What does it come to?

A quote from Fr Joe McNamara comes to my mind, "Some things are interesting, others are important."

What is interesting in my house?
TV: British Open Golf, Tour deFrance, Baseball, Loony Toons
Computers: Social Media of many varieties, Games: PBSKids, NickJr, Yahoo.....
Video Games: Zelda, Star Wars, Wii games of any variety that appeal to the male variety.... and that they can then pull me into..... either to compete against them or to help them solve problems on screen.
Being creative

What is important?
Faith
A clean house
Food on the table
Clean clothes
Reading (for fun and education)
Conversation that doesn't revolve around videogames or television
Being active
Work

What has happened?
I feel as if the interesting things have eclipsed the important things on the priority list. I work part time in order to be able to take care of the important things, but I am so overwhelmed by the enormity of it that I am unable to fulfill my own expectations. Yet, when I look to my family, we have ALL gone down the interesting path to such a degree that they are unwilling / unable to re-order priorities and align themselves with me. At what point do I throw up my hands and run out screaming?

I use work as an excuse to not cook, to not clean, to not do laundry. And I accept it as an excuse from Mark. Except when there is laundry to be done and then I find myself angry that I am the one who has to do it. He works 50-60 hours per week..... why should he have to do laundry? I work outside the house 5-40 hours per week - completely variable. Why shouldn't I arrange my work outside the house around the work within the house? What is MY priority? Aargh! And so I come back to the question: what is interesting, what is important? How do I get a balance in the reality of my life? How do I set priorities? How do I turn off the computer, phone, TV and get things done? How do I use media to really make me more productive?

Is it unrealistic of me to expect to have a conversation or interaction with my dh or ds that does not revolve around a video game or or sporting event? Should they expect me NOT to talk about what happened to day via Skpye or FB? Is the integration of social media/television into our daily reality a distortion or enhancement of what reality is?

All I know is that I am in a struggle to grasp reality and not throttle anyone around me as I grasp it!

I hope I can find myself in a happier place soon.
