Oh my GOD THE STRESS IS SETTING IN. I have always thought it pretty goofy when people would say “Man, I sure wish there were more hours in the day” but holy HELL I wish there were more hours in the day. Here is my average day:

0400 wake up, study for SMSgt, workout (strength on my TRX, which, incidentally, I’ve had for about six months but just started using) make my lunch, shower, drop the girls off at school, work, cardio at lunchtime and THEN eat (and yes I shower after) (working out, not eating), work, come home, make dinner (…I DO!  Really!), tidy/laundry/dishes/etc., homework, a little surfing, then bed at (hopefully) 1000.

And that actually doesn’t suck that bad.  It’s manageable, you know?  But today, I didn’t go to the gym*, I worked late (…r), and then had to take Tay to a 6pm hair appt.  Now it’s 9pm and I’m exhausted and haven’t done homework OR extra studying.

*The reason I didn’t go to the gym today was actually pretty funny.  Our fitness reg is changing in the AF, and we are no longer required to have duty time to go to the gym.  So now, where before I would feel not guilty at all for leaving early or coming in late (work-load permitting, of course), I feel like I have to scurry out for my lunchtime gym sessions because I leave about 20 minutes early.  Not because I work for sticklers or anything, but because at this particular level/position I’m working, we are not managed like I would be if I worked for a base…if that makes sense.  Which it probably doesn’t, because I am confusing even myself.  THE POINT HERE is that it’s okay for us to go to the gym, in a sort-of vaguely approved way. However, I am really bad with sort-of vague approvals, because as I pointed out to my boss today, YES, I hate being told what to do but I actually prefer to make my own rules within a defined set of constraints.

For example, if we had set-in-stone duty hours, and those duty hours were 0730 – 1630, with lunch from 11-1230, but within those duty hours I could take 30 minutes of duty time and use it for gym time when it worked best for me, it would be great.

So, SOOO rambling at this point.  Here:

I missed lunchtime gym today because I spent my entire lunch building a power point proposal stating why we should get 30 minutes of duty time to go to the gym…at lunch.

The end.

Now it’s 909 pm and…I’m tired.

Tschuss!!
