All of my help

Although it may seem that because I currently do not have a job I can do all my schoolwork in a timely fashion, this is not the case for me. Being a stay-home-dad with my sons would be an absolute breeze if I were not a student; however, I do attend school. I don't really have any feasible time to do any of my homework. Many times I will try to read while the boys are taking their nap, but lately their schedules have not been in sync with one another. Sometimes I will even try to do some work after the boys are down for the night, but I am often too tired by then. I am pretty spent after all the day's playing, cooking, cleaning, refereeing, etc. At that point I really don't have the energy to focus on homework, I just want to sit and relax and watch TV. Don't get me wrong … I am not writing this to complain because the truth is I have a very supportive family. They have been a major part of a new studying routine that may work. On the weekends, my wife takes care of the boys for about three hours while I am at the library. When at the library I try and do as much as I can and then make my way back home. Also, on Tuesdays and Fridays my mother and sister are available to watch "Mooky" and "Meatball" if I need to do some work. Occasionally I am even able to use those times away to catch a few winks, which I didn't really believe in naps until recently. I know that I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful family that helps out the way they do. Being in school at this stage in my life does present more challenges than a traditional student may have to overcome. Yet the interesting part is that I am now more equipped to handle things that come my way better than the first time around.
