While filling this out, I thought about how busy my life has become in 2006. I remember back to last Jan when Carl went back to work after his paternity leave. He started working until 9:30 everynight but Fridays. I took on the majority of the housework and childcare. Then I went back to work, keeping all the responsibilities that I held while on maternity leave. Finally, as if I wasn't busy enough, I added grad school and prioritized my morning workouts. I can't believe how much I absolutely love every minute of spending time with the girls and keeping our family moving along. This month, since Carl has been selling trees for 15 hours on both Saturdays and Sundays to earn $$ for the house we are saving for, I have been in charge of grocery shopping and christmas shopping with both girls all by myself. Bring it on spring semester of grad school with two classes!!!! Looking back to 2005, I'm not sure what I did with all of my time :)
