Do we have a lone parents full time student thread?

[stabbystabbykillkill]

I am a single parent, two DC's at home, 2 at uni themselves.

Going into 2nd year and starting to panic about how I'm going to juggle everything

Anyone else?

I'm the same. It's so much much tougher this year. Feels like there's twice as much reading

Still feeling a bit crap =[.
No work again today!

I should probably be stressed too but I don't have the energy xD.

But just think once you have done all the cooking, and sorting and MNing you will have no excuse but to do your work.
Well... you may need to try and block MN or something.

Sian - sorry you're still feeling crap.

I will have no excuses tomorrow. Lecture is cancelled so I am at home kidless all day and all night

I keep making noises about going into Uni to study as always something else to. watch,eat do at home. But then I can never be arsed. I am forcing myself to do an hour now. (famous last words)

I have texted my mate and organised to go in tomorrow anyway and meet for lunch and I'll go to the library and work and I won't be tempted to go and see The Upgrade tomorrow night no I won't oh no not me

Right I've done nearly two hours that will do me for a bit. Did a good bit actually.

I have been a grown up and done the hardest essay first, otherwise I end up going a bit mad, having nightmares about it and talking to random parents at the school gates about it.

me too

I'm hoping to actually get soe work done today as will be going to my parents.
Then again my head is still banging.

So much for getting more work done over the half term... will have to make up for it next week.

Well today's a wash out for me I think. I'm going to try to work but it's DD1's birthday and her twin had died in utero so it's also the anniversary of her death and for some reason it has hit me so so hard this year. So it's tissues, coffee, sniffles and maybe a bath and a sleep.

Mine are off on half term next week and logistically it's going to be a nightmare.

Oh Fluffy I'm sorry. Must be a very bittersweet day for you. Be kind to yourself today,hope you are ok. ((hugs)) I think they are allowed today.

It's my DD1 birthday too, we had cake this morning as at her dads tonight so I've just eaten a another piece for breakfast. Can't believe she's 10.

I forgot about your DD - how did the sleepover go in the end?

I'm fine, normally I'm a lot less affected but this year it has hit me much much more than usual. Dunno why. I was going to try to work but it's pointless it'd just not go in.

So I'm having coffee and chocolate instead

It was good, they had a good time. I was a bit lot nackered the next day but soldiered on(trooper)

Nah, have a day off today. Do something nice and relaxing.

I will be later The Upgrade is coming to visit (was going to spell that differently but that would be rude so I restrained myself)

Happy Birthday to your DC's miss and fluff.
And sorry to hear about your DD's twin =[.

Oh it did make me smile he is now 'The Upgrade' xD!

I never manage to do work in the day with DS, he is only 2 so a bit of a monster, so I know what you mean about half term.
Then again he did just point to his ear, saying 'Spider, spider'.
It made me laugh, I don't think he actually has a spider in his ear, but I think I would miss his stupid comments if I sent him off whilst I did work xD.

Hope you are feeling ok today Fluffy and had a nicer evening , and that you are feeling better Sian

Half term for my two next week, so having to farm the kids out to my mum and their dad while at Uni. Think I'm going to put them in the after school club when they go back, as XP acting as though he's giving me a kidney by having them. I'd rather pay than be at his mercy.

Go girl

I had a lovely evening thank you very much

I hate that I have to rely on XH - there's no after school club for DD2 and DD1 acts like she's being asked to donate a kidney if she has to walk home to mine

Today I am studying ALL day (well once I have another coffee and get a shower)

Roll up roll up.
It's Sunday, it's kid free time. I'm getting my essay on. Who's with me?

That's a bit jolly, so I will add that I hate bastarding referencing. Hate it I tell you.

I fucking hate fucking bastard referencing as well. And if you don't get it right you lost stupid marks

I still hate it.

Got an unexpected child free night. What am I doing?
Reading a poem and making notes. Sad.

I am doing the democratic deficit in the EU so I'm not any better

So half term... and I have to still go in.
But on the plus side I got about 2.5 hours of interuption free work done!

I still have to pay half my sons nursery fee even if he doesn't go in so thought I would go in anyway.
The 10.05 train was much nicer than the 7.36 though =].

Oh that would be so nice. Not to have to go in I mean.

I hate the early starts on a Monday morning. Weather here is foul really really foul flooded roads and it's still raining.

Tomorrow morning will be fun

I appear to have been bulldozed asked to take part in a moot competition. Which requires effort.

And I still have to try to do my assignments for this term. And the kids are off next week so there's no chance of working much then.

Hi all,

What's a moot competition?

I've got another essay to do for fri, then one for the Friday after. Kids are off this week so have to work while they are in bed. Referencing doing my shed in.

They stayed at their dads last night and I was very tempted to bunk off this morning. But I didn't, I soldiered on.

It's like a pretend court where they give you a scenario and you have to pretend you're in court and argue it and I'm shitting myself.

Ooo, no pressure then! I bet you will be great, although I would be bricking it too!
