For me, once I lay my son down to sleep it's study time. He, usually, is out by 8:30 so after that I have peace and quiet to study and/or read. Sometimes I am so tired from chasing him around all day, but I have to stay focused on what the bigger picture will eventually bring us. I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason. Having said that, my intent was to have children AFTER school, but that didn't happen, but I manage to make it work thanks to a great support system!
