Women's lives are busy. We seem to fill them up easily with work, social obligations, family, entertainment and recreation. At least this is my experience.
I work full time, have a family to take care of, try to exercise regularly, try to visit at least one friend a week, try to see the rest of the family every week, do an online course (math 11 - pre-calculus), and attempt to write a blog entry once a week. I know other women do much more in a week, but I struggle to keep up to this. I do a large portion of the household work, all the shopping, laundry, cooking (I do try to get my husband to bbq some meat once a week, and my son to cook once a week too - but I still have to do the vegetables and most of the cleanup), all the baking, meal planning, bathroom cleaning, homework policing, social planning, dealing with doctors and other health care (one of my kids gets sick a lot), and the scores of other invisible jobs that happen to keep a household running. Not that the men of the house do nothing - it just seems like it.
I wouldn't complain, though, would I?
I actually love having a busy life. It is a juggle, and I find myself running around a lot, but overall it is satisfying to always have something to do.
Today, for instance, being a day off work, I want to: write my blog entry, visit my mom, do my online lesson, visit my good friend and maybe go for a walk with her if it stops raining, do the grocery shopping, do laundry, check my kid's throat and possibly take him to the clinic (this takes up a big chunk of time if deemed necessary), bake treats for the week. I would also like to go to the shopping mall, I want to look at some boots for me.
Then I have to deal with dinner.
I'm sure I won't quite get all this done in one day, but I'll try.
I wonder what the guys have planned today?
