Add me! I'm trying this again...also a single mom to a 9 yr old feisty lil girl. Working two "jobs" focused in a career of Social Services (adults whom have been dually diagnosed with devolopment disabilities), just trying to stay afloat. Good Luck!!0

Wow, who knew there were so many single parents/students/Midwesterners on here! Thanks for the support everyone! I'm glad other people understand what I'm going through here.0

Hi Rachel, my name is Joe. I am also a graduate student so I understand how demanding it can be at times. I would be happy to join your support group on MFP. I will send you a request.

I also know what it's like to try to balance it all. I work full-time, have a 10 year old, and just finished my M.Ed (my graduation ceremony is a week from tomorrow - whee!!). Squeezing in working out too was a challenge when there are only so many hours in the day, but I made it a priority and have stuck with it for almost a year.0

Rachel I am headed back to grad school. I took a break after baby #2. Now I'm working on losing that weight too. I am a little concerned about balancing life while going back to school. I know that being healthy will make life so much easier. Feel free to add me I'm building support as well.0

Yeah, as far as balance goes, I am taking an extra year now just so I can build some healthy habits and actually spend time away from school before going off to a busy internship. It's definitely hard to find balance, and I keep reminding myself of the quote by Jackie O., something like, "If you don't raise your kids well, I don't think anything else you do really matters." I try to keep that in mind!0

Interesting. My sons school is telling me he may have add, and he's five. Very stressed out, came across this post. Friend request sent. I'm 32 divorced mom in new Orleans.0

<-- Doing my Ph.D. now. Just finished my second round of quals and studying for rounds 3 and 4. Round 5 in August, then I'll be in the home stretch!
I can't imagine doing this with a child, so my hat is off to you girl!0 -
HI ! Busy working mom of 2 kids so I know the feeling. MFP has been awesome. I love it. Feel free to add me. I'm on here a lot. Good luck in your journey!0

Hey Rachel! I'm about to become a grad student in the fall but I just graduated in December, so I know how busy student life can be. In fact, that's how I gained my weight! lol Please feel free to add me. I'm an MFP regular and I'm always happy to be and/or have new friends! Welcome! :flowerforyou:0
