The grass is always greener...

Life can be kind of a hustle, can't it. I mean once you get somewhere you in fact want to be, there is just some other obstacles arising. Take me for in stance. I've been a lucky blogging bastard for about one year, doing the house work, cooking and I had time to do some things for me and my wife, and at the weekends we both could go out to see some of the many things Hong Kong has ready for it's citizens and visitors, as I had the time to solve all the mess we made again, during the week as a lucky blogging bastard at home. Yet I wasn't completely happy as I felt the grass was greener on the working side of life. Of course there was the financial side of it with only one income. But mostly I missed the challenges of working in my field with film and media, and of course I missed the social aspect of belonging to a staff somewhere, and have to deal with all kind of people using a television studio. Now I'm at that kind of work again, and that is good. It is a very exciting job and a big challenge, but now the problem occurred, that suddenly we cannot relax and explore anything at the weekends anymore, as we have to do the house work, which we now -believe it or not- doesn't have time to during the week, as we both gets up before the break of dawn to get to work at 8 AM, and both comes back after 5 PM, and if there is something you just don't wanna do when your head is tired and filled with work related problem solving, then it is tidying and cleaning a house. Well, I guess we just have to pull our selves together and grow up, I mean everybody -nearly- must have the same problem, and seems to be able to manage these banalities without having to post thoughts and frustrations like this on a blog. But could these people who manage that, then please post a comment here, and tell me how on earth they do that? Or; maybe it is the time where we should get a maid? Just for a couple of hours, two or three times a week? Hmm, what a hustle, all these decisions to make, maybe it is time for a new poll, to get some help to solve this matter.
