I sent my application in for graduate school this morning! It's been finished for a little bit now, but I've been scared, LOL. I'm so scared that I can't pull off a demanding Master's Program with 4 small kids when my husband works so much and has such a demanding career himself. He'll pick up the slack for me whenever he's home, but what about when he's not??

I think I'm nuts. I don't know what I'm doing. My life is pretty good. Why am I trying to mess it up? LOL

Thanks, Michele. I'll definitely have to check it out. Maybe Monday. I'll have to search for it, but I'm sure I'll find it.

I could DEFINITELY use the support while going through this process!

I went back to school when Aly was in Kindergarten. School schedules can be set up to be so flexible, so when you have young kids in school (since yours will be 1st grade & up), you can be home when they get home, it's wonderful.

While I haven't done a rigorous Master's program yet (I plan to in the future or maybe National Board Certification, which is just as rigorous if not more so), I did take up to 22 hours a spring and a fall semester, as well as 12 hours 2 summers, and 17 & 18 hours including methods (they tried to stop me from doing this by not allowing it, I had to justify that I was able to carry all As one semester of 22 hours, and one B, the rest As another semester of 22 hours).

So I'll be glad to morally support you because I've pretty much BTDT. I earned my Bachelor's Degree cum laude thanks to my grades in college the second go-round (I started with a 3.1 GPA from my first go-round). I only made 1 B in the 112 hours I took my second go-round).

I think she will, too. Did you laugh at the orangutans? I love seeing them.
