i need a reminder

i hit a wall today.  a small one, but still.  i've been working hard-ish on grad classes for 12 weeks now, and just started my 3rd class this past week.  i'm still coaching 3 days/wk, but the past 2 wks have been a bit more involved due to high school meets, time trials, and covering for our 3rd coach while she's been out of town.  i love it still and don't want to give it up, but it IS exhausting after a full day at work.  this afternoon, all the stress of work, school, swimming, house/dog/cat-sitting, and my unsuccessful attempt at finishing my halloween costume for this year culminated into one stomach-knotting tear-fest that caused a minor breakdown in front of family...it doesn't help that my grandpa just arrived home again after a 2-month stint in a rehab facility following his stroke, so family stress levels are high all around. 

after finishing my philosophy of special education statement last week for my benchmark assignment & not doing as well as i wanted to, i really am starting to question whether this route is the one i'm supposed to be on.  or, am i wimping out because it's challenging.  so far i've been relatively impressed with the online format, but this week i've been wondering if i should just quit my job & go to school down south again, and uproot my life for a few years in order to get a more hands-on education.  i could go back to pacific.  except, it won't be the same as all the wonderful memories from before because of all the good friends that have moved to other areas.  some are left or are nearby, but it won't be the "home away from home" feeling that i had before.  or, do i just stay where i'm at and deal.  another girl i know in a SpEd program through the univ of AK is dropping out of her program because it's not that great, and will find another one when she returns from a month-long adventure in central america, but i don't know if that's a good decision for me.  all i know is, i'm stressed, i'm tired, my shoulder is STILL in pain after thursday's workout...is it from the workout, or am i already starting to carry my stress in my shoulders again like in college?  i hope not...

i know things will work out the way they're supposed to in the end, but at this point in time i'm struggling and don't know where to begin besides keep breathing. i don't have time for a slump!
