I knew this would happen! I know myself too well…

I’m having a very hard time with life balance this month. And probably next month. **sigh**

I’m getting into the swing of things with my school responsibilities. Homework is so time consuming! It was so much easier when I was a carefree undergrad. I’m in class until 9 p.m. on Monday night, but then the rest of the week is spent getting ready for the next class. Reading, research, writing… repeat.

Soccer is also back in season. So, two nights each week I run straight from work to daycare to the soccer field. Which also means, I don’t get dinner going until close to 8 p.m.

Good Lawd! I am so tired. My day starts at 6 a.m. and ends around 11 p.m. {if I’m lucky}.

Somehow, between work, school, soccer, kids, and an assortment of other responsibilities, I have managed to finish a couple of projects:

First, I’ve given the site a new look. I loved the “borrowed” elements, but I felt that I needed to incorporate my own design. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Second, I completed a shirt that I started this summer {McCalls M5977}. And, it’s beautiful.

And I can’t wait to wear it… next summer.

Third, I’ve also completed my next DIY Fall Wardrobe piece – a chic chevron pencil skirt! It was such a simple pattern {McCalls M6038}.

I’d love to model it for you.

But I can’t get in it.

The size I measured and cut wound up being too small.

Do you think I have room to add “Diet” to my current weekly schedule?

Hmmmm…
