long time gone

Has it really been a month since I blogged? Time flies when you're having fun they say but the same is true even if you not enjoying it. The past month has not been enjoyable. I taught a class and took a class at University of Phoenix, kept up the standard 50 hours at work while trying to be a good husband and father. I don't think I did well at any of it. I'll be lucky to get a B, I was late returning grades to my students... not sure work or home went much better.
The storm has passed though. I'm finished with my classes, both as student and teacher, and won't take my next class till July. We're taking a vacation for two weeks so work is on the back burner starting Monday. It should give me some time to reconnect with the wife and kids so all should be improved shortly.
Clearly I need to manage my commitments a bit better. You can never predict work pressures nor family needs so I guess it comes down to school. It probably wasn't wise to take and teach at the same time and I will try and avoid that going forward. The pressure is what takes a toll. The older I get the longer it takes to recover from a pressure wall, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Five solid weeks of mounting pressure is too much.
So I'll spend the month of June relaxing by watching all the Euro 2008 games I can.
