I'm very tired! email this discussion to a friend?

It is 3AM, and I really need sleep! I just finished a short story that I just could not get interested in reading. I spent about an hour looking for an online audio of it so I wouldn't have to sit and try to read it all night. No go. This student/mommy thing is so difficult, I don't know what I was thinking going into it. Durring normal waking hours, getting anything done at home or for school is impossible, and at night, I'm overwelmed by the house work and homework I am left to squeeze into two or three hours time.

What was I thinking?

It sure is late. It is the same time here also but I work nights. I am still very tired and sleepy though. I would love to go lay down but I have alot of work to do. I could never do school and work. I have too much other stuff going on. It is hard to keep up with working, the house and the yard. I am working right now doing laundry, cleaning and working online. I always have to multitask like that to get things done every day. It wears a person out. I work seven days per week right now also.

You are just my kind of woman...a supermom! I know how difficult it is to work on something and at the same time be a homemaker. Being a mother and homemaker is already a full time job. As for me, I could never do what you are doing. I am one of those who is really grateful for having household helpers who attend to the houseworks because I just can't do it and be totally effective as a homemaker. I hope you will still have energy and time for yourself.

It takes time to get into a different routine and you have to let yourself adjust to this change in your life. You need your sleep, so set yourself a bedtime!

I know the feeling of a boring story, there are so many of them. It's hard to find a truly interesting one but so easy to fine a boring one! And the era you're studying was particularly frustrating as they weren't as forthcoming in their ideas as they are today.

Hope you had a good sleep. Now make a plan today! Figure out your priorities. What's more important, cooking breakfast or serving cereal? Playing with your child or doing housework? Dusting every day or once a week? Make a plan, include what's most important to you and let the rest slide. Be sure to allow at least an hour a day for schoolwork.

I know it's hard but you'll soon be glad you're taking a class! You just need to adjust your routine so you'll have time to make it work. Good luck! happy

Well, everything in life takes sacrifice,but at the end you are going to feel very proud of yourself. I know that is very difficult to divide yourself in so many roles,but I'm sure that you can do it. Just take a bubble bath once in a while.


myLot reputation of 90/100. Katesmama (3226)   ranked 4 out of 229 in get over it  7 months ago

A bubble bath would be nice. Thanks Mirita.

LOL I know it is hard Kate and I don't intend to be mean by laughing at you I just can imagine how difficult it is but you know what? I have faith in you and I KNOW that you can do it and when you have finished school it will all be worthwhile! It will also get easier as Late grows and gets older and you will be so pleased that you put the hard slog in now! Come oon girl keep your chin up, you're a fighter! xxx

Don't know what you were thinking but I did the same thing once myself. After flondering around for several years working on my degree I had one year left to finish my BA. I was married at the time with 5 children. I worked full time and I decided in order to get finished before I had to move again I would take a full load. Wow, by the end of the year I was brain dead. Some would say still am. LOL But I did it and with the work and kids I found the only time I had to study and do homework was like 10:00Pm till 2:00 in the morning since I got up at 5:00 for work. Not something I would recommend for the average Joe and to this day I hate reading but quite an accomplishment you can be extremely pround of and brag about down the road. Hang in there the end will eventually come.

Even thou I never did what your doing, I can pretty much understand what your going thru. Not easy taking care of a 3yr. old and a house as it is and then adding school work on top of it...eesh! Any way, can you talk a friend or family member to come in once a week to do a good cleaning of your house and maybe cook dinner a few nights a week for you guys? Anything that will help you out while your in school. You got alot of guts doing all this, my friend. Glad I'll never go back to school. lol
