Time
There is never enough time. Though having a tight schedule is much more satisfying than having nothing to do; it is much more stressfull. I know I'm not saying anything that is news to anyone, but it is true. There was a time when I had some things I had to do every day, and then I spent the rest of the day being bored. Now, I have to fandangle my shedule to get anything extra in. I have to think about where I'm going and when at all times, and what is near that place that I can take care of when I'm there. 15 minutes to do this, an hour for that, 7 minutes to drive between leaving 3 hours for homework before work and then two hours of recreation when I get home. It's crazy. Most people in this situation have probably quit reading this already because they've got things to do. I think we should just go back to the fuedal system. That way, I would never know what I was missing out on. Plus, every day would pretty much the same. Plow field, shovel poop, shovel dirt, plant seeds, shovel dirt, shovel poop, eat, sleep, next day.

Yep, I know what you mean. That's why I place things like "dusting" and "tidying up" way down my list of priorities!!
I so love being unorganized--it helps me to keep my priorities straight. You are talking about time--I personally think 24 hours in a day is not enough but then much of that is because I meet myself coming and going at the door. I don't even wear a watch b/c I do not want to know how late I am or early--and I wonder why I am not organized--go figure! The main reason is because there is NOT enough time in a day. I'm actually amazed I had time to post this message in response to your original post.
I know just how you feel! Thinking back to when I was a child or even a teenager, I would spend my weekend complaining of how bored I was or how there was never anything to do. Even in my late teens, when I had a job, had my own place and an active lifestyle full of friends and fun times...I would catch myself with "nothing" to do and actually be bored. Fast forward 10+ years as I am now a full-time employee, part-time student and most importantly...a full-time single mom to three great kids! Being bored is no longer in my vocabulary...ever! There is ALWAYS something to do, all all times! Sure, I can take some down time but that just means that something is not getting done! I often think back to those days when I used to catch myself feeling bored. Awwww, those were the days!
I'm beginning to wonder if this much fanagling in normal? I am so busy, and stressed, etc, and I think its normal, but? Or has society just made us multi-task to the hilt, and that is all we know now?
I'm ready to start moving completely backwards, no cable, no cell phone, etc etc, but is that really possible?
*Sigh* Glad to hear its not just me.
