Balance
As you all know, I started college this week. My first day in class (Wednesday) went great. I think I am really going to like my instructors. The only downside is I have to disect a kitty cat in March and go to The Body Exhibit in Atlanta, GA. It is cadavers positioned in different was and opened up so you can see their muscles and such. I'm not all that excited about seeing dead people on display. I know some people give there bodies "to science", but do they really know what that means?? I find it distrubing, but that's just me.
Anyway, getting to my point. How do you balance a baby and college? I knew it would be hard when I had the baby. I knew it would be hard when I started college. But how do I find the balance? When he is crying for Mommy and I have a paper due, what do I do? He definately comes first in everything. But this is all for him; to make his life better; to be able to give him more. So how do you find the balance? Just a thought.

oh the cadavers sound interesting! i could never handle it if there was blood but i think it would be cool to see the muscles and organs. anyway...you will find a way to balance and so will Cooper. I am still trying to figure out how to have art studio time, and still balance family time. It has helped me alot to designate specific times for the studio. That way I am not constantly thinking "when will i have time to work". When i am finished in the studio i can clear my mind of the "when?" question and move on to other things.
When I was pregnant I asked one of my fellow teachers how she was able to decide whether to teach or stay at home with her kids. I think it is applicable even for us who stay at home but have to let someone else care for our babies while we get some work (or homework) done. She said she wanted her kids to know that others could take care of them and comfort them. she knew they would always prefer her, but she wanted them to have strong bonds with as many people as possible.
don't know if that helps...
The cadavers are not required but I am going because I will have a test on muscles right after that and I think it will really help to be able to see them.
That does help! I told Jerry before I started we needed to sit down and make a rough schedule for when I would study do homework we just haven't done it yet. Cooper has bonds with other people, his problem is no one else has his milk. I think there is just going to be an adjustment period. Hopefully he will adjust quickly.
