Work is eating me alive.  It is killing me.  I have not been home a single Friday night or Saturday for three weeks now--and if you thought I got bent out of shape at the beginning of school when the kids were occupying my precious a.m hours--I am enraged by the infringment of my time that must be spent away from them.  I am so angry about things outside of my control right now, I am silenced --almost.  This week I seriously considered taking a full week off  running just because I have not physically felt cuaught up since SGM or emotionally with what has been going on at work--but sadly running in the dark with my friend Marsha is about the most enjoyable thing I get to do all day.  And then I'm done enjoying the day by 6:30 a.m.  I just feel like I'm never going to get a leg up.  It's been a heroic effort to feed my children and provide them with clean underwear.  They are totally on their own where homework, piano, and soccer are concerned. I used to be so good at keeping this all together.  I miss the brains and engery I used to have even just two years ago.

I'm so sorry life is crazy and hectic right now, just remember it will all be over with eventually. AND you have running to pull you through until then. Keep your chin up, we're all pulling for you!

O Luzy! I'm sorry to hear that work is infringing on your precious time with your children. It will end soon, right? Doesn't the scriptures say: "it came to pass" NOT "it came to stay". So it too will pass. Your kids are strong like you, they will survive this hectic time. I know you will too! Hang in there! Run whatever and however you can and enjoy while you do! LOVE YOU!

I can't believe you have any sympathy for me at all. Coming from the bootstrap superhuman titanium tough-as-nails women you are. Sorry to be such a baby. I have a very low stress threshold. Thanks for the encouragement. If I live thorugh the next 24 hours, I'll be alright.
