It's hockey season again. And that means I am a single parent (pretty much) for the next 5 months or so! The only thing different about this year is that I am going back to school starting January 17th! I'm crazy I know...
Poor John will have to balance hockey and the girls for 11weeks (M-F 8-2pm). For him it will be hell, for me a little piece of Heaven. I can't wait to hear him say, "We NEED you, we can't do this without you, I never knew how hard it is..." You get my drift, right?! Although I can imagine he will be in a bad mood most days, GREAT! I feel bad for the hockey girls, he will probably skate them a lot, sorry!! (that means sprinting on skates for a LONG time for those of you who don't live in hockey world, like me)
Off to school I go. I am actually doing the CNA program through Maine Medical Center. The best part is, it's FREE! AND once I get hired they will give me $$$$ to go back to school to get my RN! Which is my goal, but to have it paid for, even better!
I love being a SAHM, but I'm not going to lie, it's getting old. I feel like I don't appreciate my kids, and what I mean by that is I never get a chance to MISS them! I am ALWAYS with at least one of them! I will continue to stay home with them, scheduling my future classes around preschool, and such, but I can't wait to be around other adults! And the $$$ part is also going to help us out. We budget things now, but when I am and RN making lots of $$$ I can go out and buy whatever I want, yippeeeeee! ( for the most part) I just won't feel so restricted, you know what I mean??
And I have to go, why you ask...??? Crying and coughing from short and blond, she's up from her 40 minute nap, my poor baby isn't feeling well! :(
I will keep you all updated on school, and everything else!
This is a blog for all of the Mom's and mom-to-be's out there. I love being able to stay home with my two girls, but it can be very challenging... I will share stories and news with everyone as they happen! I hope that I can make you at the very least smile if not pee your pants laughing!!! Enjoy!

Awesome!!!! I can SO relate to every part of this post, except that I'm NOT going to school. Tell me more about this free schooling?!?!?!
I love your blog. I relate entirely to everything you say about the process of SAHMing "getting old," the guilt associated with that, and missing the cuteness of their baby years. I love the stage the girls are in now, but it does seem like every stage comes with new and exhausting (for the parents!) challenges.
