I'll be completely honest here; I'm not entirely sure how normal people manage. By normal, I mean people who maintain sort-of extracurricular activities beyond work while balancing a family life. I keep my schedule to a bare minimum and I barely find the time to handle that load. Get up, get the kids up, get ready for work, take the kid to daycare, get to work, get home, dinner, clean up, get the kid to bed, time for the other kid to go to bed, exercise, get to bed. And yet there are people that toss in book clubs and parties and girls night out and sports clubs and scout meetings...how the hell do they do it? Seriously? I have two kids' soccer teams looming out in the horizon and already my brain is spinning trying to think how I will manage to keep things toppling down on me. I will admit that time management has never, ever been my strong point - after all, it's been HOW LONG since I last posted? But I just don't see where to squeeze out more time, except by perhaps eliminating some hours of sleep. Clearly I missed some sort of super-multitasking 101 course or something.
I guess I should just suck it up and stop whining. I'm just awed that people are capable of running like machines and DON'T go completely insane. I can't help it...I like having scheduled xbox time to kill off a few hundred zombies. It's training, you see. Training for the inevitable. Oh yes...
