Hypothetical

Growing up we had a book of hypothetical questions. No right or wrong answers, more like a list of topics to start conversations. I remember one question being:

If you could take a pill so that  you could feel totally refreshed for 24 hours after only one hour of sleep, would you take it?

At the time, I remember my answer being something like, "No, I love to sleep and dream in my cozy bed, and quite frankly, what would I do with all that time."

Fast forward 30 years and my answer is "Yes, absolutely."

I remember my Mom always saying that there weren't enough hours in the day...it's true. Especially as a Mommy who works full time, PLUS everything else I want to do: sew, clean, organize, cook, bake, balance household budgets, be a wife, be a mom, have another baby, learn to knit, volunteer, work out, do yoga, run, laundry, start a business, start another business, learn how to build a website, blog, keep the job I have....and enjoy a glass of wine...

Sleep gets in the way. Mom was right, there aren't enough hours.
