Hats off to Moms

We're nearly halfway through the week already! My how times flies when you're having fun/chasing boys around all day. Today I snuck away for a few hours to enjoy a nice latte and work on some homework. I feel for moms who work, take care of their kids, AND are working on their degree. How do you do it?! This week I'm getting a strong dose of motherhood as the rest of the staff is gone and we're basically acting as "mom" and "mum" for a week. I find it SO challenging to focus on homework long enough to get anything done. My hat goes off to you moms who are studying... I guess that's why God gave women the gift of multi-tasking, eh?

Even though these last couple years of studying have been full on with work and school, I really have had it quite easy being single because I only have to worry about myself. But, I am definitely in the minority in the PACE program as the majority of the women in this cohort are working and taking care of kids (or grandkids) AS WELL AS doing the PACE program. There should really be some sort of special award for moms who can pull this off. I guess the real reward is the degree at the end. Keep up the good work ladies... we're so close to that final reward!

Stephanie,
first thatnk you for the kind thoughts but you also have worked very hard at school and being employed. We all are amzing people with talents and gifts taht we are being trained to share with others. As for me I get my strength from the Lord and am blessed to have a great family that supports me and cheers me along in this endeavor.
Besides look at all the great training you are getting and learning how to master for multi-tasking with little ones under foot.

Mom's deserve more than what they are given credit for sometimes.
