Advice for a new non-trad...?

Ok so I haven't been out of school too terribly long. I'm only 25 and left univeristy about 4 years ago. I only have 3 semesters left til I get my bachelors and am going back with 15 credit hours starting Aug 17.





I need advice on the best way to balance my family (husband and a 2 yr old), my job ( a 25ish hr/wk gig) and studying without driving myself insane. I know I can do it, but any advice from people that have already been there would be wonderful?





What techniques did you use? How did you make time for all your obligations? When did you find time to study? Did you get up before the kids or stay at school after class?





Thanks in advance!Advice for a new non-trad...?
I finished school before starting a family, so I have never been in your exact situation, but here is some advice anyway. Yyou will need to rely on your husband to help out at home or you will go insane.





Also, you will need to let some things slip. I don't know what your current standards are for cleaning your house, laundry, etc, but you will need to decide what is important and what is not. Dust will always be around, can you stand to let that slip a bit?





Pre-planning will also be very important. On the weekends, try to cook for all week and then you have leftovers for quick meals during the week - just defrost and add a fresh salad and enjoy!





Good luck!!
