How do you manage your time? Are you happy about that?

It's funny, sometimes I'm tempted to give this blogging up but I had a look at my stats and for one who doesn't post much ( well, hardly at all really ) they are not too bad.
And some people think I do it for the money, not even enough for a child's piggy bank really and aren't those adcents a giggle. Not to be take too seriously.
Well, it could have been a great weekend but Andrew had to race around doing a few things about getting his house ready for leasing and then the farm beckoned, so for one who is supposed to love me so passionately I did not get to see him so much.
Of course, I like the idea of the farm, but just for little visits really, and besides there is nowhere for me to stay.
Andrew says when we get married ( and that's quite an assumption as I haven't said yes yet) we'll get a nice caravan to stay in before we build a small cottage up there, quite forgetting that it may not be just the two of us for very long.
Anyway I spent most of yesterday with Mum and Dad and they said the problem is that people were too material nowadays, in their day it was just the home and the family, now it's everything, send the babies off to child care and live almost insanely trying to hold everything together. I think they've got something there.
I think Andrew and I shall have a few things to sort out before we get married, that's if we do.
Children need a dad as well as a mum and although he needs to work and is a good income producer, it can make one too ambitious financially, after all we're pretty well off already by most people's standards.
Some lead lives that are quite frenetic and how on earth low income earners cope is beyond me, they must find it very difficult.
I can understand why young women defer marriage and a family but so many of them then miss out all together, and I think that is rather sad. Women's lib, who are they kidding, women's bondage if you ask me.
But at least they don't get stuck with a child every year since the pill came in. But more and more are ending up in IVF programs, that cannot be very pleasant for them.
It's invariably the women who suffer. Why, I constantly ask myself.
Anyway to-day Andrew and I had a lovely relaxing day at home even though he slept through a great portion of it while Tinkerbelle and I watched DVD's, a sign of things to come perhaps.
How do you feel about these things, do you have enough time in your life to do the things you really want to do or is time and/or other factors holding you back?

I for one, am guilty for being too busy. A full time job and 2 side writing jobs plus a part time postgrad degree often keeps me away from spending quality time with Will, not even to mention my folks and sister. I've made the decision to at least spend at least one full day with Will and visit mum and dad whenever I can (which is getting harder since I moved up to Coffs Harbour) but of course, exceptions do happen and sometimes I need to fly around for my job that prevents me from fulfilling my promises. Fortunately Will is extremely understanding and have been ok with my busy schedules, as long as I keep coming back to him I think he is happy

gamefullygainfully.Thanks for a lovely reply, as always.
Wise words Louie and the reversal is scintillatingly precise, true, true, true, oh, Goddess of goodness. ( and wisdom)
Amy, you have gone to a lot of trouble to give me a long reply which I very much appreciate. You have so generously given us a capsule of your own lifestyle, something for my readers to consider, as well as me.
Very perceptive of the three of you, except I think Raven’s replies are often somewhat tongue in cheek, but delightful and amusing to have.
