Hey-

How is everyone doing? I'm hanging in here, although have the time I feel like I'm swallowing more water than I should. It's kind of hard to keep my head above water, but I'm doing it.

School is probably the worse part. There isn't anyone class that is too terribly hard, minus Algebra, but they are all filled with a lot of busy work. As daunting as my tasks are at times, I'm finding I'm learning a lot. And at least three of my four classes will and have helped me with my writing.

Now if only I could talk dh and the kids into taking care of themselves and all the other household chores, I'd be doing great. ;)

Hope everyone has been writing. For me, I spend more time writing essays than anything, but I have been able to work on some of my projects. Just not the ones I wanted.

Good to hear you're still getting some writing done. Have you only enrolled in a few classes for this quarter or are you in for a while?

I don't get that family not cutting you some slack thing, but then other than my one kiddo, I don't have to worry about that. I remember how easy it is to give in and do everything, but if you want to keep your sanity, I suggest putting your foot down and leaving the stuff undone. If you ignore it long enough, someone will give in and help out.

That's my theory anyway. LOL! Can't prove it or anything...

I wish that worked. The only other person willing to step in is dh, and he's got his hands full with the business. I don't want him to feel like he needs to come home from the shop at nine, or whatever time he rolls in to do dishes.

I think they are starting to get the point. One actually offered to make dinner last night. Crazy!

I haven't decided if I'll take classes during the summer or not. After this semester, assuming I pass Algebra :) I only have nine hours left for my associates. I don't know if I'll continue after that or not.

Sounds like the kids are catching on. And though I'm sure your DH works really hard, so do you. Give yourself a little credit. Maybe work out a schedule just while you're in school. Everyone take turns then no one has to do the dishes every night. I have no idea if this is even an option, but I'm a problem solver. LOL! It's in my nature to help. Feel free to ignore me. :)

Actually, algebra is really easy for me. I'd help, but I'm not sure that's something we could do over email. LOL!
