In Control, and Not

Hi, Amanda.

How’s everything in your world now that the boys are back in school? Do you have more or less stress with an empty house during the day? I assume JJ is playing football? What does that do to your evening schedule?...

I’m getting in the groove here but must admit I am having a hard time getting adjusted physically. Despite going to bed early, I snooze my alarm multiple times every morning. Thank goodness I’m still wearing my hair in a clip (can ONLY wear my hair in a clip, in fact, until I have a cut and some low lites put in!) and don’t require much time to get ready. I still have time for my morning coffee and can get to school in time…and then I go from there.

My class schedule is much different this year so that’s got me fucockta all the time too. After two weeks back I still don’t have a handle on things; I feel like I’m planning one day at a time, and I hate that. I’ve been at this too long to feel so frazzled. Eventually, I suppose, I’ll settle in.

How interesting…I think I just figured out why I’ve been so successful at keeping my house clean! I haven’t become a clean freak or anything, but I certainly have prevented the normal amount of entropy from occurring this week. I’m keeping everything as clean as it was last weekend…and it feels great! Anyway, I suppose it makes sense that I’m not feeling very in control at school, but here at home I have a handle on things. I’ll take that. Not a bad trade…

Hope all is well with you.

Love,
B
