Shhh, don't tell anybody......

I'm all caught up, at work and at home. I can't say it out loud for anyone to hear me though, or I will immediately get behind again.

I stayed home Monday and Tuesday night. I just laid around in my PJ's, watched TV, and did laundry. It was relaxing and WONDERFUL! Then last night I had to work at job #2, when I got home a little after 11 pm I realized I had a paper due at 9 am that I had not even began to research. I sat down at the computer and started working on it. Lucky me, it was a topic that interested me and about 45 minutes later I had written 3 pages, proofed it, and submitted it.

When I finished my paper I started getting ready for bed and realized my Mom had folded and put away all my laundry, cleaned my bathroom, and organized every drawer in my vanity. It was such a relief, and nice to know that she recognizes that I try very hard to get everything done, and sometimes it just can't be accomplished.

Today when I got to work I logged into my class online and read the syllabus for the rest of the semester. Then I completed the next assignment that not due until November 7th. I can't submit it until the teacher posts it for submission, but I have it typed up and saved on my computer so it can be submitted on time, without any last minute attempts on my part. I have 3 more assignments and 1 quiz do by the end of the semester, plus the final exam. It sounds like a lot of work, but I have the research and interview done for 2 of the 3 assignments, and the final exam is a series of essay questions that we will have a week or more to complete. I'm feeling good about the end of the semester.

I'm in the process of planning my classes for next semester, and it's nerve racking. I'm thinking about taking classes during my lunch break Monday through Thursday so I don't have to stay here at night and take any classes. Once I decide what I'm going to do I have to get it approved by my supervisor, and when my day to register comes, I hope there will be seat left in the class.

I'm off from job #2 until Saturday, I'm going to relax and hang out with Mom tonight, and on Friday night I'm going to hand out candy at the Fire Department. I'm excited to see all the little ghosts and goblins.

I used to love being able to just sit at home, do laundry and relax. Then I had kids and those days were over :)
