Still here

Ugh. The cough is still around. And it's drier, which means I'm hacking my brains out to hack something up that just. isn't. coming. Yay me.

I am so tired of constant-busy-non-stop-doing-SOMETHING-all-the-time days. School is nuts - I have no downtime, I have to leave earlier than I used to, and I'm not getting as much done. I get home and it's a constant rush of getting dinner, kids bathed, laundry done, breakfast pre-made and clothes laid out or put on the kids ahead of time. Right now is the first 5 minutes I've had to myself all day long - and I didn't get home until 6:45 because I had a meeting that lasted until 5:30 (I left early, actually, because I had to pick up Alex), then I had to take care of my parents' dogs (while they're in HAWAI'I. Grr.). You'll notice housework is located NOWHERE in that schedule. Aside from laundry - I'm proud of myself if I get one step of the laundry process done each night. But my floor needs to be vacuumed, my living room is a cluttered mess and my kitchen has dishes leisurely piling up in the sink. Yup, I could be doing those right now, but I think my head would probably explode. Scott worries about me when I get overwhelmed like this and starts telling me to sit down and that he'll do this or that. Thank god, because I'd go nuts if he didn't.

Anyway, I just needed some downtime to vent. It's not like we can change much right now - we can't afford for me to quit work, so this it shall be. For awhile anyway. Gotta run - showering and more laundry to do.
