For Father's Day

Awww......many reminders lately of where one's priorities should be.  From a list of things Dads want for Father's Day, someone posted this:

I would like nothing better than to hold my oldest son.They way that I did when he was three and we read books together…Just one more time."
I'm glad my kids are still that small.

Managing Minutes

I found this interesting. I know I need around 9 hours of sleep/night to feel normal. People gasp or looked shocked if I tell them that. But 8 hours/night is only an average, so some people need less, some need more. It's not shocking at all but people have this attitude like needing sleep is a sin! It really should be more of a priority, for everyone!

Did you know ...
In 1850, Americans averaged 9.5 hours of sleep a night.
In 2008, Americans averaged 6.5 hours of sleep a night.
On average, Americans watch TV for 3.25 hours a day, close to the difference in sleep between 1850 and today.
Sixty-eight percent of Americans say they want more free time.
On average, Americans spend 10 hours a day affixed to technology--TV, Internet, radio, iPod, and cellphone.
The average middle-manager gets interrupted 202 times a day. (Moms probably couldn't stay on the phone long enough to complete the interruption survey!)
