Hustle Time

I'm down to the last two weeks of this semester, so I've been in a mad dash to finish up papers, projects, research and everything else. I've got some reviews to finish and one more paper and then I'm done (for a two weeks and then summer session starts). I also graduate this summer,so I have to turn in my graduation paper by June and start working on my portfolio, which I have to turn in by July.
So the last few weeks have been quite stressful, trying to stay atop of my schoolwork, my house work, keeping the kids busy and most important happy. I almost lost it or maybe I did lose it, but my hubby mentioned something about the clothes not being folded or something to that effect. I don't remember much after that because I was so freaking mad. Sometimes no matter how hard you try to stay on top of one thing, something else falters. And working on this balancing being a SAHM and graduate student, I have to realize that 1) I can't do it all, something will fall behind 2) I shouldn't expect to do it all, I'm only one person 3) I need to give myself a break and not feel guilty for it.
So I'm working on my the very end of my action research and will compile all my results for my final paper, if you ever consider going back to school while being a SAHM, let me know and I'll share my paper with you. There are definitely things I learned that I would do over from when I first started the program, but I've only got one more semester left and then I can breathe....well, perhaps not...I'll need to find a job....okay...let's not get ahead of oneself. I'll worry about that later.

Till next time....Dena
