| I finished my school for medical transcription so that I can work from home and now I am enrolled in an internship program. As soon as pass a series of their tests then they will start sending me work. The problem is, it basically teaches you until you are close to a 100% accuracy rate, which is pretty advanced. I know it is going to require a lot of time. When Alicia goes down for a nap I have a good 2-3 hours in the afternoon and that is when I should jump on it but there are days when I want that extra time to do things around the house or just have some me time. I don't know if I am just not pushing myself hard enough for my goal because it seems like it is taking forever to get there. Can anyone relate? |

Jeanna, I can really relate to that. I took the course for transcription and learned that it will be impossible for me to do until my son goes to preschool. It takes so much focus that I knew I would be too preoccupied with all the other stuff I need to get done that I wouldn't be able to do it while he naps. Don't be too hard on yourself. If you push too hard you will stress yourself to the point that it will be hard to accomplish anything.

| Yes, I can relate to your problem. I am a part time student working on my bachelor's degree and ever since I had my second baby it's been incredibly hard to concentrate on my school work, get things done around the house and interact with my sons. I've found that I have to give myself a break on certain things like house work, so what if the house is really dusty. My oldest son is used to mommy saying I have home work right now so you must let mommy concentrate for today. But now that I have two children with two different needs I feel overwhelmed. Sometimes I think that I should put school off until they are both in school, but then I remind myself of my goals and I get through another semester. I can't say that juggling school and mommy-hood is easy. As moms we try to be everything to everybody and that kind of perfection is impossible. Your children will still love you even if you can't devote 100% of your time. Think of it as a good lesson to teach your children; to always strive to achieve there goals even when it may be hard. |

| I also can relate, I am going to school online and the only time I can complete any of my school work is when my husband is home or when Branson is sleeping. It is very tough but I have always wanted a degree, if this is what I have to do to get it done then so be it. My husband also wants to have another one! I do not know if I am ready yet. Will I have enough time with my first one? Will I have enough time for my husband and other things in life like school? I know these are all questions other moms have but can anyone relate? |

| I can relate Heather. When I think of having my second child I wonder how I will ever have time for anything else. There are so many mothers out there that do it though. I guess you just do what you have to! :) |
