I knew I would be short on time once school started, but I grossly underestimated how much work this was actually going to be.  8 hours of work + 4 to 6 hours schoolwork every single day + single mom of 3 = 0 time.

O M G … I am even doing algebra in my journals!  Someone call 911!

I am managing.  I am getting good grades, and kids are happy, and mom is happy, and that is all that matters.  I haven’t been exercising, clearly … and I was afraid this was going to happen.  The once or twice a week I have managed to exercise, I feel guilty doing it thinking that I could be spending some much needed quality time with the kids or getting some school work done.  I’ve not watched TV, except VERY late night catch up on Greys and DHW that I DVRed.  Thank you cablevision for DVR! 

CFF tells me I need to start DRVing Cougar town … apparently one of them reminds her of me?  Yikes. I can only imagine.  I may be sorry I announced that, I don’t even know who she is talking about.

Kids are good.  All are home this weekend so I am attempting to get ahead (ha!) so that we can take a break Saturday afternoon.  There are TWO local fall festivals, plus the Walkway over the Hudson is opening - world’s longest pedestrian bridge - and we want to take a peek.  DS12 is running for class president.  Twins are enjoying 1st grade.  At work I am working hard at pandemic planning, that is always a joy.  Last week I had a very informative HR conference in Manhattan that was a lot of fun.  I am weird … I think it is fun to put on a suit and be important for a day.  The Employee Relations Mgr of COACH was there! But I couldn’t find him! Sigh.

Nothing else to add.  I need to start eating better to compensate for my ass sitting in a chair at my desk for so many hours.  :-(
