I don't want to do my homework!!

First the stomach flu for Ginny then Malakai.  I hate going out in public when there is a chance I have a bug.  I hate puking let alone in public or when I have to ask someone to pull over so I can toss my cookies.  Unfortunately last weekend I had no choice but to face my fear.  I had a very important fire course which threw me in a vehicle at 7am and didn't allow me to return until 5pm.  Surprisingly enough, I did it and I survived.  A day or two later Keegan got sick and amongst them all Blaine had a day or two.  I hung in there, Studying, and spending hours at the hall donning and doffing my gear in less than 2 minutes.  Tomorrow begins the last two days of this class with a lot of physical stuff and the final exam.  I still have chapters left to read and I just finished two hours of donning and doffing.  I am proud to say though that I got all my stuff on in 1minute and 21 seconds. WOOO HOOO!! It's 9:47 pm and all I want to do is soak in the tub, crawl into bed and watch a great movie.  I want to sleep in and wake up to the smell of waffles and the sound of kids watching morning cartoons.  But I can't!  I need to go upstairs, get my p.j's on and hit the books once again.  If a fire call comes in before 1am I will have to shoot back out of bed and answer the call only to wake up again at 6:00 when the house is silent and fast asleep to once again prepare for a grueling day of classes and tests.  It reminds me of how I have to beg the kids when they get home to do their homework.  I guess now I know exactly how they feel.   I don't want to take the time and learn all about the situation and how to take care of it.    I just want to rescue someone.  I just want to put out the fire or tear the vehicle apart.
