I haven't really known what to write about lately.. as much as I believe this week is going by slow.. life seems to be speeding past me. Today I am taking Griffin to get his 18 months pictures taken.. a year and a half... how did that happen? Where has the time gone? So many people, in and out of our lives. So many things changing. Riley is 7 and starting flag football in 2 weeks, and then 2nd grade... that's just weird. And Then I'm starting school in two weeks.. I'm going to be a Nurse. Really.. I'm actually doing something productive and withstanding for our lives. And the most immediate thing is it's going to take a few years to accomplish.. but it's going to take care of us.
I want so badly to be successful. To ace every course and be a great student. And be on the Dean's list. I really want to succeed and do something I can be proud of and my parents can be proud of. I really just want to be able to take care of my kids and not ever have to worry again about when the child support is coming in and revolve my life around how much money there is and what bills need to be paid and what's left to get stuff for the boys. I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck. I want to take the boys on vacation. And have the money to do whatever they want.
Life is about to get crazy.. I'm not even sure what days we'll have free except maybe Fridays. Monday-Friday Riley has school and I have Theo. Monday through Wednesday I have night school and sometime I have to do my online class. Tuesday and Thursday Riley will have football practice and games on Saturday/Sundays.. And every Thursday, Riley still has Therapy from 5-6pm. And somewhere in there Griffin will need to be potty trained and get into his own room so he can learn to sleep in his bed... And somewhere in there, I am going to make a night to just spend with the boys... and one day in there there (at least a few hours)... I'm going to make sure I have time for myself... So Mommy doesn't go insane. :) and hopefully we'll get the basement finished and the boys and I will get into our space.. maybe by Christmas.. if it's finished.. we'll get a puppy.
It's going to be crazy. Next semester, I'll be taking another three classes and summertime, probably two classes, every summer. And next Fall, I need to up it to 4-5 classes. The most important thing is that I do well in my classes and I get them done as quickly as possible. I have to get 72 credits before I graduate. It seems like so many, but I know once I get more into school, some of them are worth 4 credits instead of 3.. so that cuts down on it..
I am so ready for this. I am 26 and I am going to graduate and have a profession before I'm 30. There are no ifs ands or buts about it.
Today, I am so grateful I am strong. So thankful I am willing and able to fight for what I want and achieve it. I am so happy I am the type of Mother that I can raise my sons to be strong, because I am and I am their example.
