Work, school, and life

I don't know how anyone keeps up with these posts. My last post was clear back in June and I've just barely gotten on to write a second one.
Work is just as crazy as it always seems to be. We are prepping for our first ISO audit since our recertification in April. There is so much that needs to get done. We have to review our processes, update all of our corrective actions, and get our audits done before the auditor shows up in three weeks. This wouldn't be too bad except that there is a ton of other stuff that I am working on too.
I just recently got back to school this semester. I figured that I'd try to finish up my Associates degree in one swoop since I only needed 17 credits to graduate. 4 of the credits were computer classes that deal with things I do every day for work. I figured that it wouldn't be that difficult. I was a bit wrong. I don't know that I would say it is difficult, but more the fact that there aren't enough hours in the day for me to finish my work, homework, and live life. Math has been a little tricky for me since I haven't really seen it for the past five years. I'm doing alright at remembering it though.
The real kicker is my English class. The same problem that has gotten in my way is the same thing that I'm running into now. I have an unwarranted issue with writing a boring paper. I think that it is a waste of paper and thought, if you don't think that it will be interesting to your audience. I'm trying to work through it. I'm still hopping to finish the paper and the class though.
Outside of school and work, there is life. That as also been crazy. My husband worked at a psych ward and was recently diagnosed with PTSD from some incidents that occured at work. That is where all of my stress really resides. It has been the most stressful situation that we've ever had to deal with. It has effected every aspect of our life.
I think that I've said everything that I can think of for now. Hopefully I'll write again soon.
