Im so excited!! Well you know how the song goes----and I just cant hide it. Just wanted to share. My Divorce has been final for about a month now. Last week I got my results for my GED that I took. I past with flying colors---most of the scores were above average. And here for years I didnt think i could take it and pass it, or that i would have to take it over and over to pass it. Basically becouse x hubby told me how stupid I was daily. Well I didnt have to retake any of them.
Monday I went to a local college and enrolled for a Medical Office Degree. Yesterday I went and got all my financial aide apps done, found out what I will be getting. Most of the cost of the school is covered by grants, a few hundred with a student loan, and Im left with about $1500 for living expense for the first semester.
I start on Sept. 5th. I cant wait to get started! It is going to take my almost 3 years to complete becouse I opted to go p.t., just dont think i can swing it with three kids and a fulltime job. I dont expect any help from Ex in babysitting department for the two nights a week I will be going to classes. I am so thankful that I have a wonderful and rather large family that has helped me so much through all of this and who are willing to sit with the kids.
Our trip to Disney World is just 26 days away! We received all our stuff from the travel agent today in the mail. Kids are super excited and Im right behind them.
Have a great night to all!

That is wonderful, wonderful news! Congratulations! It's amazing the things we hold ourselves back from doing when we're stuck in unhappy marriages. It's fantastic to have the doors of opportunity open up. I'm going back to college this semester myself. Instead of taking one class every few years (due to money and not being able to take on student loans because of ex's debt), I'm going 3/4 time and should finish up in about two years.
Time to crack open the books...lol!
