distance. A professional wax could do wonders, but alas, my schedule is booked solid.
  3. Binge-Watch a Series
    Sure, I could indulge in a Netflix marathon, but the aftermath of a late-night viewing session, only to be greeted by little ones at dawn, is not my idea of fun. So, the remote stays untouched.
  4. Enjoy a Leisurely Brunch with Friends
    I long for those carefree brunches with friends—mimosas flowing, laughter echoing, and no one watching the clock. Now, my excursions are limited by the needs of my kids and the chaos that awaits me at home.
  5. Take a Solo Stroll
    I used to relish long walks without a destination, just to clear my mind. Nowadays, my day is meticulously scheduled, and the concept of wandering freely feels like a distant memory lost in the haze of motherhood.
  6. Explore a New Hobby
    Learning something new is supposed to be enriching, yet I find myself unable to pick up a paintbrush or pursue voice lessons. The time spent on hobbies seems to pale in comparison to the urgent tasks that demand my attention—like cleaning up after my kids.
  7. Get Lost in the Internet
    Ah, the rabbit holes of the internet. One moment, I’m researching how to clean my kitchen, and the next, I’m knee-deep in celebrity gossip. Those hours have become a luxury I can no longer afford when there’s laundry to fold or meals to prepare.
  8. Whip Up a Fancy Dinner
    Planning a gourmet meal for my partner sounds delightful, but between work and parenting, who has the time? My culinary aspirations are usually limited to quick, simple recipes that can be made in 30 minutes or less.
  9. Reconnect with Long-Distance Friends
    I truly miss my old friends, yet staying connected through social media just isn’t the same. A leisurely phone call would be nice, but kids have a knack for finding trouble at the most inopportune moments.
  10. Contemplate My Life’s Direction
    Honestly, there has to be more to life than just work and raising kids. What’s my greater purpose? What legacy will I leave behind? These profound questions often get drowned out by the sound of the oven timer going off while I’m pondering them.

Someday, when my children are grown and independent, I’ll revisit these dreams. For now, I’ll tuck this list away as a gentle reminder of what’s to come.
