AGHHHH!!! I am feeling super overwhelmed and super behind right now. Summer seemed to come to a screeching halt and all that I had planned to be doing all summer still has been sitting in the corner and left untouched (figuratively speaking)....The move is done and the boxes are unloaded. We have pictures everywhere and have yet to put a nail in a wall (aside from Cy's room). We also need to replace a few light fixtures, install some ceiling fans, paint the dining room and the guest bath, buy a new couch/sectional for the family room downstairs, and head to Ikea (1.5 hours away) to get a few bookshelves and a couple things for Cy's room and his craft area downstairs.
For school, I need to figure out definitively what I am doing during each class period for the first week of school each day, I make myself crazy if I'm not a week ahead. So, actually, that is what I should be doing right now rather than updating this but my focus is sporadic. I have a ton of paperwork to complete for both of Cy's schools, paperwork for school on benefits to complete, a classroom/lab room to clean up and out from the teacher that I replaced, a new Macbook to figure out, we are having a 1.5 hour meeting to discuss "Creating Innovators" which was a required reading for the summer that I didn't get to because of all the forensics and microbiology texts I have been reading, and of course, the normal wife/mom duties that are required each and everyday. I am feeling behind in every aspect of my life right now and I'm still trying to find a way to spend some quality time with my son and my husband each day. Plus, I have a triathlon coming up in 2 weeks that I REALLY need to train for and then an 8 mile adventure race the following weekend and I haven't run over 6 in ages (aside from that trail 1/2 marathon a few weeks ago I guess). Blah. Just feeling pulled in a million different directions, and, I have so many fun things to add to this but have a feeling that they are just going to get swept under the rug as I am treading water already and school hasn't even officially started yet.
Breathe, breathe, breathe...I need to tatoo this on my body somewhere.
