I know, I am a little blog heavy. I cannot wait to see what this new year has in store for me!

Overwhelmed

This week has been a difficult one. Wednesday, I became really ill and had to take Thursday and Friday off work. I really had quite a scare - one that I am still trying to understand.

Thankfully, I have officially recovered, I'm just behind on EVERYTHING! My life is comprised of a serious juggling act to ensure that I am able to stay on top of everything.

• Schoolwork - I don't know if I posted that I started an online MBA program about two weeks ago. I have been trying to catch up for the past two days. I'm not stressing about it, I just had to accept the fact that some of my assignments are going to be late.
• Work work - this is my last week of work before two glorious weeks of vacation. Nevertheless, I have deadlines to meet that have not been met.
• Housework - the never ending saga of my life.
• Blogging - all of my blogs have fallen behind with no updated posts.
• And finally, my Etsy shop. I've not made any new hats, mittens, hair or accessories. Absolutely NADA!

My poor family! I think I have slept most of the last few days. I am just glad they know how much I love them.

Nevertheless...

I better run. Today is bath day for Muddear and we are going to take her to see Walter today. At some point, I can get to at least one of the things listed above.
