Something has got to give

I love the blog and I love that at the end of the year I have a record of what our family has done but I feel like I am failing this year. I always tell myself that I will be less busy when the kids start school or when I work less that week but I think it is time for me to face the reality that we are in a season of our life that is really busy! We have two 7 year olds that we spend a lot of time with trying to keep them caught up with all the stuff they need to be doing for school. Abby has preschool this year which is fun for her and I thought it would be nice to have 3 mornings a week to myself but the reality is I don't get that. I have started working in Endoscopy which now I guess makes be a butts and guts nurse. Not a job I ever thought I would take but I need hours and this schedule worked with our crazy busy lives. It isn't so bad (most days) some days I do regret my entire career choice but what do you do. I still occasionally work in the NICU when they have opening but that has been few and far between lately. You know things aren't looking good for the unit when your director almost cries at the staff meeting. I guess right now I just feel lucky to be employed given the state of the hospital at this point. Robb stays busy at work and has to be super dad 2-3 days a week and gets everyone out the door and to the right place in the morning. He doesn't just have to play super dad those 2-3 mornings a week but most nights when he gets home too. I haven't been nearly as sick with this pregnancy as I was with Abby but most nights I can't bring myself to cook supper, at least not any meat and I am tired so after that he plays with the kids while I head to bed early. I really couldn't ask for a better guy! Since our days weren't quite full enough I had decided to go back to school to get my Bachelors degree. I am taking online classes but they are time consuming and ridiculous at times so I also have to make time to study and do all the online assignments. I guess what I am saying is I don't know that the blog can continue. As sad as that makes me something has to give and my house has already given so if I don't update a lot that's why and from now on I probably won't go in order. That has been holding me back trying to get all the back entries done so if I find time I will probably try to talk about stuff we are doing now and add in the old stuff as I have time.
