March-ing Through to April

** I started this post on March 16, and today is April 6 . . . that should tell you something!

So this is the time of year that I'm on overload and overdrive. It's the nature of my work. I know that I'm always going to feel like I do right now, but somehow in the "off" season I forget about it enough to be stoked to start again each January!!

I'm not as good as I used to be without sleep. So. . .one of these years I'm going to be smart and only teach 2 days a week. I just hate that I then can only teach two days a week in the fall. Still seeking balance all these years later. I hopefully someday will have the courage to say "enough is enough" and actually find it. Well the courage, or the financial stability. I just don't want to end up being one of those people whose life flys by and end up somewhere down the road, wondering how I got there and not remembering things that happened along the way. I look back on the last 10 years and I don't remember a lot. That's frustrating. I know that I've worked hard and I have some great memories and I've come a long long way!!

Then there are those friends that I've lost touch with. All meaning so much to me, but when life passes me by, it passes them by too. Gone are the days where I have even an hour at night to talk on the phone. So this is a shout out to them as well saying that you are still loved and knowing that most of you are just as busy as I am and there is no way even an hour would begin to catch us up for time lost.

Currently I'm on the first spring break I've had since moving to SD in 2005. It's amazing, but there is so much I want to get done and I'm just too pooped to try. So I'm catching up on DVR events from the past month (yes month) and trying to get some sun and trying to spend some Q.T. with my other half as he starts back to school this week for his final 18 months. And I'm spending some time with ME. Hibernating in my new house -- still finding things and putting away things b/c I've not been home enough.

HAPPY SPRING!
