I'm going under, Drowning in you...
Suddenly I'm freaking about how behind on my work I am. Every week I seem to panic about a different module and have to immerse myself in it completely whilst shouting at my daughters if they talk in my vicinity, ask me a question or do anything other than bring me cups of tea and offer me back massages.
I'm definitely not allocating enough of my own free time to doing my work. I need to work on using my study periods for study rather than using them for housework, washing, shopping, business paperwork and catching up with family/friends who happen to think I've been abducted since enrolment.
Last week we had a huge Halloween party at home and I spent most of my study days organising it. Twas a great night but in reality it's now to blame for my growing workload.....
(I dressed up as a Pumpkin by the way, a cute and slightly sexy one I hope, not one resembling Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And the house is still all 'Spooked' up, even down to the bloody footprints walking across the bathroom floor. I do love Halloween!)
I'm also finding this week a bit stressy as my kids are off school on Half Term, meaning that I'm missing half of this weeks lessons rather than sort out babysitters. So now I'm trying to strike a balance over the next few days between spending some much needed time with my girls and keeping up with homework. So far The SwingOmeter is not really swinging at all, more it is fixed by powerful magnet pointing straight at my daughters.
We've been in the glass workshops for lessons recently. I was always worried about how I would cope around broken glass as I've always found it a quite frightening material. It turns out that I was right to worry. During our first glass cutting lesson last week I managed to burst into tears as the broken panes of glass kept reminding me of that icky scene at the end of 'Ghost' where Karl gets speared by the window pane. I really could curse my own brain sometimes as it often seems to work against me.....
Well onwards and upwards, I did much better in glass today, mind over matter and all that jazz. I suppose I should really return to my homework....I think my time management skills need some serious attention!
