My four kids have been amazing with me being in school full-time, the oldest two, Dennis & Kiesha have stepped up to the plate and take care of their younger siblings in my absence. I've even had time to decorate the house a little, kitchen face-lift; new paint, new countertops, new dining table set, etc... it feels great! The livingroom is next, then the bathroom.
I thought that being in school was going to be harder, than it actually is. I've gotten a routine down and it has helped to keep me on track. I have managed to get good grades in most of my classes for the 1st semester, except math. But, I've started a study group last week and already got 95% on my last weekly quiz. happy-happy, joy-joy!! The sky is the limit, I tell my kids that you can be anything that you want to be, a Doctor or a Lawyer... yet I'm sitting in a position were it's become a reality for me and I've never dreamed that I'd be here. I could be a Doctor AND a Lawyer, if I wanted to get my psychology phD and a law degree... I can do that! weird.
Dennis will be graduating from high school this year, I worry about him because he doesn't have any set goals for education or a career, which leaves room for him to get lost and wonder around aimlessly, getting into trouble. It would be such a waste because he's very intelligent and it would be nice to see him aspire to greatness. But I have to give him space to find his own way and hope that he comes back when he's ready.
