I've gotta harness the time!

Over a weeks' worth of entries have passed me by. That's how my life is feeling like it's just whizzing by and I have no control over how my day goes. We are at over 300 folders for Summer Reading at the Library and it's the fourth week. If we get 100 this week we will have surpassed last summer's 378 mark. For the administration it's about numbers and that's all.
We are at 75 with the Teen folders so I'm very happy about that.
Trying to make lemonade with lemons: that is what work at the FLP is for me right now. How do I make the best of a situation that I am given: having a work force made up of some who just look at this as a job and not much more, handling the Philadelphia public, and an inner sense of not being able to manage all that is expected of a branch manager at FLP. Managing a staff, a building, a collection, the public, a friends group, outreach, programming; how does it all get done with good solid results?
With another librarian in the building and a semi full front desk staff, I hope to better manage my time on the above mentioned areas so that I can start seeing positive results.
Still working on that second sock, still haven't finished the merlot crocheted sweater I started in June and my office/craft room is STILL a mess! I found a very cool site of beautiful rag dolls and very pretty flower pens and old fashioned magnets. Inspiring and I so wish I could have a day of crafting all to myself. Not having children one would think I have the time. But as I aptly named this entry; if only I could harness the time! I came home last night at 840pm (stayed late to enter statistics) . I called up a colleague of mine who is three times as busy as I am at the branch for support, which she gave. Hung up with her after I finished my ice cream (dinner) and I needed a hug but my hubby is not the huggy kind so I satisfied myself with the big pillow and just fell asleep on the couch! By 9:30 pm I am dead to the world. I don't even dream any more.
I need oatmeal to fortify me for the morning!
