It's Not Hard

Balancing school and three kids is an adventure. My classes are in the morning so going to school isn't that different from working a first shift job. The kids come home from school, we do homework, eat supper, take baths, and then go through our bedtime routine. Usually by 8:00 all three kids are in their beds quietly drifting off to sleep. Not bad huh?! Who wouldn't love to have their kids snug in bed by 8pm, right? But, then comes my study time. This is what sets school apart from working. I never had to bring work home with me and work on it for hours after my kids were in bed. Sunday night I was in bed by 12am, Monday and Tuesday night it was 1am (and I get up at 5:30). Usually by Thursday the lack of sleep is starting to get to me so I have worried all day about how late I would be up tonight studying for my anatomy lab quiz tomorrow. Finally around 6pm it dawned on me that...I don't have lab tomorrow!!! That quiz I was so worried about isn't until next Tuesday!!! So I am very excited to report that it is 8:55pm and I am heading to bed!!!! Yep, "It's Not Hard" to please me :-)
