So, I've signed up and paid for my Chemistry class that starts on August 23rd. Although it's a scary subject for me to take, never having taken anything like this before even in high school - which was waaaaaaay too many years ago to even count, I was excited to start the class.
I was trying to figure out how I was going to fit in my class and lab on Monday nights, class on Wednesday nights, 3 work-outs at the gym (minimum), Owen's preschool classes on Tuesday and Thursday morning, his fitness class on Wednesday morning with his speech on Wednesday afternoon, all the while trying to spend some time with Adam, work on projects around the house that need to get done, etc. etc. It wasn't going to be easy, but I was determined to do it. Then, about 2 weeks ago, I got this nagging feeling. This feeling that I should be doing something else that is definitely more important, especially at this time.
This "feeling" that I kept coming back to was the need to spend some more time with Caroline and Owen. What?!?! I am home ALL DAY long, how much more time do I need to spend with them? But, in looking at everything that was going on and realizing that the kids are only this small for such a short amount of time, I began to rethink the whole Chemistry class. That class is going to take every ounce of time that I have and then some. Is this really fair to my family?
Adam is supportive of me 100%, no matter what I decide to do. But, being gone for class 2 nights a week, and then wanting to go to the gym the other 3 nights, where in the world would I find the time to spend with him? Things just weren't adding up. So, this is why I'm pretty sure (80% of the way there) that I'm going to hit the pause button and postpone the chemistry class for one semester. Maybe next semester my life won't be so crazy and there will be slightly more time to accomplish all of things that I want/need to in my life.
Now, I just have to go back to the campus and get my money back. Wish me luck on that one - I think the Chemistry class might be easier. :-)
