Running myself Ragged update

Some of you may remember a fairly recent post regarding me getting a third job at Swimtastic Swim School.  When I wrote that post I was in training (their training program is about 30 hours, 15 of book work, and 15 of water work), which was all to be done in ONE week WHILE I worked my normal full time job and ran my family.  Needless to say that week pushed me to the edge!  I was teary, tired, and troubled!  I ended up with a horrible bout of Vertigo and in bed.  However, I have now gotten through the training and started teaching my own classes, which is what I wanted to do all along. While I am still not entirely sure why I have done this, I am having a lot of fun doing it now and I love my classes.  I am teaching Saturday mornings from 9-12 and Monday evenings 7-8 right now but adding another class at 5:45 in October.  My desire to teach at Swimtastic comes from having Riley there from 8 months to 4 years old.  Many of you know, he is a fantastic swimmer but he also had a blast at Swimtastic and I feel that it helped his confidence a lot too.  Overall, we liked the atmosphere.  It is very kid friendly and family oriented.  As an employee I still feel the same way.  The owners of Swimtastic are very nice people.  While I feel that parents pay a LOT for swimming lessons at Swimtastic, I think they get what they pay for.  So, while I don't NEED this extra job, I do love it.  Plus, it gives Ryan some much needed DADDY time alone with the boys.  OK, I admit, giving Ryan some alone time with the kids and doing the whole "kid routine" was a MAJOR part of my desire to be out of the house for awhile!  He's doing well and so am I.  All's good in the O'Toole household, for now.....
