clock watcher...

I can't bear not to know the time.
I wear a watch constantly - even to bed so that when I wake to feed Grace or check on one of the girls, I know what time it is. When we travel, I have two watches- one set on home time and the other on local time.
Odd, yes. Obsessed - not quite yet! (Although,since having children I think that my clock watching has possibly intensified.)
Now I find that I am drawing clocks - but for a good reason. A little project that has been keeping me busy as of late.

One day, I will be brave and foolhardy and leave my watch on the bedside table.
For one whole day, I will try to live without checking if it is time to do this or maybe time to do that. I'll just fly by the seat of my pants and let intuition guide me through the day. I'm sure we'll all still eat, sleep and play just the same as we always do. We might run late or we might arrive early. Will it matter in the least?
Perhaps, watch free, I won't feel like I am always running out of time, short of time and behind time....

I'm the total opposite now and never wear a watch - although I do normally have my mobile near me which has the time. My dad can always guess the time to within a few minutes if you asked him and I can often do it too. On the other hand I absolutely love clocks and would fill my house with them if I could so I am very interested to see what your project is going to turn into!

P.S. I have to confess that I am most often late for everything! But I don't know if that is because I don't wear a watch or because I always wait to the last possible minute before leaving!

I never wear a watch. I do become annoyed when I'm at an airport and can't find a clock but otherwise I live happily not watching the time.

Time is a funny thing. It seems that it either moves too quickly or way too slowly. One nice thing about being at home most of the time lately is that I have learned to let go of time and to focus on the moment. Its not always that way, but I would say definitely more so. Love the clock drawings. :)

I used to be a time watcher too but had to change with my third pregnancy because my watch kept dying. Now my body clock tells me a lot and for other times you can generally find the time, say on the car clock, etc. Nice to hear that you are willing to have a go, it may even reduce your stress levels, which is important to do before they get so high you break down because then it is too late.

I know what you mean!I am governed by watches and bells during my job but during school holidays I am often a rebel and don't wear a watch! Like your drawings

I'm totally the same, I think since my 1st boy, I never take it off (night feeds and I don't trust my alarm clock!)
One day, I will too...
