I have to take a break

I came to a tough decision this weekend: I have to give up LIW for a while.

I live with my FH, and we are both working full time and going to school at night, and we only see each other for about 2 hours a day. During that time, I'm either doing homework or schoolwork (I'm a teacher) because I spend so much of my free time during the day on LIW. If only I'd grade papers during my lunch hour, or spend 2 hours straight writing a grad school paper (instead of 4 hours in front of the computer, distracted by LIW half the time), this wouldn't be a problem. We joke about this site being an 'addiction' but it is - I literally can't stop browsing around on here and getting to work when I need to. FH and I hardly ever talk anymore, and because of our new schedules and workload, we're both stressed and crabby enough as it is. I thought being on LIW would be a good way to diffuse some of that stress, but I think it's just adding to it. My wedding is over a year away - the planning can wait another month or two.

So I'm saying bye for now. Grad school is over the last week in May; hopefully I'll have tons of extra time by then and will be back on LIW full force. I think it would be nice to keep in touch via e-mail actually (I'll need SOME girl talk!) so if anyone wants to FM me, I'd love that.

Thanks for listening. See you soon.
