I know that more people wish for more time in the day to get things done, but truth be told I really cant get much done during the day with four kids. And so I have been doing my homework and studying after the children go to bed, until as late/ early as 3:30 a.m. It would be very beneficial if the twilight hours lasted a little longer, since that is the time that I get for homework and studying, and I sure do have a lot to do this weekend!
Most college students, and also people who work weekday jobs really enjoy the weekend. For me, it means less time to do housework and homework than before. I know that I am strong, I know that I can do this, but it does not make the way that this works any less frustrating or stressful. This weekend is one of the last weekends before this semester is over. I have a math test on Monday of which I haven't done most of the homework or review yet and do not understand the concepts, a biology test on Tuesday, and the first draft of my final English paper due by the end of the week. The moment that I sit down and attempt to do homework seems to be the moment that the children are magnetized to their mother. I am grateful that I have half-a-handful of friends (and cousin) that have been there for me when I need to take my biology and history tests that don't fit into the 2 1/2 hours three times a week that I am in class. It is really hard to not have anyone here for me when I need to study or get things done.
I know this was the hand that I was dealt. I just hope I don't burst under all the pressure, and hope that time is on my side this weekend as I try to get studying and homework done while attempting to be a good mother. And hopefully the kids will listen and finally get their rooms clean so they can watch a show and let Mommy have some quiet study time, fingers crossed!
