time keeps on ticking

mikey decided to go underwater the other night while he was taking a tubby. anna decided to time him. she couldn't even get to one. he wasn't even under for a mili-second. but she told him, "wow, mikey, that was almost ten seconds...if i counted really fast."

what if we could speed up time or slow down time according to the pace at which we counted?
now, i am not saying that i would totally manipulate time to try and make things absolutely perfect, i do understand there must needs be opposition in all things, but perhaps i might change the time on a few things to make some days a little more pleasant. for example:

• i would speed up the time i am in my car with the kids screaming at me and at each other. that would be nice.
• my summers would be really fast and my autumns really long.
• nights would definitely be slower as would weekends...sometimes (shawn gets what we like to call the "saturdays" and that is when he has NO projects to do or rather NO money to make it possible for a project...i don't particularly care for those saturdays).
• maybe i might have another baby...count away the weeks of pregnancy.
• maybe make a summer storm linger a little longer.
• shorten travel time (NOT vacation time, just travel time).
• speed up headaches and cramps and periods and such.
• january and february inversion would last about a half hour.
• spring would pop up earlier and last long into july.
• i would count as fast as i could during an especially boring and dull meeting.
• hugs would always be counted slower.

just a few ideas. perhaps, just maybe, if i take more time and really enjoy the moments i want, then maybe i could, sort of, maybe, manipulate time in my little world. i don't know.
