You May Be Right. I May Be Crazy.
Go figure.
Juggling motherhood, household duties, and part-time work wasn't enough for me. So I'm going back to school.
For a number of reasons, I'm not using the Bachelor's degree I earned from Mizzou, but I want to expand my skills in my current line of work, so I'm going to pursue my paralegal certificate.
I think I got a little carried away. I'm taking 3 hours this summer. One course. No biggie. But this fall I've registered for 12 hours. Twelve! Four accelerated courses. What was I thinking? It will be incredibly jam-packed, with Laurel entering a new school and all of us adjusting to that as well as my new schedule. But in January I'll be halfway to my goal, so (I hope) it will be worth it.
My driving force is Greg, who has always encouraged me to do what I want to do. As if he doesn't already have enough to do, he's tacitly agreed to take on all the extra work with the kids while I'm in class so I can go do this. He is my hero, and I don't say that lightly. I have not always been fortunate enough to have this much encouragement behind my endeavors, and I hope he knows I recognize how much he's doing.
