Hi Lisa,

I am a mother with 3 kids and is studing cert in Business Management at Ashworth online. My eldest is in 1st grade, second in preschool and youngest is a 11 month old baby. I get where you are coming from about not having enough time to STUDY with kids and all. First, remember that you are not alone!!There are thousands and many more around the word just like you (and me).

Here is a typical day for me:

Morn:2am-Wake up to nurse my baby then study. I am a morning person so waking up early is best for me.

8-2pm: WORK

2-3: LUNCH at work. When i have time i go through review questions OR just catch up on your readings

6pm: HOME. Make dinner, do kids hw, dinner etc

9pm: put kids to sleep. To me it is very important  for my kids to know that 9pm means BEDTIME.

9-10pm: Go through lessons.(half an hour or so dedicated for readings)

BEDTIME

I usually take my lesson exams in the morning as that is the time everyone is asleep and all is quiet.

I wish you the best

KNOW THE FELLING I AM RASING 4 GRAND KIDS TRYING TO STUDY WITH AJOB ITS HARD IHAVE TO WAIT UNTILL WE PUT THEM TO BED BUT SOMETIMES I AM TO TIRED TO STUDY.WISH I HAD THE RIGHT ANSWER.JUST TRY TO FIND TIME FOR YOUR SELF

Hey Lisa, I print my lecture notes so I always have something to read. I have a long commute so if my husband is driving, I can study.  I have two jobs two kids and a disabled Army vet husband.  If he is in the hospital, I take my computer and my books.  I don't waste anytime on T.V. I put my kids on a schedule so they always respect my study time.  I also study with them.  They get a kick out of seeing mom do homework!

You Will find the time, and you know you will, or you wouldn't be going to class on line.  Your question sounds like you are more looking for a way not than a way to.  I have 5 kids, 19 horses that need fed and watered, 40 rodeo bulls that I help my husband with , and a full time job too.  When you are inspired enough to take the first steps to go to school, you can find the time.  Good luck. And prove to the world you are a strong person.
