Busy as a Bee......

Working 2 jobs keeps me so busy, I tend to forget about some of the simplest things. For instance, I have a dentist appointment today at Noon. The good news is that my boss is very understanding and is allowing me to take an extended lunch break.

The first thing I did when I got to work this morning was update my planner and my e-mail calendar with all the upcoming items I need to tend to. I don't think life is going to slow down until after the new year, it is just one thing after another until then.

I had planned to work a regular 5 day work week, with regular 8-5 hours, but my appointment today puts a bit of a kink in that plan. I'm going to take a couple of 30 minute lunches the rest of the week to make up for the time I'm missing today. Next week should be appointment/event free during working hours. Then, the week after that it all starts.

Between now and January 1st.....

• My mom will have surgery on November 17th.
• I have to state test for my Education degree on November 14th and 15th.
  
• Mom will have another surgery on December 22nd.
• Grandparents coming for Thanksgiving November 25th and staying through December 23rd
• Sister-In-Laws family is coming for Thanksgiving (uninvited, I should add) with her sister - who I despise worse than anything in my life. I will now have to sit at the dinner table with her and act cordial...I think not. (I could write a post about how much I strongly dislike her, but I'll spare you the details).

Then, there is Christmas shopping, balancing 2 jobs, final exams, Christmas parties, fire department meetings, fire department Christmas parade, fire department training the I am required to attend before the end of the year.

Breathe....wow. I have to go now, pray for NO CAVITIES!!!
