Work, School, Mom = Hectic Life

I'm a full time working Mom/Student.

Mackenna now... she will be 2 next month (Yikes)

I work on average of 50-60 hours a week at work, pulling in about 20 hours a paycheck in

overtime. Sometimes I get stressed because some weeks I hardly get to see my daughter Mackenna.

Not only do I work full time I go to School full time 30+ miles away from where we live.

We live in beautiful Lake Tahoe. Where it can snow 3 feet of snow in 

a matter of hours. I love living here, but when you have a busy schedule such as 

mine, the snow can get in the way.

My commute from home can turn from a 30 minute drive to 2 hours if we are having a 

really good intense storm.

Oh, back to the point...

sorry, I can get off topic pretty easy. So, I have a insane schedule, from juggling: school,

work, Mackenna, home life, my relationship with Ian.

It's gets very tiring and stressful.

However, most people think that I'm crazy and wonder how I do all of this:

Ok, here is my secret RED BULL!

I do have a problem and addiction to red bull, but this is hardly how I 

get through all of my daily tasks. I get through it because I have a lot of support. I try and 

balance out my work/overtime onto the weekends working from home when Mackenna is napping. I study

after Mackenna is in bed and I've cooked dinner. 

I may....

* Fall asleep with my books on my face

* Nap and Sleep fully clothed. 

* Hit my snooze button more than 3 times

* I may not wear makeup every morning

* lack in my social life

* sleep in my car at work for my hour lunch

I was in the middle of my undergrad degree in monocular biology and 20 years old when I 

found out I was pregnant with Mackenna Jane. I took 6 months off of school after she was born

and went back to school when she was 6 months old. It was the toughest semester of my life... 

but, that story of the toughest semester is for another day..
