Nobody here recently. Well, I guess everyone is just so busy in reading. Good sign. 
Hope everyone study happily.

We have enough time,we just need to steel it amidst all the daily chores and work ! One month ago I bought a coffe mug , and whenever I run around the house like a cleaning lady and forget about the world around me , all I see is a dirt and a mess , I look at the mug and stop for a second . It helps me to put me into the whole life perspective , what is and is not important.
The mug says '' M is for mom not maid''.

Hey gals,
What's up ?????
I had to go on an inevitable trip for a week and now I am unable to concentrate on my books. Wasted all day today finding excuses to not study.
Hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Hi Dowite2002,
I had the same problem as yours.I study at night usually till 1.30-2.00 a.m. So I get good 4-4 1/2 hrs of study time at night.And for afternoon I have nap of atleast 30 min when my little one sleeps too. It is working for me...may work for u too.Though shall break this cycle as exam comes closer.
Good Luck

Hi, everybody,
I am new here and i am a mon too. Very happy that we are all in the similar situation. and sharing some experience. i have not started my study yet. So impressed that some people could study till mid night! I usually feel sleepy around 10:30pm after a busy day. i would try to spare some time on studing from now on. Though I do not have any tips right now. hopfully , i would find some how to handle this situation...
Good luck for all moms. Let all our dreams come true in USA!

Hi every one. This thread has been pretty inactive lately. What happened t oal lthe doctor moms? I hope you guys are all busy studying.
I am also a mom. A single mom that is.
And an old IMG too boot And on top of that amworking full time.
So when I try to juggle my USMLE studies along with all the other roles and responsibilites, it does seem at time that " my cup brimmeth over."
But I know that I would have a life long regret of not working hard and trying for being a doctor here in USA if I were to let go of my dream. So I struggle along.
I was a great doctor in my country. And only God knows whether I would be one here or not. But I have to give it my best shot.
I am at work right now. Would leave around 5;30 and then the two hours long commute back home.
I have just started my studies. I am not going to be regular in my postings here on this forum, but I will come often to post updates and to seek solace when troubled with my work load.
All the best.

Yes, Naz Mir this thread is pretty quiet lately . All moms are busy .... Any idea how do you fight fatigue ? I can not sleep well lately , takes me forever to fall asleep , and when I finally sleep my son wakes up ..... next day I'm just dragging. 
Well , wish a good studying to every mom here.

Goodgirl, try to have a hot bath before going to bed and drink a cup of hot milk. After drying your hair, brush it till you feel warm. That is a kind of chinese massage, which can improve the microcirculation and memorization. Don't think anything, keep your brain empty. Relax.
Good luck.
