i have been trying to decide whether or not to continue on with my grad school classes to get another master's degree. i have completed one, yaaaah me. i am in the process of my second.
the first one was a no brainer. it was free, and not too far from home, one day a week. this one was not free, and i have not really ever been sure if two master's are really that much better than one.
i do know that while i am away at school, my children are growing. while i am stressing over papers, my family is having fun without me. while i am sitting with my buddy microsoft office, my baby is learning to crawl.
my husband and i sat down tonight and had a long discussion. he is very good to bounce things off of because, unlike me, he is truly non judgmental. he analyzes facts and makes decisions based on the facts. no emotions, just true reason. i toy with decisions, agonize over my own guilt, begin to think irrationally about the outcomes.
after 6 long weeks of my own internal deliberation, i have made the decision to take my msn and be complete! i am officially done with school after this monday night.
i have made a 4.0 and will have the pretty little initials behind my name.
i feel like a giant weight is off my shoulders.
my first monday night off i am going out for pizza with the kids to celebrate.
jeff and i are both officially done with school. finally an outside weight has been released, giving me a little more breathing room with my top priority - my family.

Woostie - you are a true champion. You are an amazing mother and you love your children and Jeff so beautifully with your whole heart, and it's obvious. You should feel extremely proud of ALL of your accomplishments and never feel guilty for selecting one thing over another. Your intentions are beautiful and admirable. I love you, friend! Congrats on your MSN initials... that's COOL! Someday you can explain it to me, smartypants! :)
