So Much to do, So Little Time

I have a hard time finding balance in my life. How to keep up with dishes, laundry, dusting, laundry, kids, husband, dogs, laundry, work. It's all so much, and sometimes, I'm just too tired and can't keep up. Another thing that bothers me is that I don't post as often as I would like, and I totally ignore reading all my favorite blogs more than a few times a week. When I'm at work, I will do a little blog reading, but they're coming down on us for internet use, so that's a no no. At home, its just so hard with all the chores and running around. I don't sit still too often and blogging and reading blogs requires one to sit still.

Before I know it it's 10pm, I can hardly keep my eyes open and all the blogs I had wanted to read, and all the other stuff I had to do just falls by the way side. Until the next day, where I'm greeted every sunny morning with that ever growing to do list.

I would really love to read and comment on blogs more often. I keep hearing of this wonderful blogging community, but I feel like I'm not a part of it eventhough I've been blogging for over a year. I'm hanging out on the fringes. I guess I have to participate more if I want to be a part of such a wonderful community. I only wish I could find a way to balance all the family, house and life stuff with the fun. I have become a bit anti-social so internet friends are just what I need.

How do you find balance? Do you feel like you're running around like a chicken with with your head cut off? That's how I feel, like all the time. I had so much laundry this week, the only feasable solution was to go to the laundromat to get it all done. I ran out of time, and only managed a couple of loads at home. I'm sure it will still be there waiting for me, growing and growing, like fungus, or a wart, or the grossest juiciest pimple. I hate laundry.

I TOTALLY feel like I'm running around like a chicken w/o a head! When it's slow at work, I can read and post blogs, but the last couple weeks I've been busy, and I'm SO behind on all the blogs in my bloglines...and a ton of fun stuff has been going on with me, but I haven't had time to post about it yet. Figures...when I have time, there's nothing fun to poast.

Hang in there!

I love reading and commenting on blogs.. I just give myself a time limit; half an hour here, or there. Otherwise, I'm left completely behind!

I try to accept that this is what modern life is like. Everyone I know competes/talks about how busy they are. I can only do what I can do... at least that's what I tell myself.

And some days, I'm overweight, the house is filthy, everything feels stupid, and...

that's life too. I just don't like it.
