How is school influencing my life?

AAAAHHHHH!
I think sometimes I really want to scream! Some times I feel that it is safe to say that school (& kids, & work, & husband) may be driving me CRAZY!!!! Right now I feel a little overwhelmed because I do have to huge papers due, the one for this class and one for another class. I am really trying to work ahead so I don't feel so overwhelmed and crazy. I am also really trying to organize my days better so that I can get more done.

I am hoping that this crazy feeling doesn't hang around too much longer!!!

Forgot to ask!

Hey I forget to include this question...
Why is it considered plagiarism if you reuse one of your own papers?

Plagiarism

I think that it is very important to cite sources in a paper because it gives credit to the person/persons who came up with an idea in the first place. If someone were to read a paper that you wrote and then wanted to do some more research just to learn more about your topic and they found the same information that was in your paper in another and you didn't cite your sources, you could be in trouble. I know I wouldn't want to be expelled from school or fired from a job because I stole someone else's idea, I would think something like that would stay with you for a long time.
