I wonder how everyone else does it...

Have you ever wondered how everyone else does it?  I mean, sometimes it seems that I have just enough time to do the laundry and the dishes on the weekends after working full-time, running the kids around, Dr. and dentist appointments, homework, balancing the checkbook, paying bills, exercise, grocery shopping, making phone calls... and God knows what else...

I find myself wondering "How does everyone else do it?"  How do people with three kids (or more!)do it when I only have two?  How do single parent households do it?  How do people who appear to be so-much-more-put-together do it?

I just can't get my head around it.  Right when I think things are running so smoothly - the trash is emptied, the floor is clean, the dishes are put away, and clothes are actually hanging in the rooms they belong in - I realize... CRAP... there's pink stuff growing in the toilet.  When was the last time I cleaned that toilet?  And then I look outside and see weeds all over the backyard hillside... CRAP... how long have THOSE been there?

The dogs need shots, and they need to be groomed, the car needs a smog check, my son needs a bigger bed, my daughter needs new jeans (didn't we just buy some?), the air conditioning needs to be serviced, the oranges on the neighbor's tree need to be picked if we want to enjoy them, my ipod earphones need to be replaced...  The list goes on and on...

And I just wonder...

How does everyone else do it?  And is there an easier way?

I'm just wonderin'...  I would love to know...One day...
