creating a life outside of motherhood


I am a mother of two beautiful children and I am a student, not an easy task. I have to balance my home life as well as personal and school life everyday and it can be exhausting. I am not patting myself on the back, I am just trying to help others like me understand that it is okay to take time for yourself. I am commonly troubled with balancing my school life with motherhood. I have limited time to complete work, so I make my time count. When the kids nap, I do work, when they go ot sleep at 7:30 at night, I do work. It is not easy when the kids are sick and crying to do my work, there are times when I am up until 1 am, just to finish a paper or blog. The reason I do it is because I believe in myself and it is something I have to do to better my family. When you are down and feel overwhelmed, think about why you are choosing to go back to school as a mother....your children!
