Going Back to School Blues!

Posted on the 01 August 2012 by Mamawithflavor @MaWithFlavor
Hello all! I am sorry I haven't updated you all on my family's hair journeys. Things have been busy around here. Plus, my children love to use the computers or any electronic device, and I don't get much time on the computer or my mobile anyway. I have to snatch away a device for a few mins to update my FB ;) I have neglected pinterest and even instagram! Anyway, right now I have the computer to myself since I  have to pay lovely, lovely bills. Blegh.
So,  wanted to share with you all that I will be going back to school after an 8 year.....er break. After not focusing on my classes the last semester I was in school, I left. I didn't have to, but I did it because I thought it'd make my father the happiest if I joined the AF anyway.
 The benefit of joining the air force was that I'd get financial help if I decided to go to school. After my time was up in the Air Force, I was pregnant and married with a 1 year old. The thought of going back to school scared me to death. After my daughter was a bit older and sleeping 13 hours a day ( NOT A TYPO!) and my husband was back from his deployment, I was ready to get back into school. Theeeeeeeeeeeeeen. I got pregnant....we sort of planned to have another one but a year later when I was back into the school routine and couldn't quit lol. But we got pregnant earlier than expected, then I got too scared.
 We moved to a new city, and my son was a bit a of a handful so I let fear takeover me again. When we moved, I talked to the education adviser a few times, but never followed through. Then I started to doing this blog and realized how much work was putting into it (when I posting regularly) and realized I could put this energy and then some towards school. I was hesitant at first, but after talking to mom a few times about my educational plans, I believed the time was now. I finally sent off my forms to the VA and after a nearly 2 month wait, I got the certificate!! I went to the education office applied for school and tonight I am registering for classes. I was really excited, but now I am terrified. The first two weeks of school, my husband will not be home. I have a class I take in person and another one online (easing my way back) So I have to juggle school, children, keeping a nice-ish, eh who I am kidding, keeping the home from burning down, taking my son to school, my daughter and son to gymnastics/ballet my word.
Anyone else return to school after a long hiatus? How did you deal? What kind of online courses did you take? Any recommendations on how to juggle everything. I am a nervous wreck.
