Late Start to the Week

I feel like I am getting off to a late start this week. By this point (Monday night) I usually have about 75% of my homework for the week done. I prefer to do as much as I can Sunday and Monday so that I don't have to worry about fitting all the homework in between work and extracurricular activities. I've also found that doing this I tend not to miss deadlines. However, it's not just my homework schedule that has been thrown off, but pretty much my whole schedule.

My fiancé and I are both creatures of habit. We have a basic schedule that we stick to each week. Seeing as we both work Monday-Friday, 9 to 5, we usually just have a quiet night in on Friday nights, sleep in Saturday, then have the rest of the day and night to do with it whatever we please; which is usually spent hanging out with friends. Sunday, according to our schedule, is cleaning and grocery day. Easy enough, right?

It didn't seem so easy this weekend. Friday after work instead of just relaxing we decided to head down to my parents to borrow some garden tools being that we decided to start our landscaping project this weekend. We spent a couple hours down there visiting before we loaded up the tools we needed. Once we got back in to town we decided that instead of landscaping the next day we would invite my brother and his girlfriend to go fishing (they were in town for spring break); so off to Academy we went to buy the tools of the trade. The next day we got up at a decent hour, did a little speed cleaning, and then headed down to Jolly Mill. We stayed and fished (with no luck) for about 3 hours. Once we made it back home we barely had time to clean up before it was time to head down to my parents for Easter dinner. Needless to say we spent the majority of our night there.

So Sunday we got up about 9:30 ate some breakfast and then headed to Wal-Mart to get our grocery shopping done. We only buy the stuff that we don't need a whole lot of at Wal-Mart and buy everything else from Sam's. After we left Wal-Mart we headed to Sam's, only to find it closed for Easter (I probably should have seen that one coming). That threw my day off completely considering we buy the bulk of our food there. Once we got home and unloaded the groceries we started in on the cleaning. About 30 minutes into it Zeb decides that he does want to go ahead and start the landscaping project this weekend. Between the cleaning and landscaping we were on the go until 8 pm, which left little time for homework.

So this weekend was a case of too much to do not enough time. It would have been fine had it ended with the weekend, but it didn't. It carried over into today. I normally leave work early every Monday to come home and hit the books, but I wasn't able to today. Normally this would have been fine, except that since Sam's was closed yesterday I had to finish up my grocery shopping after work tonight. Once we got home and unloaded the groceries it was time to make dinner. After dinner and clean up it was time for a shower. Which once again left little time for homework. I hate when my schedule gets thrown off, it makes me feel anxious and overwhelmed. Hopefully everything falls in place tomorrow…
