How much time does a person have?

Wait, I didn't tell you yet that I talked on the phone the other night to my friend Candace, a true journey mama who is living in India with her husband and two kids. This woman is truly amazing. Her little girls are 2 years old and 7 months old and I'm telling you, India is crazy enough when you don't have kids. I can't wait to go back.

But just talking with her, I got to thinking about the fact that any task you set yourself to in India takes you a whole day. Want to go to the bank? Better set aside a day. Want to buy some mattresses? Better take two days. So, if my theory that running around with toddlers makes things take six times as long is true, how long does it take to accomplish things with kids in India? Weeks?

Ahh, perspective. My old friend. But I bet her kids don't poop every 5 minutes when she's running errands.
