Finding Time To Study

Thank the good Lord for online classes. Andrew Jackson University, an accredited online University is my top choice for online education. Check out the study method offered. Their courses are just like a traditional university only you can study online on your time.

Thank goodness for that. In the last few weeks I have had multiple doctor's appointments, many sick children and about three thousand (or so it seems) freelance writing projects I've committed to. Lately I have focused my attention on writing sales and marketing material. I love writing on business, sales and marketing because it pays well and I have a lot of experience in this arena.

One thing that IS very important to me while studying and working is ensuring I have enough time to enjoy my family and children while still young. Before you know it, they will grow up and move out, enjoying their own lives.

Speaking of children, my oldest daughter Hannah (who will be three in December) said the cutest thing the other day. We just finished watching finding NEMO. Now, my daughter has a good friend at school, his name is Max. If you ever watched this movie, you'll see that one of the fish, Dori, is a bit of a goofball but a loving, supportive and sweet character.

So I ask my daughter Hannah, "Is Max your buddy?" And, she responds, "No mom, Max is my Dori."

Children never cease to amaze me with their intelligence, strength and thoughtfullness. When was the last time your child made you smile? Be sure to write me! Check out my site and business when you can!

How To Survive Three Sick Kids

If you are new to this blog, let me introduce myself. I am a proud mother of three beautiful children under three, a student aiming for my MBA concentrating in Entrepreneurship from Brian Tracy College of Business and Entrepreneurship at AJU and a self-employed business professional.

How do you juggle all three? Most parents of 3 young children either (1) stay at home to raise the kids or (2) balance work and kids or (3) balance kids and school. I rarely meet mothers or fathers doing all three.

I am here to tell you it can be done. What it takes is a lot of discipline, courage, patience and sometimes a good cry. Juggling all three is not easy. For example, just recently all three of my children had bad colds.

Of course, I also got a cold. Not fun. So for several days, when I really just wanted to lay in bed, I had to struggle with run away noses, sore throats and studies. Not to mention the oddball project.

What saved me this week was some acupuncture and encouraging words from friends and family. In times of stress, remember there is always something positive coming right around the corner.

If you can, make life easy. Thank goodness my education is online, or I think I might go crazy!
