Since being home, I took a month off work to re-adjust and all that fun stuff. During that month, I was bored out of my mind quite a bit, having gone from a crazy schedule to absolutely nothing planned. It was good in a lot of ways, but now my life is the complete opposite.
Every day is a little different but my weeks consist of work, school, dance, and martial arts.
Working 50 hours a week (and sometimes more) is crazy. I love my little kiddos to pieces though and am so very happy to see them as much as I do. Some of them are old enough for school, and one is starting school next week, so I treasure the amount of time I have now with them before they are not around nearly as much.
School starts this week and this past week has been full of planning out the next semester's homework and study times and such. I am taking Old Testament History and Education Portfolio Development, which is basically just writing a million papers in eight weeks. I am actually quite looking forward to school starting though. It will be nice to have some mental challenges again.
Dance has been good and yet weird. I am not too fond of changing studios, but sometimes I have to do so. Seven months off has definitely caused some challenges in class, but it is coming back quickly and I am getting used to having two new teachers.
Since coming home, I have started martial arts (ninjutzu) with my brother. It is rather enjoyable, though ballet and ninjutzu don't mix very well. It takes a lot of focus and is stretching me in many new ways. I only have 4 more weeks of that before going back to just ballet again.
On top of all that, there is still teaching sunday school, keeping up with friends from school and at home, and having to be an adult. None of it is easy, but all of it is growing me and I am learning innumerable amounts of things.
