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!
