Lessee, 2 adults, both work full time, 1 german shorthaired pointer. Like Tulip's dog, our dog needs two walks a day.

First off, housework is last priority. Thankfully mom refused to instill in us girls that our worth was tied to how well we kept house, so I don't feel bad when it gets cruddy. It gets clean eventually. Interestingly enough the boyfriend had more trouble with the messy house, but he never tried the it's woman's work crap with me. We have never hired someone to come in; we would love to but never found anyone we could trust to handle a big dog and not let the dog out to get run over. The yard work is hired out, and they do a crummy job but I live with it.

Meals have always been a sore point with us. I cook from scratch, he won't unless forced, which is funny because he is actually a great cook. So we eat way more takeout than we should, which leads to other problems. Sometimes on the weekend I will make something to last a few days, then have it during the week, but I also can't stand to eat the same thing 2 meals, or even 2 days, in a row.

So I guess my priority is first the dog, because he is relatively powerless and our responsibility. BF walks him in the morning, I do in the afternoon. Then household stuff that has to be done, like paying bills or emptying the trash. Then getting up and going to work 40 hours/week, because that makes all the rest of life possible.

Whatever time is left I read, ride the bike, watch too much news online and on TV and in the paper (always a struggle to keep my news addiction under control) attempt to learn the guitar, ski, walk another dog 3X weekly for volunteer work, and my latest, learn how to track with the pointer. I have pretty much given up gardening, though I may get back into it. Ya just can't do it all at once.
