Fortunately, I don't have a social life to contend with--but I do have a 1-year old, work full-time, and a husband who runs his own business working 12 hour days, 6 days a week.

Early morning riding is my answer. The pooper, until recently, has been too little to tag-a-long with me and I didn't have the heart to leave her with a babysitter every night after day-care so I could ride. So I get up early while the family is sleeping, strap on lights, and head out for a 20 mile ride. One night a week my parents would watch her so I could go on a group ride with some friends.

Saturday I spend all day with the pooper. And Sunday, once again, I get up at 5 AM to ride before church. If DH can spare the time on Sunday, we'll get a babysitter so we can ride together in the afternoons :-)

The house is neat, but not spotless. The yard is, you know, mowed once in a while. The laundry gets done when it gets done. And there's nothing like stouffer's lasagna, chicken quesadillas, and soup for dinner because who has time to cook? Especially when I never know when DH will be home . . .
