Trying in the Bush

My friend laughed at me yesterday, said it was a bit backwards that I was starting college and trying to have a baby.  Made me realize that this would be exactly what we preach against to kids all the times... students having babies, how hard it is to go to school with a baby.  I think the biggest difference, besides the fact that I'm a bit older then most students (Don't pop my bubble, I try to pretend I'm still young!) is that I am doing my college online, so it is more at my own pace.  In fact 3/4th of my Early Childhood Education class has small children or babies, so if they can do it so can I!  I'm so excited to be back in school, a college degree is something I never thought I would have, never really wanted it too much, I am quite happy being a stay at home mom, however as I get older (there I admitted it!) and my husband gets older mortality and reality both show up on the big screen in HD quality!  If something happened to my husband I want to know that I can give my children a good life, besides I preach education to my kids all of the time, now is the time to set a good example by finishing my own education.  I am currently working on an Associate Degree in Early Childhood Education, but hope to finish with a Master's degree in Elementary education.  I would love to teach Elementary school, those are some of my favorite years, besides the pre-school years ( I adore pre-schoolers!).  Who am I kidding I pretty much love all but the teen years, and there are even some things about the teen years I adore!
So hopefully class now will help divert my attention to this horrible wait for my first appointment and relieve a bit of the blah's I've bee feeling lately!
