I wanted to be here on mylot this weekend and we had friends , groups of them visiting us. First three of my friends came home.. it was a planned visit as we planned it a month ago. They were to come home for a couple of hours but they hung around until dinner time. Then my husband brings home a colleague of his, whom he met while he was on one of his weekend errands. A bunch of young men, my son's fiends decided to descend upon us and spend almost the whole of Sunday in our home. All my plans and errands that had to be done this last weekend was blown in the wind. Its seem every weekend gets busier than the other.. Time seem to fly past me.. Today I am stuck with so much cleaning up from the weekend and loads of work to be done... I wanted to watch a play on Saturday last and now I will have to wait for it to be staged at a another venue in October. I was a bit disappointed.. but then life happens between our plans. Where does time go?? Do you ever feel this way?

I didn't really have plans over the weekend so when my husband's friends called up and said they wanted to hang around our house I stopped myLotting and started straightening out the house a bit...

@sofssu Some people develop the potential to defeat time.Your uncle is one of them.He's unfazed even at the age of 93.He deserves a salute.

Certainly our plans can be changed for us sometimes. But it is nice that you all have friends and friends are much more important than cleaning or even MyLot.

I often feel that way. It seems time passes so quickly. I often wonder where it goes. You think you have lots of time to do something and then the time is here and gone. Seems the older I get the faster it goes.

It depends on two things... if you are working or engrossed in some activities then surely time will fly by fast.. else if you have no work and lazying around then those 5 mins feels like an hour.

Life doesn't always go as planned and i feel the same way. I tend to want to do things on the weekends then other things happen and things don't work out. I hope you can get caught up on what you had planned and cleaning etc.

Indeed life happens between our plan. I understand that feeling. Tomorrow I might not be here because I am hosting a baby shower party for a niece. It was not in my plan Her Mom just called me today to do that. Just imagine that she did not even give me the chance to do it some other day.

@sofssu Yes too short notice but I agreed because the mother will prepare most of the stuff anyway. I just have to take care of decoration and the program as well. If I have time, I will try to prepare some salads too.

@salonga Oh wow .. what kind of a demand is that? I am surprised that you agreed at such short notice. I hope the mother arranges most of the stuff herself.

@SIMPLYD Waiting is okay.. but the sound effects may not be as good.. That is better than not watching the play at all.

@SIMPLYD I was happy that the play is being staged at another venue.. My older son called me to tell me that.. I would have been really upset to have missed the play.. Waited for a year.

Oh I can say surely Yes. We planned our schedules. But the visitors don't know about it. They express the additional joy with our company.

@shshiju Hopefully the understand.. I was able to put off one visit this week .. we have so many things going on at home and having a guest now would be a total inconvenience.

@shshiju I never say no to anyone who wants to spend time with me.. that is actually my problem.

Time moves swifter and swifter as you grow older. Today is Monday and in the blink of an eye you will be saying it's Friday already?
