Oh wait, have I mentioned that I’ve decided it’s about time I get off my ass and do something productive with my free time (you know that time at night when real people are sleeping.) and get my degree??

So, about a month ago I contacted the University of Phoenix (online) about enrolling. Well, I did it! For the last 2 weeks I have been attending my first 2 (of many) classes online. In those 2 weeks, I am pleased to report….not only have I not dropped out, but I’m also pulling perfect scores on all of my assigned material.

But seriously……why did I think now was such a good time in my life to attempt to conquer the task at hand? There are all kinds of obstacles in my way…..huge billboards that say…..you have A LOT on your plate already, how the hell are you going to do this??? Where to begin—-how about the fact that summer is fast approaching and I have 3 kids who are going to want to enjoy it! Did I mention that of those 3 kids, one of them is only 14 months old and requires constant supervision and attention?? Or how about a daughter who is involved in soccer this year and plays 2 nights a week. Oh yeah, and a 10 year old son who also plays baseball 2 nights a week. And…..and not only are they both in a sport that they play 2 nights a week…..but they play on the same damn nights and 9 times out of 10 @ the same damn time! But I don’t want to forget that the oldest 2 are also enrolled in summer school so add in the time for transporting them to and from summer school 5 days week for 6 weeks. Then I have to schedule some family time in there as well along with me time, time to relax and hubby time. After all is said and done it doesn’t leave me with a lot of extra time to communicate in online forums for school, doing homework, studying and researching…..but somehow I will find the time!!!! It will be worth it!! When I am finally done with school (2 years from now) I will be able to announce that I have earned an Associate’s Degree in Information Technology & Web Development—-l Lord only knows what I will do with that!

So—call me crazy—-but I think I can actually do this!

Anyone else doing the same???
