Working & going to school

I am so ready for life to get easier. Seems like every time we catch a break something else happens... I'm in nursing school and LOVING that, but we are barely scraping by. We get down to nothing at the end of every paycheck. And of course, my car is broken down so we are borrowing my mom's to get be back and forth from home to school every day. If we're ever going to get my car fixed I'm going to have to get a job. I'm doing great in nursing school now, but that's because I dedicate SO MUCH time to studying. I'm really nervous about maintaining a household and having a job and going to nursing school and being a parent. DH only has one semester left (hopefully) and if I don't get a job he thinks he's going to have to not go this semester (AGAIN, he just took this fall semester off too), and work a 2nd job, which can't happen. He needs to finish.

Anyway, this is just a vent. I'm ready to fast forward a year and a half when I'll be done with school and life will be so much easier. Ugh.

Good luck.... I have 2 kids no job and SO has a barely getting by job, and i start school in jan.

Im in school full time, work part time and have 2 kids. We live paycheck to paycheck every time. Usually our bank account goes negative, like it is now   I cant wait to graduate!!!! I just keep telling myself even though we are struggling now it will all be worth it once im done with school.

i go to school and will be starting work Jan 2nd plus the babies life will ge easier keep your chin up!  

I've been In school and working for 5 years now. It's hard but you can do it. You might not get a 4.0 but I have a 3.8 and I'm happy with that. Not that a 4.0 isn't doable though. It takes a lot of dedication and a lot of sacrifices. When I was going in campus I had a very flexible job at a pizza place that worked around my schedule very well. But now I go online and it's a lot more work but I work full time
In my field so I have no choice.

Because im just starting i have to keep telling my self it will make my kids life better...

Good luck.

What are you going to school for? It's taking me forever too! It's a constant fight to keep up with life these days. I'm in serious need of a breather.

If i did online id fall behind plus the family that is helping me would never approve of online classes and i have to go threw my dad first and he would NEVER approve....

Do you do full time school online?? Props to you, mama. Online is SOO much harder for me. 5 years is a long time! What are you going for?

Of course. It sucks horribly now, but im like well once i graduate we will be able to do more things and buy more things and not have to be behind on bills. And we just have to keep up on bills until then.

I got my AA at cc doing traditional classes. But all of our universities are an hour drive so I'd literally NEVER be home. Plus SO goes on campus so were already losing him two nights a week plus gas $. It's just not worth it. If I could avoid it I would. It's much harder online   I'm Gettig burnt out big time.
