Should be

This week I have midterms. This weekend I should have studied a bit more, but the weather was beautiful and we had a 3 day holiday. I should be studying right now. But in a few minutes, I will snuggle up with little T and read a stack of books. Tonight I should be studying, but a friend is having a birthday party. Now in between the two, I will be hitting the books hard, but I have a feeling the tests will be hard and I could some extra time. But given a choice between reading to my girlie and studying what do you think that I will choose? I feel this need, this pressure to do well. But really, that is mostly self-imposed. I have come to realize that while there is nothing wrong with doing well. Doing well and sacrificing time with the things that really matter (like the kiddos) puts it into perspective. Now I am off to read as I should do. :-)
