What is Amanda doing anyway?

So we got this house, and now I have no time. I wake up early every morning, take care of the dogs, get coffee in me and get ready and then woosh I'm off to work. I work work work a lot of the time working through lunch, and then get off and battle traffic to the interstate. Not so bad once I get on the highway, but I still have 25 miles to drive back to the house once I'm off the surface streets. If I'm lucky I can go straight home, but a lot of the time I have to stop by the store for something important. Like coffee or creamer or dog food. You know, the basics. Then I get to take care of dinner. If Steve is in town I will cook real food, but when he's traveling the dogs get fed while I heat up my Lean Cuisine. That leaves me enough calories to enjoy some Starbucks ice cream (yum more coffee) or a cookie or whatever else I have in the house while I watch T.V. for about 15 minutes until I can no longer hold my eyes open and I have to take myself to bed. If it's a weekend I try to take care of stuff around the house, but I really dread having to leave because I feel like I never get to spend enough time here anyways and I don't like having to crate the dogs. We just got our first dining room table ever and now we are total freaks and must eat every meal there no matter how good T.V. is at the time. I actually ate breakfast this morning just to enjoy the fact that I am no longer having to hold my plate in my lap, eating with one hand and swatting at the dogs with the other. Neko now cries because he can't actually see the yummy goodness on our plates and he probably knows his days of getting scraps are coming to an end. Good thing, since he's turned in to quite a little butterball. Well, now it is 9 and I don't think I'll be able to stay awake much longer. I was really hoping to post pictures of the house, but I can't find my adapter for my SD card and there is no telling where it may be, so I can't get the pictures off my phone easily. Oh well, I will post again when I get a chance, maybe sometime in the next decade, and put pictures up then. I tell ya, I have no idea how you all do it with work and a house and dogs because there's just not enough hours in the day for me, or maybe just not enough coffee :)
