Sucker for Punishment
After taking 2 years out because of my health/family situation I’ve finally re-enrolled in my course, with the next module starting October 1st. I’m also returning to work on November 15th (ish). So, what with juggling my websites, Isabel, driving lessons and now this… think my brain is going to explode.
Warning
This post is over 6 months old. This means that, despite my best intentions, it may no longer be accurate. Age, motherhood, experience, loss... these things have all changed me from when this blog was started back in the heady (ha) days of my youth.
As much as I would like to go back and edit 10 years of archives to provide an insight into the 'me' of now — to update coding snippets and revise website advice — it would probably take years to do so (by which point I'd have to start again!) This would defeat the point of keeping these archives anyway.
Please take these posts for what they are: a brief look into my past, my history, my journey.

Nah, your brain won’t explode…it will adjust and then be very happy for getting all the extra workouts and stuff. I hope school stuff and work goes well when you get started back on them. :)

You’re insane!

*holds Jem’s brains with both hands* Don’t explode!

No advice, just sympathy. I am having a brain explodey day over here.

Hey if you can handle that work load then power to you! I really think you should just stick with the babe and work for a bit to get used to it then eventually slink yourself into coursework.
I was going to go back this fall semester but money issues aside I felt I was going to be too stressed out with trying to juggle a new job, my biz and be ME. So I just canceled the classes (I hadn’t paid yet anyway) and will just go back spring when I’ll have less on my plate.
Either way good luck! And DAMN time has flown by… going back to work already! :P

Good Luck! I think you can do it. You have Karl to help you & your mother. Just don’t be shy about asking for help.
-
It appears that you are mine after all XD You can do this Jem, I have faith in everything you do *hugs* xxx

That’s definitely going to be hard but I know you can do it. I’m sure once you get into a routine it’ll be smooth sailing. Good luck!

I commented awhile back when you first said you were going to take driving lessons. I am also doing quite a bit at this time (well, at least for me). At the beginning of this period of craziness I had a dream that my brain was seeping out of my skull. But, anyway, things are still crazy but they are manageable. I’m sure things will be the same for you!

You’ll be fine..:) It’s like me – new building, so many new systems to learn about, so much to read, so much to do, no time at work between sorting requests to do it, and then with Izzy at home little time there.
My brain hasn’t exploded yet..although this morning it feels like it’s being sat on, but I suspect yours is worse.

I think my last post may have been lost in the wash as it appears to have gone unnoticed (sob sob)
However, as Hev so rightly said in her post, you do indeed have both Karl and myself to help and I have every confidence in your abilities to succeed in whatever you choose to do Jem, you just have to believe in yourself :)
Hugs from me xxx -
Wow… you sure don’t hold back. It’s all or nothing, eh?
Like Jordan said, if you can handle all that, more power for you. Just don’t overwork yourself. And good luck getting back into the work-world.

I’m told that women become super epic once they become mommies. At least the customers who approached me while I was working at a grocery store seemed epic. You shall be epic awesome!
