I am still in disbelief at the decision I have made within the last few days--I am going back to school this semester. This semester starts tomorrow.For about a month now my mind has occasionally wandered to the somewhat forsaken master's degree I started in 2008. I had never made a plan for exactly how I would finish those last 11 credits, and tended to push the idea away most of the time. The thought of taking classes made me feel guilty for some reason--mostly because I would be robbing our bank account for tuition money and robbing our baby of mommy-time.
But on Thursday those 11 credits seemed to haunt me. I couldn't stop thinking about them.
Friday morning I met with my adviser. Friday afternoon I signed up for classes. If all goes well, those 11 credit hours will be shaved down to 4 by May, and my degree will be just a workshop and an online class away from completion. Finally, I have a plan. The haunting is over, and guilt-management has begun. As long as I can keep that guilt in check, however, I think the next few months will be both exciting and rewarding. My thanks to all who have extended their support and made this possible. School of Music, here I come . . . again . . .

Good for you my dear. Educating yourself will only make you a better mommy. Your amazing Ivy.
Ivy!
Congrats on a huge decision! It's the perfect time to do this because you would have to start over anywhere else! No more haunting for you! Karen
Good for you Ivy!!!!!!! You inspire me.
Congrats! I hope it goes smoothly with everything else you have going on!
Good luck with school! You are a trooper. I don't have the desire to even pick up a book-well I read cookbooks and fun books all of the time, but school books, I think not. Love and miss you guys!
Congrats! What a great time to do it!
