new class :(

Well, my last class went pretty well.  It was probably the easiest class I will take over the next four years and the current class is probably the hardest class I will take. 
I came out of my last class with a solid A and was only a few points shy of 100%.
My new class is Christian Worldview or CWV-101.  So far I have leaned a little about myself, or should I say relearned  few things about myself, like that  am really good at B.S.ing my way through essays or worksheets that I really have no clue what the teacher is looking for at all.  I've learnd about Naturalists, and this week we are studing Secular Humanists.  There really is nothing that I will learn in this class that I will need for my degree, however, I may gain an undertanding of other types of people and what they believe rather than continuing to live in my little bubble with the limited information that I have about other religions.

Being a mom and student is not easy, but at the same time, when you are only taking one class at a time it is not all that hard either.  Figureing out a schedule that works for your house, your family, your school work is the best thing to do.  We have found a pretty good rythum that works for our family.  It's not always the easiest for me to get my housework done, my schoolwork done, playtime with my kids, time with my husband.  I am having to learn to let a few things go and not worry about having what I feel or think is the perfect house all the time.  My floor doesn't always get vacuumed everyday like I want it to my kitchen is not always clean, and my meals are not always perfect.  But my family is happy, there is food on the table for 3 meals a day, snacks in the cupboards, clean clothes and 4 happy children that get the love and support of their parents.
My children are also being able to learn that it is never too late to get your education, no matter how old you are, how many kids you have, how many adult responsibilites you have or how busy people may think you are.
I am glad that I am able to show my children what it is to work hard, apply yourslf, and continue on with the things that you want most out of life.
