Have you ever felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day?

I know I have for the last couple months. I would wake up, play with the kids, go to work, come home, play with the kids, spend time with the wife, and then go to sleep. Rinse. Repeat.

Yesterday all of that changed. I've decided to enroll in college....at 27 years old. I've finally said "enough is enough" and bit the bullet. I'm looking forward to this life-changing decision more than anything in my recent memory, save for my marraige and having kids. I'm finally going to be able to provide for my family the way I know I can, instead of scraping to get by. I'm tired of living from paycheck to day before paycheck every two weeks.

Another thing that just popped into my head while typing the above:

I don't think that God intended for us to stretch ourselves so thin trying to get so many things done in a given time period. Why do we put so much stress on ourselves to get so many menial things accomplished? There are so many things stressing me out right now that I'm not getting a good night's rest. I can't get to sleep until almost 2am and don't wake up until almost 10am every morning. My mind is just racing about things I did, things I could have done differently, and things that I have to do tomorrow. I wish I could just get a do-over, a mulligan as they say on the links. I can't help but think back on all of the mistakes I have made in my life and how they've helped shape who I am today. I'm just grateful that God has put my wonderful wife and 2 amazing children in my life. I have no clue where I would be if not for them.
