Sharing Frustrations...aka my pity party...

So there is always a lot going on in our world... and I mean a lot, and Strick isn't even old enough to have extra curricular activities yet!!! I am feeling a bit beaten down these past few days so I just wanted to share...


Tim is gone for two weeks in a row, fourteen days that he works 12 - 16 hours daily, that is ROUGH! And he does physical labor - like more than I do in a month he probably does in that fourteen days! I work 8:30-5:30 Monday through Friday... however due to being short handed I'm having to work some additional late nights, which are 10-7. NOT Fun. When this happens my mom picks up Strick from daycare and I have to drive to Walzem/35 area to go get him after I get off...then have to haul it home to give him a bath and to bed between 8-830. I am fortunate enough that she feeds him dinner for me so I don't have that on my plate when I get off. 


On top of my full time work schedule I've started school again... and I'm only taking 6 hours. But I have a three hour composition class and a three hour HR class. LOTS of reading and writing papers. This is REAL hard to keep up with. I get up between 5:30-6 daily and get Strick up at 7 to be at work at 7:45 so I can get in a twenty minute run, then start my day, study during lunch hour, and after work get Strick from daycare, make dinner, put him to bed at 8 and stay up till 930 to study. I think this schedule is finally wearing me out. I so wish I could work 25ish hours a week and have two days off during the week to dedicate towards studying! Yes, we'd have less money, but I'd get so much more done and probably have an easier time maintaining my grades. This is something I think Tim and I are going to have to discuss in the near future. We have already agreed that my last year of college I will be home, but we are also putting Strick in school and having another baby around that time. Very very time consuming all around. 


Ok, it is almost 6:30, I haven't accomplished much today... uh oh! Need to get going!
