Going Back to School...

Oh my gosh!!  I can't believe I am doing this.  I am heading back to college.  I have not stepped foot in a classroom as a student in 19 years.  What have I gotten myself into???

I will be attending Mansfield University for Elementary Education with a secondary certificate in Early Childhood.  I have worked in child care for over 20 years.  I keep trying to get out, but it keeps sucking me back in.  Even though I have the experience to be a director for a center, I do not have that piece of paper.  So, instead of being an aide the rest of my life, I have decided to do something about it. 

My first day of classes is August 31st.  So, I have less than a week to be "free".  The kids first day of school is the same day.  Thankfully, my schedule for this term is pretty good.  I can be home to get Grace on the bus most days.  And I will be home before the kids two days a week and not long after the other three.  Thankfully, my early days coincide with Steve coaching football and Grace doing cheerleading.  It's going to be busy.

I am scared to death, but I am also really looking forward to this.  Keeping my fingers crossed all goes well....
