Ever tried online classes? You can goto class in your birthday suit, and theres no snooty professor or classmate to give ya dirty looks. Ive been doing it for the last 3 years. Its awesome.

I wish. But you can't do clinicals from home. *sigh*

My husband is an over the road truck driver and is gone almost all week so that is good that he is gone so I can give my attention to my three kids, the house, and my studies. I just wish the kids would realize what a big deal going back to school is and be a little more supportive. They just laugh and say "Mom's got homework!" Coming from 13, 11, and 6 year olds. GRRRR.

I am so lucky. My hubby is very supportive of my continuing ed. He makes sure I have quiet time to study, and ... more importantly, he is proud of me. It really means the world. I really don't know if I could have finished my Bachelor's without his support.

It is damn hard to balance work, school, and family.

My husband says he is supportive, but he sure is never around for me to do homework or study. That may be why I am up til all hours and I am tired all of the time. A word of caution about internet classes, I am taking one now and my husband thinks that it should be easier than a normal class and I don't need too much time to do it. I have a hard time doing anything when I am alone here with my daughter so I am doing all of that class work late at night too.
