The storm has passed and all is well

The PTA snack sale came and went and all is well. It really isn't quite the dramatic event some make it out to be. This will be the LAST one I will be scheduling or being responsible for. No more! It's just not worth the drama. All of the drama could be so easily avoided by timely planning but...oh well. That's all I have to say about the matter. Movin' on...I was able to drop all classes and will have to repay a small portion of my loan. At least I hope it's a small portion. It was either that or drop next week with an "F" and owe no money. I am already on academic probation for some things that came back to haunt me from my rebellious phase in college back in 1995! I guess it's true what they say about things always coming back to bite you. I suppose it's for the best . I really did not want to have to do this , but it has been next to impossible to get to class and to find someone to tend to my children. We are down to one vehicle now and hubby has had a schedule (shift) change at work. (Thanks FED-EX!!) There was no way this was going to end well. I refuse to pick up my kids from someone's house so late (9:00 ish)and have someone else do what I, as a mother, am supposed to do for them. At least when Mario was here with them in the evening it was Daddy taking care of dinner and baths and homework. I can tell the kids are still adjusting to the changes. Once they were settled into their routine the shift change happened, which I might add was not by choice, and they had a hard time getting into the swing of things. I felt it best not to stir things up anymore by having to find a way to school and leaving them with relatives from 4:30 to 9:00 every weeknight. I am still trying to get over the whole guilt thing. Iwill go to school in the Spring, but I think this time I will be realistic about what I can actually take on. It's just so frustrating being so close to being done and not being able to finish. I guess that kind of goes back to the whole coming back to bite you thing in that I should have finished when I started many, many years ago! Life's lessons are funny like that. It's all going to be okay! Tomorrow is another day:)

dropping my classes

I really thought I was ready to take on the world , but the Lord has other plans for me. So many obstacles have come up and it is impossible to maintain a full time job, full time school, and a family life. I was doing really well at first and then everything just went wrong. Okay maybe not wrong , but at least not the way I had planned. I hate that I have to wait to become a teacher in the classroom. I know in my heart that this is what I want more than anything and I just have to accept that some sacrifices will have to be made. I have to come to the realization that I can NOT do everything. Maybe next semester things will be better and I can try again. Right now I have decided to take one day at a time. I can try to be superwoman some other time. Today is just not the day.
