August 24, 2004 Someday I'm gonna go back to school. I know it shouldn't bother me because I've got a really great job that only improves the longer I'm there, but it really just irks me that I don't have a college degree. I loved school! I love learning, and I think that's why I hate not having that degree. But I made the choices I made because that was what was best for my family at the time. And in three years, I'm SO back to school!
I needed to see this today. The past couple of days have been not-so-stellar. Right now, I am killing time in between a major meltdown (thank GOD for girlfriends!) and picking up the kids from school. So, I decided to check out the bloggy place I had before I became Glamorous Redneck. And I started at my very first month of blogging. This is the entry I found. I can’t believe I really am doing this craziness! But, I somehow am. I am exhausted, on the brink of insanity, crazily overwhelmed, but I actually set my mind to something and achieved it. Granted, it wasn’t exactly three years from when I wrote that entry, but it was exactly when I was supposed to start.
So, this is what it’s like to have a goal and see the achievement of that goal not to far away in the distance? I think it’s almost better because I had forgotten that I made this goal for myself. I wanted to go back to school. I wanted to be a teacher. And now, I’m doing it.
Like I said, I needed to be reminded of this today.

that's exactly like me finding this in an old notebook the other day.
sometimes i think we forget how far we've come... how big of a deal certain things were to us at one point because we almost take them for granted now... it's good to be reminded, isn't it?
Hang in there...you're doing great! Overwhelmed is my middle name these days with 3 kids 3 and under. I think a lot about what I'm going to do when my kids leave in 15 years. It scares me, I tell ya.
hello... hapi blogging... have a nice day! just visiting here....
