its tough to study with a 3 month old ........ but we all have seen moms studin and gettin through it , question is how do they do it, how do they balance , so here is wat a successful doctor mom of 3 told me, she said i made a pledge to my self that no matter wat i do
ill read , understand and memorize 10 pages a day,
and by the end of the week she had covered alot , and b4 she knew it by the end of the month she had covered one or two subjects.
so i thought why not try this out, so for all the moms here who are just startin out and do not have a deadline and are willin to try this with me, here is wat im goin to do ill start with one subject , will put up 10 pages # from one book every day b4 goin to bed for the next day, which we will have to read ,understan and memorize,
saturday we can take a break and sunday we should revise every thing we did in that week,or u can revise on sat and take break on sunday (thats up to u), sunday night b4 goin to bed update ur journal (if u want to).
monday start again

im hopin to help as many moms as possible includin my self and to create a support group to help each other , so that no matter how hard thing get we can help each other through it and not judge one another, (blv me that has happened to me)
i would like to get some inup , ideas , comments from u guys
thankx

Hey new mom smiling face

You have a great plan shmily smiling face , it must be really hard to have such a small angel to take care of and be preparing at the same time so I think your goal is very realistic, starting is the hardest part of the race so once you feel comfortable and get your daily goals you will gain confidence and maybe speed up on your own.

You got a great idea shmily, have good luck and let us know about your progress.

Roxy.
