Wow, really? How do you do that, and get family time in, exercise, run the kids to activities, do errands and chores?  [/quote]

I fit it in.  Peapod is my friend, and I seriously limit weekend kids activities.  We go away at least two weekends a month, often  camping to save money.  Fun is the biggest priority for us, as it makes everyone happy.  Most of my exercise is dealt with with my walking, biking, or running commute, but I still fit in a couple yoga classes every week, not set ones though and sometimes not at home.  I work full time and am extremely active in my community, but I try to incorporate fun in everything possible.  But mostly I pay a great deal of attention to minimizing time kills, so we have a small condo and a walkable commute.

For example, an in town weekend will generally include Friday night family happy hour where we all socialize. My husband I I will alternate exercising in the mornings and downtime in which some chores, educational supplementation, or community emails are taken care of.  At least one afternoon is usually a museum and the playground and we usually have dinner guests one night and neighborhood hop the other.  Weeknights are typically lower key, with us alternating community meetings and one on one kid time, and the later evening is either a bit if TV or socializing with neighbors.  We both from scratch but we are efficient and often cook with neighbors too.  We get a lot of planning and together time on trips.

My single friends do not work nearly as hard to fit it in, they just do it.[/quote]
