Let the insanity begin!

I'm getting to the point where at the start of January and August rather than excitedly looking forward to all my new classes I feel rather that I'm about to face-plant off a cliff.

It started this last week with the University reopening after being closed for the holidays and the gym re-opening as well.  The kids started school as well.  Sometimes I wish I could just stay home like we did for two weeks.  It was so nice and peaceful.  I love my work both at the university and at the gym but it is incredibly time consuming and while school is hard, I know working towards my goals are important too.

The sad truth is that if I worked less Chris would probably be on my case more at home (than he already is) about cleaning and other past times I dislike.  If you ask him me and the kids have been too lazy for his taste.  Financially we would also suffer.  So it's back to the grind!  I will miss the joy of having time to paint my toes with Rachel and build legos with Harm or just staying in bed late watching house flipping shows with Cally.

No matter what I do finding time to be a mom first is always my priority.  I guess in a perfect world the rest would follow easily.  Of course it's not perfect and that's life!
