It is to me.

I have school full time M, Tu, W, Th 5:30-9 and two online classes

I am in the process of remodeling the duplex I live

I have a new boyfriend of 6 weeks

I think most other people would think it's too busy, but that just life....

Answer 4

Life can get very busy. It is important to have balance in life though. You need to find time for yourself, even if only a few minutes each day, so that you can relax or else you'll go nuts!

Answer 5

I think you are way beyond maxed out, but if you can manage all of this you are doing some great stuff and still giving time to your family and your church!  You might be "burning it at both ends," however and you may want to scale back a little bit for your own sanity and well-being!  Good Luck!
