The good news: Haley called me back last night and would be more than happy to write me a reference letter for my financial aid appeal! I'm checking my email like a crazy person waiting to hear from her.
The rant: I have no idea how I'm going to do this. I'm getting a taste of what homework will be like having been studying for the TEAS for the last week. It's hard. I try to study during the day, but Stella needs me, Ian needs me, Calvin needs me. Calvin is the least of my worries because I can count on his naps for free time. Stella hasn't napped in years for me and Ian rarely naps longer than a half hour unless he's sleeping attached to my boob. Conclusion: It's hard to study during the day, but I can get a little bit in.
When Calvin leaves it's almost 6 p.m. and then I have to get supper ready. By the time we're done with dinner it's pushing 7 p.m. Erik will play with the kiddos. Great. He's been a big party pooper going to bed at 8 p.m. lately. Who does that?! I get it. He has to wake up at 5 a.m. to go to work. It's hit or miss whether Ian goes to sleep anytime before 10 p.m. I'd really love 2 solid hours of semi-peace to get work done. I'm going to need it. Solution: I could get dinner done before Calvin leaves so that once he leaves I go straight to work. Maybe studying for less time, more frequently during the day would be better than a 2 hour chunk of time. Hmm... something to think about.
I think I need to structure our day a little bit more and cut out some time designated to studying. It's kind of hard when Stella wants to change activities every 20 minutes ::tears hair out:: :) I also need some quicker meals to make. Maybe I'll become the queen of freezer meals.
