Swamped

So I'm excited about all the new things that could potentially be happening at my job, but that also means more work for me. I never complain about more work, because that usually means more money, and trust me, I will never complain about more money. I just wish I knew how to maintain a mental balance while trying to complete all the new tasks at my job. I work as an executive assistant for a very busy man, who runs a very popular new media trade show. I am also assistant to the Director of Business Development, when she can steal me away from my other responsibilities, which is usually never. I REALLY enjoy my job and am actually pretty lucky to have snagged a gig so close to home. It gives me more time with my kids and easy access to go home whenever I need to. I am also enrolled in two Real Estate classes at my local community college, because let's face it, the future is having something to fall back on, if your 9 to 5 doesn't work out. I actually don't see that being the case, because I have staying power at work, and usually prefer a job with longevity. You just never know now-a-days. Of course, homework every week, and tending to the family, and my job are starting to become a little overwhelming, but I keep telling myself that taking on more responsibility at work is job security. That's one of the main things that is keeping me afloat right now, but when I come home and see my kids and husband, I realize I am doing it for them too. Jewel of the story...it's worth it.
