Ok - made it through a whole semester...and made the PRESIDENT'S LIST! I CAN do this! It has been a real challenge, complete with tornadoes, quitting my job, and a switch in majors, but I think I am finally on track.
On April 27th, my area,(heck, my whole state!) was ravaged by killer tornadoes. Seeing the devastation made me long to be able to help like I never had before. My kids and I volunteered in disaster relief, and did what we could, but I knew I wanted to do more. After prayerful consideration, I decided to become an RN, and so, now, I am working to get into Nursing School. I can clearly see God's Hand at work in my life, and I am so grateful! My prayer is that He will enable me to affect the lives of others in a good way, and that I will overcome the parts of MYSELF that stand in the way of that.
Praise God, I'm on my way!

Starting over in 2011
Well, I just applied to college. Again. And I'm almost 40. Just seeing those words scares me to death.
With work, and the kids, and church, and couponing, and the housework; it feels like I work two full-time jobs right now, so I don''t know HOW I will also fit a full-time college career into it for the next two years. But, with God's grace, and a great sense of humor, and, (PLEASE GOD) some kind of Financial Aid, I will make it through. Right?
Well, we shall see how a Fabulous (Almost) Forty-Year Old will handle hanging with the Gen-?ers. (I don't even know what they are called~!) Here we go!
