Overwhelmed

We have had a crazy couples of months with re-renting the Noblesville house, moving and settling into our new home and me starting classes again (fear not- it is just for CPA exam review- I'm not seeking yet another degree. Yet.) Anyway, it has been a lot. I have been working out with a trainer about 4 days a week and while I'm getting stronger I do not see the pounds disappearing as I hoped they would. I have class for 4 hours on Monday and Wednesday nights from now until December 14th. I have a CPA exam on August 22, October 10 and November 23. I will have one more to take in early 2012. Yes, there are four parts to the exam. Yes, they all suck. No, my work life has not slowed down at all to balance out with studying for and taking the exam. To top it all off I will be in India (yes- across the globe) for 8 weeks starting in early January for work. It is a lot of administrative work here in the States to be allowed to go work somewhere for 8 weeks so that has been fun, too. Whew. I'm exhausted thinking about it all, honestly. I have taken some life simplification steps. I quit Facebook. I mean it this time. I think it has become a real time suck for me and I need every minute of my day these days. (I also think it breeds unhappiness and annoyance with others. I mean people are either complaining or showing off with their posts.) I am moving my workouts to be in the morning so that I can spend some evenings (when I'm not working late) with Jackson. I'm taking large chunks of time each weekend and dedicating them to studying. I'm not going to do any additional fiddling with the house (after the window treatments are done, of course) until I return from India. I think if I just make a few shifts that balancing everything will come a lot easier. I'm still going to blog as I get free time and something to blog about, but let's be honest my life is going to be a lot of suckage until Thanksgiving. Yay. ;)
