So ladies, what is weighing on your hearts and minds today?
This morning I went to get Grace up at about 7:20 and she rather cheerily said, “Mommy, is it my first day of school?” “No,” I said, “Not until Monday!” “Then I am going back to sleep!”
All this from the little girl who has been bright eyed and bushy tailed by quarter after six all summer!
With the impending start of school, I know Grace will be fine, I know my husband will be fine (he has been itching to be back since, oh, the last day of his internship!), but me I am not so sure about.
My sweet baby boy will enjoy the quite of the house with everyone else occupied…and he is liable to get some extra mom time when I give up and quit trying to get it all done.
I logged into Blackboard to see if my course is posted. Indeed, it was. I have never been so scared by a syllabus! I am only taking one class these eight weeks, but between the text book – whose pages look like the internet on crack- and the syllabus with two 56 page problem sets a week I can already feel myself checking out.
That is NOT a good place to start, now is it?
We have finished the whole summer’s end To Do List, which is a good feeling, but I still have many projects on my plate and school LOOMING on the horizon. I find myself at a loss. I can’t seem to pin down where to start or what to do. There is so much to tackle and a feeling that I will never accomplish it all…or even enough of it…
Where do you start? How do you overcome those feeling? Or avoid them in the first place?
Ladies, please do tell!
