Two Scoops.

Tired.
  
This is my schedule for the last 3-ish days:
5:30-Wake up and go running/work out (and maybe go back to sleep for an hour).
6:15-Shower.
6:30-Wake up kids/finish getting ready.
6:45-Really wake up kids/make them eat breakfast.
7:15-leave for school drop off's.
7:45-kids off to school, onto job #2.
8:00-check in at job #2.
(enter scenes of me filing, answering phones, greeting patients, learning dental lingo, etc...)
1:00-lunch.
(sometimes lunch with mom, sometimes pick up kids for early release, sometimes take care of sick kids, maybe run a few errands)
2:30-go to pick up kids from school.
3:00-3rd grade homework.
4:00-Enter the middle schoolers/7th and 8th grade homework.
4:30-drive to tutoring appointment/soccer practice.
5:30/5:45-dinner.
6:00-8:00-games or movie or mutual.
8:00-3rd grade bed time.
9:00-7th and 8th grade bed time.
9:30-GRE study/HGTV fix.
10:30/11:30-bed.
Repeat.
A few more times in a row.


And then every once in a while (like tonight), I actually get to sleep in my own apartment.
Whew.
 Tired.

Conclusion: I have 2 jobs, I live pretty much equal time between the house I nanny at and my own apartment, I split my social time between my family and my friends, I even have 2 callings.  It's all about balance right?
Question: So I'm just wondering... where's the two boys vying for my attention??
I mean wouldn't that just bring a complete balance to my life?
I'm already juggling two helpings of everything else!
And I wouldn't mind at all two extra scoops of that. 
Juuuust sayin.
Grateful for: A second job! Such a blessing! And visiting teachers, and home teachers.  And also Kerby-Lane-gluten-free-pancake-lunch-breaks with my Mom, and perfectly-timed (and much-needed) calls from my roommate, and the fact that both my immediate family and also my absolutely wonderful extended family live close enough for me to see them a lot.  Very grateful.
