Juggling

I'm still trying to get a hold of this juggling business.

Juggling school, work and home life.

I currently have zero clean jeans nor underwear.

I have a test that I have to take on Saturday, that I MUST study for.

Month end for work just got over so I'm feeling a little frazzled.

I know it seems like I say this a lot but whew!

I don't mean to complain.
I love all of the aspects of my life, but seriously if I didn't have to look at the calendar everyday for work, pretty sure I would still be back in August.

I miss photography.

I miss taking pictures and having the time to edit them. I have 3 jobs that I have done that are still sitting in iPhoto, unedited and looking sad.

I need to make time to do that.

I want to work on the house. We have a complete disaster of a living room with boards and sheetrock and carpet, but we haven't had the time to complete it.

Plus our electrician is commuting from Idaho so that limits our work time. :)

Hopefully this weekend we'll start wrapping that up. Our goal is to have it done by Halloween.

RJ cringed and said it might possibly happen, but he's not holding his breath.

But, there's nothing I would change about life.

I might change how many hours of sleep I need a night so that I can get more done, but other than that I am happy.

Happy that I have a home to decorate and a husband that at least washes his own laundry :) [If he does it, the majority that are washed are his. It's a mystery to me why]

I'm happy that I have great family to fill up my time and to keep me laughing.

I'm grateful for a live in brother in law that loads our dishwasher almost every night even though he is just as busy as RJ and I and rarely uses any of the dishes.

I am thankful for my support system. I know I can count on so many people to help me through my stress and also do so much for me.

My mother in law text me yesterday because I wasn't able to make it to Girls Night Out.

This is what she wrote:

"Hi Charise, just wanted you to know that you'll be missed tonight. I'm so proud of you for going back to school. You're a wonderful daughter-in-law who I love very much!"

This makes all of my stress worth it. To know that I am loved and appreciated for what I do. I love my mother-in-law very much and she is so good to RJ and I.

She knew just what to say yesterday to make my entire day. :)
