BIG Changes

Soooo it started when I realized that I should probably help our family out by finding a job. At first I thought, something part time to help bring in just enough and at the same time I can be with my girls most of the day. Then I thought, well I should probably take a night class too, so I can get closer to finishing school (I've done little by little since having Shell.)
After job hunting I realized A.Jobs ARE almost impossible, I used to Sub and they haven't hired back in a couple years and even retail is difficult B.IF a place was hiring they wanted you there anytime, anyday. So I thought...ok I guess I can't be picky, I need to just find a place and work whenever THEY need me and forget school.
Then I started thinking...and thinking...about a dream I once had. Something I've almost done TWICE but let excuses get in the way. Why not start comsotologiy school? I first looked into it before Ben and I got married, but thought No I have too many wedding plans and "fun" stuff to do! Then I was going to do it after Michelle was born but thought No...I want to spend time with her. But all that time has flown by and I realize if I had just done it, then I would have something right NOW when I need it.
If you know me you know I love beauty, fashion etc. This is something I will truly enjoy. AND it can be something I can do part-time once I'm finished. I've talked to 3 schools and after some major praying and planning I should have a decision soon and start in the summer.
The down side is you never get ANY time off, and its 8-5. But if I was working, it would be doing the same thing. There are many many positives on the list and the time is the only "negative" But if I just go and do it now, I'll be done in less then a year, which will fly by! Before I know it I can be doing something I love and still have most of my time home with kids.
You have to be extremly disaplined to do this when you have a family at the same time, but this is something I can do for me and at the same time help my family.

So...we'll see what happens, its not 100% yet but writing my idea out there makes it easier to think! LOL Any advice would be great.


Regency, my top pick so far. Its very close so thats a big plus, and about to open next month...so New!
