Just gotta make it through the week...

My schedule is wearing on me. I rarely write about it here, but I'm involved in local government, and this week I have meetings Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights after work. Typically these meetings last until 9-10 pm, occasionally longer. I also have our last birth class on Thursday night, and we normally don't get home from those until 10pm as well. On top of these, we're in the middle of a large software implementation at work, for which I'm the project leader. A sub-team is really struggling with their tasks, some of which have been delayed multiple times, and it's requiring me to put in much longer hours and quite a bit of weekend time.

Something's gotta give... I'm debating giving up some of my seats in on government committees, and/or resigning entirely. I'm not sure if I can do the baby thing with work, government, the apartment, and everything else I have going on. I'm so thankful that I finished my MBA when I did or I'd be drowning right now.

hang in there, savvy! learning to just say "NO" to several of my extracurricular activities has allowed me to relax and enjoy life so much more than going from one meeting to the next. whatever you decide, you WILL get through this week and it WILL be okay!

I hope that you're able to survive the week! Cutting back before you have the baby is probably a wise thing.

Oh, Savvy.

I feel for you. It's hard cutting back--but from what I have read, you do too much, especially with a little one on the way.

Things are going to change for you big time... and it's probably one of those times that you have to stop and reasess what your priorities are really going to be.

I am doing some serious personal life reasessment myself, and it isn't pretty-but its necessary.

I know you'll come through it and find a great new path that will be just as fulfilling and exciting, maybe even more so.

(I just hope your blog makes the priority list and isn't one of the things you cut out!)

Best of Luck,

MGB
