Coming into the home stretch

I start back to school today and am so glad to see a light at the end of the tunnel. I will be taking three classes this semester, which is one more than I planned to take. But because certain classes are offered so seldom, I felt it necessary to take this third class this semester for fear it wouldn't be offered next semester. Needless to say, I am taking on a lot! Because I am near the end, my classes are more difficult which is an added stress.

The good news is I will only have one more class to take in the Spring, so my last semester will not be as stressful. It'll take me nearly five years to finish a two-year program but the way they design it, it is impossible to finish in two years because the classes are often times not offered every semester (and certainly not in the Summer) and if they are offered, they are only offered one time that semester. The students have to be EXTREMELY flexible to get their schedules to work with the school schedule. This has become quite a problem for me and many other students when it comes to the end and their aren't as many classes needed to take. And besides all that, I did take a year and a half off to carry the triplets, deliver them and get through that first year after they were born.

I will be going four days a week for a few hours on those days and my classes are in the late afternoon/evening so I still don't miss much time with the babies. I have three babysitters lined up and one back-up. I really appreciate these four ladies willingness to help me finish school despite their busy schedules. It really means a lot to me.

Please pray for me during these next four months as I take on this big load. :)

I just caught up on all your recent posts. For some reason, I've not been able to see any of the blogs that I follow for nearly a month. Enjoyed all your updates and look forward to seeing the not so baby babies every week. My kids are excited about the cousin time.
