Life Balance

Everyone always talks about the balancing act between family and work... I decided, since I have been very busy, to see where my time goes... Here is what it looked like:

Midnight - 4:30a: Sleeping
4:30a - 5:00a: Shower and Dressed
5:00a - 5:30a: Commute to office
5:30a - 4:30p: Work
4:30p - 5:00p: Commute to home
5:00p-5:30p: Get settled at home and get out of work clothes
5:30p - 6:30p: Cook and Eat Dinner
6:30p - 7:30p: Walk outside, chat with neighbors
7:30p - 9:00p: Work while sitting with Wife
9:00p -11:00p: Watch TV with wife
11:00p - 12:00a: Sleep

By the end of the day, the only balance I hope for is that I am still standing on my feet.

And... I am the lucky one as my kids are much older and do not need a lot of my time. So hear I sit... instead of being with my wife and kids, I blog. Funny isn't it. Well, I would like to write more, but my wife is calling me and asking me to go to the store with her, run some errands, visit the parents, cut the grass, clean the cars.... I wish it was Monday.....
