Time for Me?

I have many passions and things that I would like to do but it seems I to never have time to do them.   I love to paint, draw, design, and even venture into sewing(yes, sewing would be a shock to my mother as she always believe I would never get interested!)  But with 2 children at home I barely find time to eat let along explore my passions.  Once I get one changed and fed, the other is asking for the same attention if not during but right after I take care of other.  Then it is a back-in-forth battle of giving my attention to one or the other. (It doesn't help that our newest addition, Lillian has colic)  To those parents who have had colicy children, it takes a lot of special grace to get through each day.  But when she smiles at her sister it warms my heart to see them bonding already.  Genevieve loves Lillian.  Whenever I lay Lillian on the ground for tummy time, Genevieve will lay next to her and say "see baby, see baby, see baby!"  Then if Lillian rolls her head to one side, Genevieve will get up and run to that side to be in her vision at all times.  It is so cute.  So, I guess my passions being put on hold for the time is ok as I enjoy seeing my children interact with each other.  But it would be nice to have alone time, even if it only came once a week for an hour.
