Does anyone know of a place where I can buy more time? Even on credit??? I never seem to have enough time.......

I live in a pretty decent place, and I have lived here for a long time and have loved it.....just recently, a couple things have happened that have made me less happy here....I pay a lot of money to live here, and I expect to be kept up and look nice. Suddenly the place is going downhill...wear and tear is one thing, but some destructive kids have moved into the building, and I am trying to get the rental office to make repairs and do whatever to improve life over here. They are aware of the problems, but I just can't seem to light a fire under them to move more quickly. I get so frustrated when they don't take me seriously.....but there is a vacant apartment here now, and I think they will be interested in cleaning up the messes in order to rent it out.

I am trying to clean up my messes, but I keep running out of time, and I never seem to have a lot of continuous time....an hour here and there after a long day at work and other plans is not working. I did manage to consolidate and throw out a couple things last night, then passed out in bed. At the very least, a bit of the piles of junk and clothes in the bedroom have been moved, and the task looks less daunting but time-consuming anyway.....

...and what does this have to do with debt? Well, I am trying to gain more control over my overall circumstances, and I know the debt thing will fall in line with all of it, too. Good organization and a better environment.

I went for yet another snowflaking walk at lunchtime.....it just makes me happy!

I hear you on that Littles. Just not enough time. I try the Flylady way, and it works pretty well. But I get really jealous of those who get to be home during the day, and stinkin' thinkin' creeps in, and I give up and plop in front of the boob tube.

Not last night though! I wanted to be able to post something positive, so when I got home I made some bread (even though it collapsed in the bread machine), and went out to the garden and planted 7 tomatoes and 3 pepper plants! Then after dinner (reheated leftovers), DH and I spent about an hour discussing our new finances. My spending plan looks grim, and red all over the place, but we'll fix it. At least we wrote some things down, and can work on it. I want to sell my new car, but DH wants to take over the payments for it, but I'll feel like a charity case, and blah blah blah...

At least I did some work last night! And it's raining like the dickens here today, so all those tomatoes and peppers are getting a good drink.
