I need someone to tell me how to fix my life.
Now I'm not saying everything needs to be perfect all the time of course, but why can we never catch up with our chores?
Why is there never time to do the stuff we need to do much less the stuff we want to do?
Why does it always seem like we have to choose between eating dinner at a reasonable time or having a clean living room?
Or between going grocery shopping and going to bed before midnight?
Or between watching an hour of TV and balancing the checkbook?
Seriously, are we the only ones who feel like this, or is this something everyone has to deal with and they just hide it when you come over for tea?
Is it because our society is totally f-d up? Is it because every household needs 2.5 incomes just to support two adults without any kids?
Give me the days when one person worked and the other stayed home. I'll even be the one who works, I don't care. I just need to make at least twice as much. Or everything needs to cost half as much, I'll take either scenario.
One thing is for sure, unless I become a millionaire, I'm not having any kids to pass this crisis on to.

This is unrelated, except for the title of your post... but one time, it did just rain on me. It was bright and sunny, there was one cloud in the sky, and not only did it rain on me, but the cloud followed me home. So I walked home from class with my sunglasses on in the pouring rain and a white t-shirt.

Brian, that is a real shame. I was trying to be clever. The title is from a song.

I've given up on having a clean apartment. I'm waiting until I get a house, in a few months (ha! How naive I am!)
I've got a full-time job and do anywhere from 20 to 40 hours of freelance on top every week (to buy said house). I try to see friends (outside). I balance the budget, take care of 5 cats (and a recovering gambler husband). I do the groceries, go to the hospital 2-3 times a week for medical follow-up... I'm exhausted. And my place is a mess. But hey, when I die, I'm pretty sure I won't say "gee, I wish I'd swept more often"! LOL So my free time = for spending with friends/loved ones

Thanks, very nice of you.
First, check my

Tip: Check around for better pricing. Amazon's pricing is usually good, but not always the best available.
A quick Froogle search can't hurt.
