Crunch time - exams are coming...

My only exam is in a week. I'm looking forward to it (gasp!). Well, exams are a great way of making you work hard and consolidate info, so studying for an exam can be quite an enjoyable process. But often my only study time is 9pm at night (like now...) and I so am not up for reading and thinking...so here's my secret. Multi-tasking...yes - I do it...and it's been successful so far. Here's an insight into how I studied today: Firstly, Caleb had a nap - so up came the commentary. Then we went for a walk, I sang Old MacDonald had a farm (always end up wondering what sounds a chook makes) and read my commentary whilst pushing him to Salvos - I was looking for a "trolley with bricks" (that's what Toby calls it - us Aussies would say a "cart with blocks") for Caleb to push around because he's trying to pull himself up on EVERYTHING!. Then later on he played happily for 10 mins whilst I read. Then we went shopping...well, that was the plan. We drove the 5 min to the shops, he fell asleep on the way - and since he was tired and had been pretty grumpy I let him be...and pulled out my commentary (and some pen and paper). 1 & 1/2 hr later I left the shops, having never gotten out of the car since he hadn't woken up, and the Westfield Parking ticket only gives you 2 hrs free. But I'd got some good work done. Yay! Don't stress - I got some milk on the way home at an unusual corner store (I always how they make money...hmmm). And here I am procrastinating tonight. So, that's probably 2 -3 hrs work done today. And time to digest it whilst washing, playing, chatting with a friend, exercising and calming a teething child. I'm not trying to be a supermum, just enjoying the time I have to reflect on Deuteronomy, and loving it. Enjoy the opportunities that your situation in life affords. And you're welcome to go for a walk with me and Caleb anytime...I promise I won't read - I'll talk with you. And hopefully I won't walk into any poles...
