Had a great time this week connecting with some friends. I am truly grateful for all the friends that God has brought into my life over the years. One of my friends that I've known since I was a teenager moved back from Oregon recently and hanging out with her is like hanging out with family. Another new friend that I got to hang with this week blessed me tremendously with new ideas and a fresh way to look at some things in my life.
Then I had a question for all you bloggers that I think will be kinda fun. I am a person who loves to have people around 24/7. Maybe that's why I have 4 children. Anyway, even if I am not necessarily doing anything with them but just living my life, I just enjoy sharing my life with others. BUT part of being a person who loves to have others persons around 24/7 is that I have really crappy time-management skills. I would rather just sit and chit chat or play with kids then do the things in life that need to be done.
SO here's the question: Can you be a person who has both good time manangment skills as well as good people skills at the same time??
This is a honest question because to me I don't see how you can. I would rather say no to the clock and pretend that it's not there than say no to a person who might need something or my kids who just want to play.
I need better time-management skills. I think that the two are somewhat related. What do you all think?? Maybe, it's a matter of priorities. Priority to me are the people in my life.

hubby is like you, would rather just hang out with friends & family than do the stuff. he is pretty weak in the time management department, but he is working on it.
i,on the other hand, am not always so people friendly. i need to get the stuff done, on time. i am working on this also.
we are usually the last few people out of the church because he is still chatting. i am thinking about all the stuff we have to do before going home.
we compliment each other, when it isn't causing dissention.
I think you can do both, but one probably will come naturally (for you, the friends) and the other will come through discipline and practice (the organization and responsibility part).
thanks gals, i'm working on it. not really right now i am exhibiting terrible time-mang as i should be doing house work instead of bloggin.
