Holy Hecticness

Ok so Carmen and I were talking about my volunteer training and how the RN was asking me, "Isn't it hard to go to school and work and volunteer?" My reply "Yes, yes it is."
So then we started compiling a list of things that we're supposed or expected to do or WANT to do - we're trying to be the best we can ok?!
  • School - that's only one bullet point, but it's really a billion trillion things.
  • Extra Credit
  • Church Calling

Holy crap! I am now officially overwhelmed by life. Maybe the trick is to just ignore it all. Don't think about and then you can delude yourself into thinking that it is all possible. Another thing? Reading the lessons for Relief Society and Sunday School weekly. Also reading the Ensign all the time (especially the conference issue). WE CAN DO IT BRITT! :) maybe...
