A Day in the Life of a Mom-Herbalism Student

This daily blog is about the struggles of juggling motherhood with being a full-time student. I also share information each day on herbs that I've learned along this journey. The herbs I am currently discussing are all things I received in my lab kits for class, meaning I get to actually work with them and pass on first-hand knowledge. While my herbariums are listed for free membership, I provide four fields from them in my blog: Constituents (the active ingredients of the herbs), the therapeutic actions (Examples are expectorant and stimulant), indications (colds, skin rashes, emphysema, etc), and safety information. More information can be found in the herbariums but these are the most important educational fields.

Membership to this site is free.

It is exam day. I am NOT ready. However, I still have 2 papers to finish and another exam to study for. I have no more time. The good news is this is the class I have the best grade in so maybe I can pull this off. We'll see. Lack of sleep these past 2 days has been horrendous on my studying. I was up many times last night as well but I still got better sleep than the 2 previous nights. The kids are fed. I'm trying to finish my breakfast but I think I'm just going to hang that up. I plan to take this test as soon as my son goes down for his nap. My daughter is extremely whiny this morning so she may be napping here soon as well... lol She did get some good sleep last night though. I'm not even sure she moved though she did kick daddy out of bed again. One of the sets of Tinkerbell dishes came for her yesterday. I took the water bottle out and gave it to her so I can get mine washed. The rest will be given on her birthday. Apparently both plates are heart-shaped, I thought it was only 1. Yeah, even the bowl is shaped like a heart. She is going to be such a happy little girl! LOL My son keeps drinking from her water bottle causing drama so I guess when I get time, I need to find one in Cars. Time to get off here and see if I can retain anything else before I I get this done. Have a great day!

I am currently a student at American College of Healthcare Sciences earning my Masters of Science degree in Herbal Medicine. This blog is my journey of juggling mom-life with student life. My husband is a truck driver so I'm essentially a single mom all but 3 days a month. It's a challenge but we will get through this. I complete this degree on 18 December 2019 and will take one additional semester and then be done for a while. I'm looking for funding for that final semester so I may be done at the end of December if I can't find any. I plan to write books and continue here on my blog after I complete school. My children need more attention from their mommy but I can't wait on getting this education done. I will do what I must for now.
