My 55 is all about how I've been feeling in regards to my blogging friends. I feel like one sorry bloggy friend. I don't come and visit everyone as much as I used to, but I hope that I'll be able to get back into the swing of things. I know I keep saying it, I mean it, and I will do it. I have to get that whole 'time management' thing down. When you're highly disorganized and don't manage time well, then you can just imagine what chaos surrounds me. It's highly stressful! LOL
Anyways, I just finished my first week of school. This week was basically syllabus and other classroom things, but we did managed to get a few notes in for history and some vocabulary and practice in Spanish. Two classes may not seem like a lot, but between needing to do 6 hours of studying for history and 15 hours a wk for Spanish, it is going to be a bit difficult. I still help out with daughters' cheer squad, need to take care of the house (which, sadly, has been neglected), and all the other tasks of a domestic engineer extraordinaire. LOL
Does anyone have any tips besides keeping a planner? That's been helping me quite a bit, but not enough to be well and truly organized. Aaaargh! I also will be starting physical therapy for my creaky knee in about a week and half.
I have no classes tomorrow, but cannot sleep in. Stinky asked me if I ever just wanted to sleep in and let the kids get ready on their own and get to school on their own. I said that will never happen. I know that they don't always wake up with their alarm. It's so easy to hit that snooze button or even turn it off (which I am guilty of doing). But I told Stinky that even though my brother and I could and did get ourselves up, ready, and off to school on our own, my mom was always up with us (usually before us). Stinky says that he thinks that that is just a mother's internal/maternal thing since we are the nurturers. Hey, I think there's actually a guy in the world who gets it. Of course it took him awhile. LOL
So, I have a question for the stay-at-home dads: Do you have that internal thing that just helps you get up with the kids, or do you let them get ready and stuff on their own? I have to mention that I don't like when that internal thing wakes me up early on the weekends! :-/
