School Life vs Home Life

School this term has been hard. I've been sick, I got a new job and have had to rejuggle priorities, and a multitude of other minor challenges. Probably the biggest challenge though has been work. I used to use that time to do homework so I could spend my evenings with my family. Now, even though I spend the majority of my lunch breaks at work wolfing down food while trying to cram in study time, I still have to take time from my family in the evenings too. Just the other night my daughter wanted to play, and I had to tell her no, Mommy has to do homework. It broke my heart to her her outburst of, "I hate Mommy going back to school, she always has to do homework!" before running off. And now I'm in the process of transferring from my current Associates program into a Bachelor's program, so I'll be in school longer than planned. I just hope we can survive this.
