Life Keeps on Rollin

Having my first ultrasound helped solidify many things in my life. I am still very much in the air as to school, work, and the after life of my second phase of motherhood. I am patiently (well not really) waiting to recieve my second offer letter for the RN program; however, I am concerned that I will not be able to juggle that much and fairly give of myself to my family. Yahweh will put everything into effect, but I have to pray that he will put understanding and patience into my heart because I am EXTRA EAGER right now. I can feel my life sitting on the edge of Mt. Rushmore right now as I prepare to embark on so many journeys. As a mother, your dreams do not have to take a sudden hault, but I know that as a mother I dedicate 1000% of myself to my children first and foremost - nursing, nurturing, loving, and uplifting. I want my baby to have the same opporunities my first child had. Do I go to school full-time in the Fall, work part-time, or not at all? I enjoy the comfort of having 2 steady paychecks coming into the house and taking the stress off my husbands back. His efforts before were stupendous with our first child, but the financial burden was difficult. I dont really want to be there again though. Either way...life WILL keep rollin on - we will reach our aspirations BECAUSE we put forth the effort.
