Mommy + College = Busy Mama

Motherhood…a wonderful time in life. There is nothing I would rather do than spend my entire day with my girl. & that is the problem when it comes to school. I spend all my time from 7am-7pm playing, napping, feeding, walking, and doing housework with my girl. So when 7pm hits I am exhausted. I feel like my head is spinning every time I open a school book, yet I can sit and read library books all day long! Tell me…why can I memorize every vaccine insert that my daughter has had but I can’t memorize a few articles for Cultural competencies for nurses. I guess priorities have changed in my life. I just need to remember why I am so motivated to finish school. One reason is because it is simply my dream! I know no one can finish college for me or do my homework for me! Reason number two, how awesome will it be to tell my daughter her mama went to school and raised her at the same time!! Reason number three, job security even if I am not using it all the time. Reason number four, there is so much hope when you are in school. Mike & I often talk about what life will be like once I am done and once he is on a full-time department. Reason number five, I will be able to send my kids to college with my own money–not loans:) (priorities!!!!). Reason number six, I love Parkside University and nursing is my calling. Reason number seven, I might get to see Mike every once and awhile while I am at work! Not really a reason to finish, but it would be kind of cool–!. Please God help me to juggle all these jobs in front of me & let me know when I just need you to take over. I know only with my faith in you it will be possible. Okay now back to these unopened books.
