I guess there'll be lots of working mothers out there who feel like that. In many ways, I think I'm having it slightly better than many as my working day ends slightly earlier. I still get to see the sun when I go home. So I am still able to get some things done before the day is over. Sometimes, I wonder whether I should just quit and be a stay-at-home mom. But the thought frightens me somewhat, losing that sort of independence that I'm so accustomed to.
I wish there were more than 24 hours in a day! Guess I wouldn't be the only one wishing that. The days seem to zoom past now... I supposed the time will come one day, when I shall find them crawling at snail pace... can't imagine yet but it will come. There is a time for everything under the sun.... one of my favourites from Ecclesiastes 3.
1 There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—So I supposed I should be thankful that my days are filled with meaningful activities and people, that I am still able to do the things that I am doing.
2 A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.
3 A time to kill and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build up.
4 A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
5 A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
6 A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
7 A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
8 A time to love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
It's better to busy than have nothing to do!!! I guess.....

i think your schedule is very much better than most office workers (in the rat race) in kl... with all the dem traffic jams and long hours... :)
...plus u forgot to quote the infamous line from Ecclesiates:
Everything is meaningless!!
Bah humbug! (this bit contributed by Charles Dickens via Goatville) :D
daboss... yah! My schedule is definitely better than most kl people. I only need 12 minutes to get to work if I don't send the kids to school. And bcos of that I can still do a little 'homeschoolin' with my kids, cook and do other 'kaypoh' work. 8) But tiring like mad...
PP...yeah also...everything is meaningless... but man still needs to toil... 8)
