Are you a fulltime mother and a fulltime student? If so how many kids and how many hours are you taking at school? I am a fultime mother to 2 kids, Emily will be 3 Friday and Mary will be 2 in July. I am in my second semester at my local community college  Majoring in Computer Information Systems, expected graduation May2010. Fall08 I took 12 credit hours to get me in the swing of things but Spring09 I am taking 18 credit hours. How do you keep up your house work, school work and care for you kids and family. I have had a rough time doling so the past semester and I have no idea what to do. I am trying to put my kids in a real daycare next semester so they have social interaction with other kids. I had one of my friends watching them at my house this past semester but I do not agree with stuff she does and stuff she lets them get away with so I want to put them somewhere, where i do not fret coming home. I would leave my house clean and come back to a mess. What am i suppose to do? I love my friend but I can not handle this until i finish school next may. Does anyone else have the same issues? Please talk about them here. I feel like I am the only one that feels this way.

Are you having problems buying gifts this year? i think we all are. I took 300 and bought everyones gifts including my kids. no one is getting anythjing special this year but in the years to come i want to make up for it.Its hard enough to pay the bills on one income let alone buy christmas presents. So when you get depressed about you not having money to buy gifts just remember why we have christmas. Our lord never bought us anything and we lve him still so why should we worry over what to buy others. They should love us for who we are not what we buy them for christmas.
