A personal life is too hard

How do people manage a busy personal life along with a job?  This week was  a killer due to too much personal stuff on my part.  I cannot do all these things and manage to work a 60 hour week.

In addition to the death in the family, I had a small dinner party, and a doctor’s appointment.  All these ate into the time I usually give to work.  So, the work suffered.  But work had some major hurdles in addition to my regularly scheduled program. I had three major meetings at school, one from 4 to 7 on Thursday.  We had a field trip and an assembly to add more fun to the scheduling.  Then I’m using a prep period to coach two boys for a competition in another week.  One of the guys decided it was too much and got sick and missed today.  The girl I was counting on to take pictures and get a page done in yearbook has been out sick all week.  The multimedia class is learning how to use Windows Movie Maker, which is an unknown quantity to me so I am learning right along with them.

So, how do people have time for a personal life?  I sure don’t, especially not during the week.  Can we plan those extra things for the weekend?  Oh, wait, I want to do laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking on those two days.
