January has come and gone!

January has come and gone. It's still winter, and still cold. Not alot has changed. I find that as I update my blog, I have at least one hundred things in mind to write about, but as soon as I start writing, it leaves me. I also find that I have been getting very confused lately. I really don't think it has anything to do with my age, I think it's just that I get overloaded.

I am still working two jobs, both of which I love. I am also still going to school, which I also love. I have days where I literally wake up in the morning not knowing what day it is, or where I have to be. A friend suggested that I place a white-board next to my bed and write the next day's schedule on it the night before, so that when I wake up in the morning, it's all right there. I might take them up on that, but it echoes too closely of "Flowers for Algernon" for me: werk, werk, werk...

I have also been feeling bad in the sense that I am taking too much away from my family. I have to admit that I love having the two paychecks. We are digging out of our financial hole quite nicely. But, I am gone 12 hours out of the day between work and school. When I get home in the evening, I just want to decompress and not be bothered. That's not fair to them. My husband has been wonderful. He makes dinner every night for our daughters. I have asked the girls to help dad out every once in a while and make dinner so he doesn't have to. My youngest one is more than happy to oblige. She is going to be quite the cook someday.

I keep telling myself (everyday) that this too shall pass. This is only temporary. It's all part of the "Big Picture" that lays befor me. You have to make sacrifices, right?
