Going back to school

Jeff has been pressuring me for a couple of years to consider going back to school. I have been dragging my feet because to be honest I did not know what I wanted to do and I am a little intimidated by the amount of time it will take. Plus I have been so sick of Jeff being in school and all the time that takes so it has put a real sour taste in my mouth. Not to mention the costs involved in going back to school. Well I was laid off of work for the winter and realized that I am so bored! Maybe I am not a good mom but cleaning the house all day long and playing Batman and Lego's just doesn't do it for me and it started me thinking. I am not going to want to work at my current job for the rest of my life, don't get me wrong, I love my job and it has been a huge blessing for me and my family, we need the job and hopefully things will pick up at work soon and I will be able to go back to work. But my kids are getting older, I will be home alone with all my kids at school in 3 years. Kelsi is all ready going all day in 1st grade, Gabe is starting kindergarten in the summer and Tory is 3 years away from going. I don't want to be one of those mom's that falls back on a job they don't enjoy just to make ends work or because they don't know what else to do with themselves. So I applied for financial aid just to see if I would get some money to qualify and start taking some of the general requirements. Well I got financial aid and I got admitted to SLCC, I plan on taking Internet courses as much as I can and for the next 3 years and go part time... When Tory goes to school and maybe if we get out of debt and can pay for preschool a little earlier, I will start going full time to school.
The cool thing about all of this is I found a career path that I want to do and I am really excited to do. The end goal is going to be a physical therapist. It is a long road to take, and I probably wont graduate until I am 40, but you know I am going to turn 40 one way or not so I might as well start learning some stuff a long the way. I have 2 years to get my AS, (associates of science), then I need a bachelors degree, which I am leaning towards Exercise and Sports Science or Occupational Therapy.. then I get to do the physical therapy program which is a 2 year program.
But I think this career path is a great path for me to take, I will be able to be with my family when they are home and I will be able to take care of my family better.
I love my family and my kids and want to be the best I can for them, I know this is going to take a lot of sacrifice and work, but Jeff is behind me 110% and we will find a way to make this all work as best as we can.
