As you probably know, I am a law student who is a wife and a homeschooling mother of three children. I am finishing up my second year, and I am reflecting on all of the things that I have learned thus far.\u00a0 I have learned some amazing things about the law and how this world works, but I have also learned a great deal about myself and motherhood, and I am excited to share those lessons with you. I shared the first three lessons here<\/a>, and I am sharing three more today.\u00a0(This is part two of a three part series. You can read lessons 1-3 in part I here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

4. It is a marathon, not a sprint.<\/strong> In law school you can\u2019t just react to things as they come. Assignments are given on the syllabus on the first day of classes for a reason.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t just to give you a heads up \u2013 it is so that you can start early and do the best work that you can do.\u00a0 In law school, I learned that it is not 3 months of stretching, then a sprint in the last month to the finish line. It is a marathon. Stretch and start running \u2013 you know where you are going, so start doing what you have to do to finish the race.\u00a0 Motherhood is that marathon too.\u00a0 It seems like a series of tasks that you see coming and just deal with when they come up, but it\u2019s not. It\u2019s not just about preparing your child for individual tests, but making sure they are prepared for life. It\u2019s not just about getting a date night away from the kids with your husband, it is about having a successful marriage.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just about carving out time to have a tea party, it is letting your daughter know that you will always make time for her, today, and every day.<\/p>\n

5. Prioritize.<\/strong> I was just talking with Kerry of <\/span>CarryOnFriends.com<\/a> (business resources for Caribbean Americans) about this.\u00a0 Different classes in law school are worth a different number of credits. \u00a0While I would love to study for all classes equally, as a wife and mom of 3 kids that we homeschool, that is impossible. If I have a 4 credit class, and a 2 credit class? That 4 credit class is higher on my priority list.\u00a0 I am too old not to get this law school thing right.\u00a0 Then there are the other things BESIDES school that are high on my priority list \u2013 like my husband and the kids. There are only 24 hours in a day, and I am told that I should be sleeping for about 8 of those.\u00a0 Of the remaining hours, I am either studying or in class for 8 of them on some days. That leaves me only 6 hours to talk with my husband, hang out with the kids, assign and check school work, write\u2026 clearly I don\u2019t have much time left for my hair, nails, and other extra things. So I prioritize. What gives me the most \u201cmommy credits?\u201d\u00a0 Showing up on time to pick kids up from lessons and practices get 4 credits, as do getting their lesson plans done, and spending time laughing and talking with my husband.\u00a0 These days laundry is only 2 credits \u2013 don\u2019t judge me.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Mornings are a gift, don’t waste them.<\/strong> Once I started law school, those 8 am and 9 am classes made me realize that I needed to be up and working in the morning, not just up.\u00a0 We began a 5 am schedule that included studying, cleaning, laundry, and homeschool \u00a0– all before I went to my first class.\u00a0 By the time I got to class I was ready to learn, and not dreading coming home to a long to do list.\u00a0 I have always been that \u201cearly to bed, early to rise\u201d type. My mornings have always been important to me, but they haven\u2019t always been THAT productive. It has been a lot of me puttering around, thinking, looking at the kids while they sleep, making lists, sipping my tea, and sneaking in a show or two on Netflix. I have had to be at work at those early hours, but\u2026 coffee\u2026 a little email\u2026 my second breakfast\u2026 chit chat\u2026 wait for the stragglers to come in\u2026 THEN start really working around 11. Law school taught me that to be really productive and make the most of my day, I can\u2019t waste those precious morning hours. I have to get as much done early in the morning as possible, so that I can relax and live the rest of my life in the afternoon and evening.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have learned a few more lessons from being a law student that I applied to motherhood, and I am sharing them with you in three separate blog posts. The first one is here<\/a>. Follow me on Facebook<\/a> or Twitter<\/a> to see when the next lessons are posted.<\/span><\/p>\n
