I’m in one of those situations again. Too much to do, too little time. I am never quite sure how I get into these situations until they are all around me. I guess I don’t think ahead very much, and I tend to bite off more than I can chew when it comes to extracurriculars or just life in general. I think I can do a bunch of stuff, but I just end up stressing/burning myself out. I need to learn to say no to opportunities …

Having finished GRT training, I feel like I need to start doing things at this point … maybe make some brownies for the kids? Having orientation start next Monday, I feel like I need to take care of everything, all the last minute details. Having been away from lab for 3 days for GRT training, I feel like I need to get some serious work done. Having done nothing productive all summer, I feel like I need to get some serious work done. Having the triathlon be less than two weeks away, I feel like I need to improve my swim time. Having the school year start, I feel like I need to have our lab webpage up and running. Having Ryan’s extended family come visit, I feel like I need to clean my place up. Having Kaplan training start (again) in two weeks, I feel like I need to do a lot of the prepratory work. Having school start, I feel like I need to pick classes to take.

And the list goes on and on and on and on … I think I’m drowning …
