One of life's great mysteries

Has anybody ever figured out, at what point in your life, you go from having too much time to having no time at all?

Hmm I never seem to have enough time in the day. What is too much time like?

Hope all is well.

It's been awhile since I've had too much time, and I think the culprit is a combination of things, having a kid, establishing a career, but it all just sort of sneaks up on me until my life is completely different.

Before we had Kristin, I had a job, we'd both go to work, come home, do dinner and then spend the evening in front of the tv, watching Cheers, Married With Children or playing on the playstation, it just seemed like there was a lot of free time. I was a lot more slack with the housework too, which now consumes a lot of time.

Then we had Kristin, I got self-employed, I had to upkeep the house better, got involved with the school and other parents, etc.

It all snuck up on me gradually.

Sometimes I think back on all those evenings we just did nothing and lament that I wasn't more productive, I'd be even farther ahead in life if I was. But sometimes I think back on that time and miss it so.

Having a kid and owning a home took away all our time. I'm permanently attached to the kid, but I'd go back to an apartment if I could.

so far having only to much time comes from me right now from losing my job...other then that i always felt like there wasnt enough time to breathe much less live life..
