and deeper still... A blog of a wife, mother, and graduate student (working on her doctorate in Audiology). I sew, I sign, and I try to keep my life together, mostly.

Gumby
I wish I had more flexibility, though I thrive on routine. I wish my husband had a set schedule, and that he didn't volunteer to work his days off so frequently. I am frequently forced to scramble to find a sitter that is available assorted hours, or to take off entirely. Of course, I am the one who must always take off! I was told that I would have my position this summer, but have now been informed that it is likely I will not have that opportunity. I guess I need to find something, but that will be difficult with my husband's scattered hours. I only have a few hours of classes left to graduate- 3 summer credits and a course that is only offered during my workday apparently. I can not afford to quit and pay for school, so I always wait "until next semester." Unfortunately "next semester" never comes for me. I feel like I miss too much work now, and my paycheck feels the brunt of it. I feel like I've been pulled in a million directions. I'm moving, mothering, working and worrying; my day never stops!

I wish I lived closer. I would so help you out watching the kids while you finished up school. I never would have been able to finish if it hadn't been for my Grandma watching Noah for free. I know how hard it is. Keep praying. Something will work out. And you're so close to being done. Don't give up!!
Thanks Ali, I appreciate it! The childcare thing isn't really what's keeping me from finishing school. I can afford to stay home, or I can afford to pay for school, but not both at the same time! I have financial aid lined up for next year, so hopefully by next summer ($&%$^&% graduation requirement of summer classes) I'll be done!
I know things aren't that bad, and before I know it, I'll be looking back at this blog and laugh! I just get myself to a boiling point, and then I vent it out here!
Hey, I do the same thing. It just gets overwhelming at times. Little kids + Job + School = Really tired all the time.
