Good evening ladies.  Where to start?

Every moment of my day is earmarked for something, I have NO downtime whatsoever.  And I thought I was busy before?  Pfft!  I’m still enjoying college very much, but the classes are sooo time consuming.  Which I knew, I just figured I would magically work it out somehow.  And I will.

I ate like, horrendously this weekend.  Not quantity, just quality.  Or lack there of.  5 Guys, cheescake, etc.  Did a lot of school work, finished week 1 in one piece.  I did take a break on Saturday to take the kids on a hike, and another on Sunday to take them to an orchard/farm.  I managed to consume a hot dog, 3 cider donuts (small, but STILL! argh) and most of a pc of pumpkin pie there.  Geez.

I just finished Get Chiseled.  I just had to tell myself some things can wait, I need to exercise.  And I did.  Go me!  But tomorrow I have work, schoolwork, and a board meeting, AND prepping for Wednesday… Wed is a short day at work because I am driving down to pick up my mom so she can watch kids for me Thurs; Thursday is an HR Conference in Manhattan … so, 14 hour day there … Friday, work, taking kids to city, and home Saturday where I will do schoolwork the remainder of the weekend.

Oh yeah, I suppose somewhere in there I need to find time to shower, laundry, clean house, cook, etc.  :(

I am a little sad tonight … just thinking of CFF and not missing her specifically (that itself is pretty sad) but just missing the fact that I had someone I considered a BFF for so many years, since I was a kid … and not having that anymore.  Well, I have SBFF and she is wonderful, but there is distance between us (physical, lol) and it isn’t the same.  I don’t really have any close girlfriends here.  Not that I have spare time either, I guess.  But it is sort of sad.  It hit me that we do trick or treating together every year .. and what if we don’t this year?  How do I explain that to my kids?  I guess that is what I am afraid of more … I don’t want them to suffer because of our broken friendship.  We still IM here or there, but it isn’t the same. 

Okay, I am glad I made myself check in.  Need to shower.  No more food tonight.  I need to plan the rest of the week.  This isn’t a good week … breakfast and lunch at the conference Thurs, and dinner on the way home, then Friday also dinner out at night and Saturday (staying at R’s, coming home Sat).

I am rambling and all over the place.  It feels nice to just write without obsessing over details like essays … lol
