I only ask because I am so tired. I have been putting in 12 hours days it seems for the last 2 1/2 weeks, plus adding in time on the weekends for my new teaching gig. This is the year I choose to continue teaching or not. I like what I do…but I wish I could come home and enjoy my evening.

How much is too much for you?
