I feel like poop today! I called for Stephanie to come in and close for me. She should be here by 5... even two and half hours off will help me. I can take a nap before dinner and then after dinner, go back to bed... that is all I feel like doing.
I had a busy morning though... after a half hour of getting sick, I got on the computer and started the getting back into school process. I wasn't an education major, so I signed up for the education prep classes at SJRCC to get me qualified for my certification and prepared for the tests. I got an email back from the director and she pretty much set me up and told me what I need to do.
First thing is getting my transcripts. I am going to go to UNF either tomorrow morning or Friday morning and submit that request. They will mail them to me. After that, I am taking one set to school board to complete their application and finger printing.. and the other set to SJRCC to get into the EPI program. The classes are all at Orange Park campus (rock on!) and I can start in August. I do have to have the application with the school board sent it before I am accepted to SJRCC. When the application is sent off, I can set up my interview and be good to go for August! My statement of eligibilty should be here by the time classes start if I get this done in the next week or so, pending the arrival of Conner.
I can have that program done by next summer for sure and have all my testing done so by next August, I can possibly start teaching!
It feels good to have a plan in motion. I will feel better when I am accepted and have my statement from the state in hand.
In a perfect world, Andrew would get paid what he is worth and I could be a stay at home mom, but our world won't allow that... I want to live comfortably and I don't want Andrew to work two jobs anymore. I want a retirement and summers off. I want a real career so I don't feel like college was a complete waste of time. I want yearly family vacations and to be able to support my son in whatever he wants to do. I want to feel like I am doing my part in supporting my family. And the only way to get what I want is for me, and only me, to make that happen!
I feel so "I'm woman hear me roar" right now...lol... and yet, I feel so puny from the morning sickness and weakness.... what a strange place to be in! I will feel better after my nap... and after Conner graces us with his birth!
