How To Slow Down Time

Have you ever looked at the clock and thirty minutes have gone by when it only feels like three?  Or you can't believe it's the afternoon because it seems like you just got out of the shower?  Or the deadline for that project is coming up and you have far more to do than time in which to do it?  Never fear, I've discovered how to slow down time -- put something in the microwave. 

Two minutes seems like such a short time.  I stick the bowl to warm in the microwave and start the two minutes.  Then I get some things done while I wait for the dish to heat up.  I'll put the dishes in the dishwasher, take some clean clothes into the bedroom for folding, get a drink from the refrigerator, ask my husband a question and then look over at the microwave, only to find there's still forty eight seconds left.  It happens all the time.  I know I'm not that efficient or fast because when the microwave isn't on, the day goes by so fast and I still have things to do.

So, I've got an idea for an invention.  All we need is some item we can put in the microwave that won't melt or explode.  Then, when you need a little extra time, you can put the microwave on for an hour or two thus allowing you to get seven or eight hours of work accomplished.  Now that would be a good invention.

The Big Boy Update:  Back in track pants.   He's looking so slim these days.  People are commenting on how he's not nearly as fat as he was a few months ago.  He's growing tall too.  His current track pants are getting too short so I got some new ones yesterday.  Today he looked both comfortable and stylish.  Not to mention fit and trim.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  Two nights now she's slept with her mittens on.  She's not been nearly as upset as I thought she would be considering she's being denied access to her hands for sucking.  She's still trying during the day.  Whenever she goes for her fingers it means it's time for more food.  She's also eating fairly well too.   She's a good girl.
