Determined and Goal oriented? or just a glutton for punishment?

I wake up in the morning and cringe. I don't know if I should say that I wake up or not because sleep isn't really something that I do, it is more something that I attempt. But I immediately know what is ahead in my day and I cringe. Its not because I hate my life or all the things that I have to do but because just the fact that I have to do them all. I'm tired and I'm stressed and I'm human.

I study or crank out papers and projects before classes. I take notes and succeed in staying awake during classes and lectures, I do more papers, studying, paperwork, and such between and after classes and then head to work. I work on my feet until 11pm or midnight and then head home to a wonderful man who wants to complain about his day and tell me what else needs to be done this week. During all of this, I need to figure out how I am going to fit in both of our schedules and errands into the week and all of our bills and necessities into the budget. i run most of the errands and run to pay almost all of the bills. I know many people who do more than I do and I wish I could bow down to them in amazement but my knees won't give right now and my arms are too full but I am truly AMAZED!

I don't truly mean to complain, even though it is really what I know it sounds like, but I am starting to hit the end of my rope. My boyfriend will tell you and anyone else who asks... I am the househopld secretary because I am good at it and he is hopeless at it. I don't mind usually but somedays I could throw the check book at him. Our house looks like a tornado hit it because what time I do have at home, I am either working on school work or trying to rest, sleep or recooperate from work. He is tired after work too but doesn't put in as much as I do and I'm about to put down a few new rules.

I hate to be a dictator but I can only give so much. And I'm about to have a nervous break down! He's going to have to help. We have had someone come in in the past once or twice to do some basic cleaning but I don't really see why we should have to pay some to clean up if he can do it just as easily. If I am being left with all final decisions than here is one more to add to the books. I've hit the limit.
