That's what I keep telling myself, that is. There's just SO much going on this month that I feel like I'm treading as hard as I can just to stay afloat. I have the ongoing renovations at the other house which need to be done in no more than two weeks. I'm getting a crash-course in crime scene processing and am rotating into the call-out schedule along with the other techs, due to the crime lab suddenly being very shorthanded--which eats into my time to work on the house. And then there's the mother with the broken hip that just adds a bit more fun and excitement to the whole mix. Gah. Plus the usual wife-and-mother duties. My house is a disaster area.

I can't really complain too much about the work situation even though it is eating up enormous quantities of time, since it can't help but advance my career to get that training under my belt. And, of course, I get paid overtime every time I get called out. But, man, the timing on it sucks ass. Oh, yeah, and I also need to sit down and study for the sergeants exam that's coming up in January.
