Wow, life is so busy for me. Ups and downs, back and forth. I thought I was busy before, now I hardly see life.
School takes all of my free time, what little time I have left to myself I use to clean my house, do laundry and shop for food. My kids are number 1 in my life, I try to put them before anything but I have to admit, sometimes they don't get the attention they deserve.
Last night Madi asked for me to read her a book before she went to sleep. I use to do this every night with my kids, I forgot how much I like to do this with them. I told her I couldn't because I was too tired and still had about an hour of homework to do. I promised her I would read her two books tonight and I plan on sticking to that promise.
I have had the privilege of being home with my kids. I really enjoyed it, however I think I took it for granted. I tried to be the best Mom for them; we went to the Zoo, museums, parks and swimming. I would get on the floor and play Polly Pockets with Madi, I'd play video games with Max and his Yu Gi Oh cards with him. Now I have a hard time finding time to reading to them. Going back to work was hard, going to school is even harder. I have sat down with Max & Madi and we have talked about what I'm doing and why I can't be there for them every time. They seem to be ok with it. Both Max and Madi, in our family prayers at night, bless me each time to help me finish my homework and that I will be happy. I'm happy knowing that they love me and understand. I truly have great kids!!
Life is an adventure, this adventure will be over so quickly. I am finishing my first quarter of classes and have finals next week. It's already been 9 weeks and I can't believe it goes this fast. I think I have a pretty good handle on what is expected of me for school, I have an A in both classes and I want to keep it that way. I'm pretty proud of myself for doing this and I'm excited to be the second person in my family of 10 to have a college degree. I know I'm helping my family with this decision, I just can't wait to see where live will lead me. I just have to stay sane to make it thru the next few months.
