I am exhausted..daily.

So life has been nuts. Here is what I do each week.

1) Teach a Kindergarten class of 18, including lesson plans, parent meetings, assessments, etc (all as a long term sub). This takes up around 40 hours a week. I have been there for three weeks and usually get there at 7:45am and leave between 5 and 7pm on the nights I dont go straight to work.

2) Nanny 20 hours a week. So on Tues/Thurs I get to school at 7:45am and go straight from school to work until 8pm. Then an exciting 40 minute commute home. I work at least 6 hours each on Sat/Sun.

3) Oh yeah, this should probably be first. Graduate school. I am taking one class this semester, but I MUST start my summer class assignments because they will require meeting with a school improvement team and other things that must be done while school is in session. Yippee.

4) Volunteer coordinator for an animal rescue. Involves a lot of communication and training, as well as organizing. I put in probably at least 5 hours a week.

5) Sea turtle patrol on Sat/Sun mornings at 6:30am. This is really quite fun, DH and I get to walk the beach in the mornings before full sunrise and look for tracks and nests. Its so peaceful and beautiful at that time of morning.

So this is why I have not been blogging regularly. Between the things listed, and the basic tasks of life I just dont have the time. Its exciting if I get more than 6 hours of sleep a night. So for now my journaling will have to wait.

Summer please get here soon!
