In Class...on a Sunday!

So I am taking a class during the Winter session and counting down the weeks to the end. For the next three weeks, will be attending Tuesdays and Thursdays as well as two Sundays. Please note that does not mean that I have stopped my regular activities which includes my kids' activities. My whole life as a super mom continues and I do not know where my energy levels come from but I need to regenerate. Today it's Sunday and class does not end until 5pm...help me! Once I get home, I need to start working on a paper due on Tuesday so I need to buckle down! The discussion for the past 30 minutes is about the pending blizzard for Tuesday and whether it will impact having class...and they call this learning!

TGIF...are you for real!

Wow...it's Friday and the week seems to have not come to an end for me. People are supposed to be relieved that it's Friday and I am like can get another day or two. I have a major contract deadline due today but had to go to the doctor this morning so probably will not get to work until 1pm to finish it up. I have to leave work on time so I can go into that telephone booth and change into SuperMom! Take kids to dance class, cheerleading practice, basketball games all throughout the weekend while trying to get in some reading in for my own school stuff! It's a wonder I have not cracked up already because saying I am overwhelmed is an understatement. Calgon take me away....do they even make that still????

Resolutions or Must Do's?????

Usually people focus on resolutions for the New Year but I feel resolutions are things that you could possibly work on versus what one must do to make their year to complete. This is why I am focusing on must do's that I need to complete for 2011! One of my major things to do is establishing financial independence for this year in order for me to be really happy this year. For the past two years with the aftermath of my separation and divorce, happiness has been Up and down for me, mainly due to my finical struggles. I have such this overwhelming anxiety about my ability to meet my financial obligations for my household. My biggest guilt is trying to make sure that my kids are happy and that they are never suffer because of the divorce that I choose to pursue...does anyone else ever feel like that? How do you manage to try to balance being the best mom while being a senior manager while struggling financially even though you have an income that you should not be...but you are because it's just YOU! Even writing about it makes me sad and raises my anxiety...so my goal this year is to really buckle down and try to bring my bills down, however, the funny part is that my biggest expenses are my mortgage and my student loans! Another goal is to chronicle my experiences more as I have talked about in the past but it needs to become my form of therapy. Between the kids, work, school and just plain life I have no time to sit on a couch and cry but I find when I write it helps ease my stress! This year has to be a good one for me and the kids...well the kids are always good so more I guess for me. Let's see what 2011 has in store for me in the next 363 days!

Back to the Grind!

This weekend was the first full weekend of the kids being back to dance. As a mom, it has been hectic and already wanting it to stop but this is what keeps my mind busy. Running around with them back and forth helps my mind to stay distracted off all the other crazy things going on in my life. I need to take better control off my life. I am rambling right now but will edit later. Falling asleep!!

Its Been A Long Time!

Wow...I cannot believe it has been so long since my last post since last year. So much has happened within my busy life that has prevented me from writing as I have planned. I cut my locks on 9/11/09 and started 2nd Master's degree program in Social Work which has drove me close to drinking! I believe that this has really prevented me from writing as planned. My divorce became final on December 1st of last year which also lifted a weight off my shoulder. Such a busy year with the kids...pageants, dance classes, preparing for high schools, etc.! Right now, I am sitting in my Social Policy class which I am not crazy about but my professor makes it interesting. The Fall and Spring semester ended well so I am really trying to get through this summer session in one piece. I do not know how I keep it up and I am afraid that once I stop that I will just drop...that is a scary feeling. I feel like I am rambling but I am so happy to be back on here writing. Let's see if I can keep it up!

What's Up!

Wow...I cannot remember the last time that I have spent so much time at home relaxing and I am actually loving it! The kids are back in school, registered for dance and ready to start a hectic set of months to come. This year, we are not doing any Saturdays because I need a break! Also, since I am in school, I need to focus on my school work since I do not know what all that means! This week was my first full week of classes and I feeling just as overwhelmed as I was a few weeks ago. I have not done this in 14 years and am wondering how I am going to juggle all that I have to do. Am I going to make it this semester? I really hope so because this means so much to me! In one of my classes, I have to create a journal and I think I am going to use my blog for the journal...seems like a good place to start. Well let me get to studying!!!

Busy Week

This weeks seems to be moving pretty fast and I am like "great"! I have been working so hard this week and don't know how and why I am so motivated this week. In any case, I have taken care of all my major projects at work and now handling all the major projects at home. The house is an ongoing project but my bigger focus is on Kianna's high school search. I think I anm going to be a little bit more stressed this month!
