So Tired Of Homework.

I am exhausted. I have so much on my plate this weekend and in the coming week. I can hardly keep all of it straight, and I'm really hoping that I don't forget anything. Yesterday in addition to all my usual Friday Mom stuff I spent about 4 hours working on Biology flashcards in preparation for my study session today and test on Monday. When I finished with that I took a break...to fold laundry. Fun. Did a math assignment and online quiz and finally went to bed. This morning I was up at 8 to get Mosby from the vet and then out the door at 9:30 to meet a friend from Bio for a study session. We worked on the material from 10 until just about 4:30. We did take a break for lunch, but really spent the majority of the time learning the material from the 3 chapters we will be tested on on Monday. I'm glad we did this. I really felt like I was not understanding anything, so sitting with someone who thinks like I do and talking out all the concepts was so helpful. I still have a lot of memorization to do tomorrow and Monday, but I'm feeling so much better about it. I got home around 6, had dinner and helped Eve with her talk for Primary tomorrow. Did some more laundry and sat down to look at the rest of the math assignment for the weekend. I went onto the site where our new math teacher posts our homework assignments. Last week she posted a short homework that was 2 pages. She said this homework would be longer. I was thinking maybe 5-6 pages. It is 12. 12 pages of math due by Tuesday, plus 3 more online quizes, one that needs to be done by tonight at midnight. Did I mention I also have a paper due on Monday for Biology that I still need to really get into and write tomorrow. The homework overload is just crazy this weekend. It will be better after Monday, but that isn't the end of the crazy. Tuesday Brian is hosting a work party. That means that all the housework that is getting neglected during my massive homework weekend will need to be done by Tuesday at 3. Friday night is Isaac's birthday party and Saturday his baptism. On Sunday, I will take a nice long nap, assuming I don't have 12 pages of math homework for the next week! I am so ready for spring break in March. So, think about how tedious this post is to read, and then be glad that this isn't your life, because it's even more tedious to live! I really hope that you are having lots more fun than I am! Fun blogging time is over, the never ending math awaits!

This is why you need to take the summer off! Yuck--this sounds stressful. I know it must be hard to juggle everything; I so admire you for doing this!!
