Always behind or bored

Busy comes in large gusts. I go from having nothing to do to my current situation, far too much and not enough time. Why can't it be more even and consistent?

Tonight I have to do code review for my 3 teammates for C++ class, do class participation, buy the kids a swingset and help with my family care duties. Plus I want to spend a bit of time just playing around with the kids. Something has to give and lately it's been sleep.

Just talked to the wife and we're going to Old Country Buffet for dinner. So, I'll get to combine fun with the kids and dinner time together. We can stop by the Toys-R-Us for the swingset on the way there. Hopefully it will all work out and not be another late night.
