I need a weekend. Most people get two days off in a row to relax and recharge for the next work week. I get Sunday and Wednesday. Sunday is more-or-less devoted to whatever my DH would like to do. It usually means that I waste a day because he enjoys playing computer games with me. I have a good time....but I really don't accomplish anything. I would rather spend the day doing some housekeeping and maybe some crafting. I have many things in my creative fire and not enough time for them. It's a problem. 
How do other people find time? I suspect they have a partner who supports them more than mine (it might be cruel of me to say that, but I think it's true). I also suspect that they are working for someone else - not owning their own business. My standard work week is 7am - 6pm and often I will also work in the evenings. That doesn't leave a lot of time for creative projects or establishing myself in an alternative light. And one day off doesn't catch me up on my sleep or allow a lot of ..... well, it's just too short. In today's economy I don't dare quit right now. Finding another job - although I would want a part-time job only - would be very difficult right now. Too many people who desperately need work are seeking anything they can find. But eventually the economy will improve and then I may have the opportunity to spread my wings again.
