And I'm not even taking college courses! Whenever I get ahead in planning school work or getting a particular in depth subject done with the kids, something gets left out - dinner, dishes, laundry. When I take the time to catch up on chores, I feel like I didn't spend enough time with the kids! And when I get everything done, I don't get enough sleep. I think we are all in the same boat:)Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180707921475039103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956164737211936000.post-13739737552142047622010-11-05T21:18:35.076-04:002010-11-05T21:18:35.076-04:00ahh Becky!

I just don't know how to do it all and keep up my #1 job which is, has always been, and will be until they are no longer under my roof my children. I am relieved to know that I am in fact intelligent enough to be doing so well in college but I do not think I will have the ability to continue with school even part time. I only took 2 courses because I thought it would not be to demanding on me but really it is kind of overwhelming.Crystal Jeffershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05618128591306668911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956164737211936000.post-37877645638940523512010-11-05T20:54:03.583-04:002010-11-05T20:54:03.583-04:00I did college for just over two years and never fo...I did college for just over two years and never found the balance. If I did well in my college courses, the kids and house suffered. If I tended my family well, my grades suffered. I decided to invest my time where it is needed and stick with home for now.<br /><br />I am actually just over the 1/2 way point with my B.A. I may go back to school at some point, but I doubt it will be any time soon...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
