Stress

I'm sure there is a reason for stress. Actually I know there is a reason for stress. I just don't comprehend how every single important thing can happen in the time span of a few weeks. How can you prioritize if everything is just as important as the other? For example, I only have one class this semester due to the job I have. This class requires weekly journaling, some small assignments, and a big research paper. Doesn't seem too hard when you first look... the problem comes when the research paper assignments fall on the weeks that the Communications students get accepted into their program, I have 8 meetings in two days, then for the next two weeks my schedule has been booked with students. And not to mention the same week that I had to write my letter of intent for graduate school. Then in the same two weeks that I was busy at work I was supposed to be working on my essay and studying for the GRE. Then I had an OPAC Conference which was great, but all it did was emphasize the fact that no we don't have time for everything, get over it. How comforting. And of course I need to spend enough time with Kendall, making sure that we are still loving to be together. Nothing else gets done if I don't take the time to be with him, even if it is just when we are making dinner together. (I also like to squeeze in my American Idol time, just to have 1-2 hours where my brain can just be mush.) I also wish I could spend more time planning for my kiddies in Primary. Oh how I love to do something fun for them, and make their Sunday one to remember. I've been recently feeling this extra love for them. I don't know what I can do to show that to them. Then there are taxes, summer schedules, missing families in two states that are so far away, friends who think we dropped off the planet, etc. I do realize that this is the reason we have the Savior and the atonement to help us through these times. However, I still question why everything falls at the same time. The funny thing is... This is nothing. These are all things that will be gone in less than a month. My life is so good, and I really am happy. If your life is like this or much much more... You are not alone.
