Half way through Term 1

Another week has passed and we are now half way through term 1.  This means only another 4 and a half weeks to go till all the assessments are due.
I am finding it so hard to keep up with some of the classes.  The word documents, myob and excel classes I am doing ok with because we just work through the books and there isn't much homework.  We get most of the assessments done in class.  The write simple documents class I am finding the work is easy enough but I find getting the words down from my head to the paper a challenging thing to do at the moment.  We also have lots of homework to do that is not assessment work.  We have to write everything down as a draft and then type it up on the computer.  We haven't even got to the assessments yet!!  We do spelling tests which I enjoy doing .
With the customer service assessments I am also finding these challenging.  I know the stuff because I have been doing it for many years but again it is getting the words on the page. 

The long weekend I spent so much time doing homework and assessments that I didn't get much time with the family or even household chores.  I am particular finding that I have trouble fitting in other things into my schedule like chores and a social life.

Today we did a good exercise involving us calculating the hours in our week to find out what we are doing and what is more important.  I found it hard to work out where my 168 hours a week go to but I think it was a very good exercise to do. 

I have found it hard to work on my 5 year work plan because I don't usually plan that far in advance.  I do like to plan and be organised and it is important when you have a family.  With my childs health never being very good it has always been hard to organise too far ahead.  You never know what is going to happen.  My husband is always complaining about the lists that I like to write but I find that if I don't then things get forgotten.  I am not sure how to do the 5 year plan.  Should it be in a table or just written out.
