[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP basically you have made nothing of yourself in life and as a result, have lots of free time on your hands.   Congratulations.  [/quote]

I think you are typical of exactly the kind of problem OP was talking about. She's structured her life in a way that makes sense to her such that she doesn't have to run around fruitlessly. She is indeed owed congratulations![/quote]

The irony of someone who doesn't have a paid job saying she's not crazy busy. Of course not. Duh. Try adding a 50 hour a week work and commute commitment and add even one volunteer commitment on top of raising kids and maintaining a marriage, and get back to me.[/quote]

Not the OP, but I work full time, have two kids, been married for 14 years, I volunteer. Does that count? I also take naps (at least an hour, two if I can swing it) every Saturday and Sunday, so it is possible. It's a choice I make because I also hate being "crazy busy". Sure, it does happen on occasion, but I go out of my way to schedule activities, volunteer and social commitments in such a way that I still maintain some downtime every weekend (and most evenings). I am an introvert and anything else would be torture to me. To each their own. [/quote]
