This blog is dedicated any mom or dad who feels like they can't go to school and get an education. It is hard for sure but not impossible, I am going to prove it!
Is it possible to be tired of homework before it even has bees assigned? Yes...pretty sure! You see, my homework is 24/7 and has been for nearly 6 years now. May 15, 2005 I became a mother. It wasn't until 2007 that I finally ended up in a college classroom. I was 23 (then mom of 2), in a room full of 18 year olds, feeling like I had "old fart" stamped on my forehead. The really stupid part is that I wasn't the oldest student in the room, not by a long shot. No one even seemed to notice I was any different than any other nervous freshman waiting to jot down every word the professor said. No matter the forgiving reality, I felt dumb, old, and icky.
It has been almost 4 years since that day, and not much has changed ;-) I have met many more parent/students though...and that is always fun. The problem there is that since we all are so busy juggling family and school, there is no time for classmate friends ha ha! If I see a friend outside of class at least once in a semester I consider it victory! So why do I do it? Same reason as anyone else I think...I don't want to give my 3 precious girls a crap start in life. I don't mind having little by way of possessions, but my children deserve better than that right? They need things like food, shoes, and at least an occasional bath! It's up to me (and my husband Joe...who is also in school right now) to take care of such needs.
Every day is eventful and entertaining...each week I will try to blog the highlights. When it all comes down to it, life is better when it's full :)
