So much to do...so little time

It amazes me how every day I find myself with tons of things to do.
I think I have everything done one day, and then I wake up the next day with hundreds of other things to do.

Take today for example.

I woke up at 11 (yes it's late, but I like my sleep) and immediately started cleaning. Not something I usually do, but my parents were out of town so I figured I would surprise them by actually cleaning the house. I cleaned the entire downstairs of my house. Which takes quite a bit of time. I had to be to work at 1:45 so on my way I checked the mail, deposited my check, and refilled my prescription. I felt SO accomplished.

But like always, the work is NEVER done.

• The dishes I put in the dishwasher now have to be put away so I can reload the dishwasher.
  
• My car still needs to be cleaned.
  
• My laundry still needs to be put away.
• I still have homework I need to get done.
• And I'm going to have to start it all over again tomorrow

Sometimes I wish we could just pause life for a couple of hours so we can get everything done. And the saddest part is, I only have more to look forward to. It gets harder the older you get and the more responsibility you take on. So I'm going to enjoy all of the things that I don't have done yet because it's only going to get harder.
