RE: Finding a Job That Will Pay for School
I am sure if you approached an Accountancy Firm
they could be interested in helping you out with a job and it would be good experience for when you
have finished your degree. ... View related article.

RE: Managing Time as a Working Woman
Hi, Try this.
Get up half hour or so earlier in the mornings, cut your vegetables and leave soaking in cold water, this will not harm them and they are ready to either pop on the stove or drain and put into the microwave.

When cooking meat dishes, pasta etc. cook double or triple quantities, use 1 serving then freeze into meal sizes then you will have enough for another meal, do this with several
varieties of meal and rotate. This will help with the meals.

Cleaning, Once you have your home spick and span it would only be necessary to clean the rooms you use the most, example, Kitchen,dining etc. every 1-2 days the other rooms
you can clean one at a time to keep tidy. If nobody is in the home during the day there shouldn`t be that much to do.

Shopping: Organize what dishes you want for say 2-3 weeks and shop accordinly in one large shopping day.(Not fruit & Veg though). This will release you from the need to always be at the Supermarket and save heaps of time.

Baking: Can always have a Baking day from time to time choosing recipes that are easy to make and able to freeze.

See if you can get your Husband to do the dishes and maybe clean the Bathroom as I know many do not wish to do what they refer to as Womans Work. Try and get a few things done before leaving for work and then again a few extra jobs done in the evening.

I have found this works well, I am in my 70`s and still working 6 days a week running a Business alone and still manage to get everything done. Good Luck, Hope this helps. Lorimay Perth Western Australia. ... View related article.
