Do you remember that tv show back in the 90s called In Living Color? It had a spot where a Jamaican family all worked at least a dozen jobs each. I'm sure there's clips of it on Youtube--it was quite hilarious.
I'm remembering that because I was like the Jamaican woman in my senior year in college. I was going to school full-time (with a 3.8 GPA), had 2 part-time jobs, was the assistant news director for our college radio station, interned at the local television station news department, was the pledge mistress for our sorority AND planned our wedding! I'm sure I'm leaving things out!
So, being in school again with deadlines and lectures, campus living and the like, I'm able to (for the most part) really manage my time. I think it's almost easy since I don't need to do the day-to-day craziness of life like cooking tons of meals, yardwork, housework, etc.
Housework now consists of wiping down our one counter, vacuuming our one square of carpet, cleaning our one sink, sanitizing our one toilet and scrubbing our one shower stall. Ten minutes later and I'm ready to hit the beach!
What isn't so easy is finding the space to really soak in the teaching how I want to without any little boys clinging to me. I have yet to find that quiet oasis where I can just be. I'm sure it's out there, I just need to find it.
**Stay tuned to a follow-up post on this matter ...
