online classes, child, and working

I feel like I finally found the balance in doing all 3. I'm taking online classes at U of Arkansas 1 or 2 classes a semester; im only taking a few classes since its been awhile - I didnt want to overload myself in the beginning. I have a 3 yr old little boy who will be 4 in September and then I found a job selling Premier Jewelry. I just started this past June and I love it becaue I get to work as much or as little as I want which has been relaly good for my situation, I even sponsored my first girl! My husband works full time and then when he gets home at night I have a few hrs to either go do a show or to study and then when our son goes to bed then I am ready for hubby time. I quit my full time job in Insurance almost a yr ago and have been looking for a job since then and no luck and thats when I stumbled on Premier. It at least brings in some money and that I way I feel like I'm still contributing to the family and I get to get out of the house a night or 2 a week.

That is great for you. I tried to jogging my 4 children , Premier Jewelry , event planning, ministries in church and school I had to give up one so Premier had to go. I know that you are having a wonderful time and I am very please to hear that you are able to manage. I believe that God gives us the strength to do more than we think we could do. So you will be fine. I on the other gave myself more. I will be returning to PD next year when school is done.

It is a lot. I know sometimes its hard. I feel like sometimes I running a three ring circus around here lol. Between work, school, household chores, my daughters activities, the new baby and my husbands rotating shift it is a mad house. I have found from talking to other moms is that it is normal everyone does it :). Good luck

That is good to hear that you found something that works. I have two boys 2 and 7n months I am full time and is very lucky that their father can watch them. I am scared that I don't know what kind of job he is going to get because I might have to find a babysitter.
