I survived!!

Well I survived my first semester of grad school... and that's about all I can say, I survived. I can't tell you how excited I am about the month off I have before second summer session starts. To be honest, I'm not sure if I"ll continue after that... I knew it would take time, but I don't like the affect it had on me or my family life. My #1 goal was to keep it from affecting my family life to much, and hopefully I succeeded pretty well in doing that. However, the toll it took on me waiting to do school after Mackenzie was in bed or on my Friday afternoons seems to be just a little too much to handle with everything else I had going on. Granted I had other unusual circumstances this semester that added to my increased stress level, but I'm just not sure it's worth it... On top of all that I'm not enjoying it like I thought I would, not the school work but doing something for me. It's amazing what a few years and a kiddo will do to change your perspective and your priorities. I don't feel comfortable making the decision about one semester, so we'll just see what happens after the summer...
