Starting Uni, is this a mid-life crisis?

If you want something done, give it to a busy person #Benjaminfranklin. 

We’ve all heard that saying and I’ve had it said to me on several occasions, but I can’t seem to be able to say no. I want to be the best person I can be for my family and for my employer.

Both my husband and I work full-time and raise our beautiful boys aged 10 and 8 (much younger in the photo #needanupdatedfamilyphoto), we look after our house and the chores that come with that, plus a 40 acre hobby farm and have just purchased a property with amazing ocean views, but requires the old house to be demolished #anotherjobtothelist.

We live in Dongara – Port Denison in Western Australia, which has the best climate and beautiful beaches so we live an active lifestyle. Sunday mornings is Surf Club, I coach the boys basketball team and their dad coaches them in soccer and helps with cricket. I also volunteer on a fund-raising committee where we raise funds for those in need.

I recently received a  promotion at work that meant I had to get a university degree. Ahhh at the age of 42 I’m going to Uni! I work in Local Government as the Manager Community Capacity. I’m responsible for a large part of the budget so I’m very much looking forward to my first unit in accounting.

I completely underestimated how much time is required to complete the unit, plus the second unit I’ve enrolled in (studying part-time of course). Wish me luck everyone, I’m going to need it.
