Multitasking

As a mom, I need to multitask...all the time.

Sometimes I think the cumulative effect of almost 5 years of doing this, has left me with a very short attention span (I think about this whenever I sit down to do my school work).

"A series of unfinished conversations" is how I like to describe some of my friendships with other moms of young kids. I just never seem to be able to finish a sentence when I talk with them as our kids play.

It's easy to frame this as a necessity, as something that I need to do, that moms have to do during this season of life. I've been wondering though if more of what I need to do is to live more fully in the present, in the moment, in the particular time, space, and task.
