Where does the Time Go?

I'm leaving again on Sunday for Brussels. I've been home 2 weeks this time, and I feel like I've gotten nothing done! Well. I've seen a lot of my friends, which is great. I've been to the pool, I've cooked dinner at home, I've watched So You Think You Can Dance. I got some new summer work clothes and mailed some chocolates to my family. I went to the dentist and the dermatologist and the book store.

But I still feel like I've gotten nothing done. I've been out nearly every single night in this two week period, or had people at my house. Even tonight, I won't be home until around 8:30 since I'm getting my hair cut. (hooray. I've had to postpone the appointment 3 times!) My apartment is a total disaster area, even with having company over for dinner on Tuesday. I haven't cleaned out the pantry so there's groceries just hanging out on the kitchen floor. I forgot to give Kate her birthday present. I haven't really done laundry in a month. I haven't returned phone calls from last week. I haven't even had time to work on my knitting or watch much of anything I have saved on the DVR. (there's stuff on there from April. April. We're closer to July than April!)

Anyone have time management suggestions? I think I need them. Or, barring that, the phone number of a cleaning person in Washington? I think I'm going to have to give up on the cleaning and just pay someone to do it. Or, has anyone figured out a way to live without sleep? That might work as well.
