I teach full-time at a high school (five different classes = five sets of DIFFERENT lesson plans, grading, prep-work, etc), coach the high school speech team (practices mon-wednesday from 3:30-5:50 tournaments almost every other saturday) a wednesday night college class 6-9, a thursday night college class (5-8) and I usually spend all day sunday prepping/grading the college stuff.

Saturdays are spent doing all the errands that need done that the business world won't allow a teacher to complete (We're open 8-5, come in during those times...)

Last night I literally collapsed when I walked in the door at 7pm and slept until 6am this morning when the alarm went off. The schedule will catch up with me like that, and while I lost the entire evening, I feel better today.

I'm lucky that the bf likes to cook - but I'm the one who cleans the apt. And believe me -- you can tell I've been quilting lately -- the apt needs some attention! There are dirty dishes, garbarge to drive to the dumpster, dusting/vacumming, and about 6 loads of laundry to take to the laundromat.

My key is to schedule time to quilt. Or I'll use it as a reward (If I do all the dishes, I can cut for the next set of blocks) to get the other yucky stuff done.

=) Not ideal, but it's what I've got for now...
