Today is my first day back at school. I’ll be there full-time through Wednesday for meetings and training.
I won’t mention how many hours I devoted to my online class yesterday… Or how many assignments I still have in my inbox to grade…
Needless to say, despite my best efforts it seems I will be working triple extra overtime the next few days.
You see, I have a chronic problem. It’s called biting off more than I can chew. Apparently I have always done this and my mom is starting to find it amusing as when I start complaining and become bitter about it she just looks at me and I can tell she is thinking “you did this to yourself, AGAIN”.
Yeah, I did.
But I really had the best of intentions. I cut my “real” job back to part-time so I could spend more time with Bo. Over the last 5 years I’ve become much better at saying no to things that I don’t have time for. But yet, still, somehow, here I am — working two part-time jobs that add up to way over full-time hours. Not to mention this full-time mommy gig. Definitely not my intention…
I’ve thought ahead and I have a few posts scheduled over the next few days, but if I drop off the face of the earth, you’ll know why. I’m going to try to at least keep up with Twitter. (Ah, the beauty of a BlackBerry…) So if you’re dying to know how badly I’m suffering feel free to follow me there.
Now I must finish getting ready before I have to wake Bo up early so I can drag him to my mom’s for the day. Poor little guy…. doesn’t even get a full nights rest.
(And yes, I’m writing this early in the morning. Hence the fact there are no cohesive thoughts.)
may things get easier for you soon…
