So it's been quite awhile since I've been blogging. School just started on Monday, Jan. 24th. And man, let me tell you something. I thought I could do it all. So lately I've been wondering about the Super Mom thing. Does it really exist? Can a mom really be super, and do everyhing? Well, I guess we'll have to find out together. I've just recently returned back to school to finish my degree that has taken me over a decade to finish. So after all these years, I'm finally on my last semester. Who knows what I'll do next, but for now, I'm focus on school. So far, I'm completely drained out at the end of the day. I was one of those people who, and may I emphasis, LOVE to SLEEP. My family makes fun of me and calls it Judy's Snydrome.
Anyhow, school hasn't really kicked into gear yet, just the basic homework, and the structure of the class, but boy, I'm so exhausted at the end of the day that when I get home, I just want to sleep. Staying up to do homework is really hard. Let me give you a recap of my daily schedule. Get up around 7ish, because the alarm clock is crying (baby). I change her and feed her, and sometimes if I'm lucky she goes back to bed in an hour, on a bad day takes about 2 hours for her to fall back to sleep. So let's say it's an hour for her to go back to bed. It's then 8:30 or 9am. I get washed up get ready for school. I have about an hour before I leave to my first class that starts at 11:30am. I finish getting ready, eat, and leave. Sometimes she catches me before I leave for school, but I try to make sure that she sleeps longer because my mom (the babysitter during my school hours) is pretty busy with other things, so I try not to put her back too bed too soon. I get back from school around 1pm. My mom leaves to work at 1:30, so it has been working so far. Of course as I walk in the door, she's up. So I usually either feed her, or if not I bathe her then feed her. This takes about 1 hr and a half. So once she's good for another nap it's around 2:30. It then gives me a good window of 3 hours to eat and do some homework before I return back to school at night. My next class starts at 7pm - 9:45pm. I get home around 10ish. (During that time, my sis-n-law watches the baby) She's either still awake, or just about ready for bed time. But I've noticed that she doesn't sleep until 11:30pm. I eat, and do some more homework. By the time I'm ready for bed, it's usually after midnight. The good thing about it is that she's been sleeping through the night now and wakes up either right at 7 or before 7am. So I'm getting a longer sleep. (Thank god!) And there you have it, my crazy schedule. Hoping to survive for the next couple of months. Wish me luck!
