Weekends

Is it just me, or are weekends getting shorter?

I don't feel like I have any time during the week - a long commute and a few evening responsibilities. And when the weekend comes I try not to schedule anything more than laundry and groceries. But I barely get one or two things crossed off my "to do" list and it's already Sunday afternoon.

How do other people do it? I don't have expectations of a life of ease (though, wow, would that be cool) but some of the things I want to do are just for me. I used to be able to read a book a week - now it takes me a month.

Short of dropping back to part-time work status, or finding myself a sugar daddy, I don't see a solution.

Any suggestions?
