You sound like me. Many of those sentences, word for word, could have easily come otu of my mouth at some point.
I think classes are a good option. I'll be starting in the fall again(yeah, I already have a degree, but I'd rather go to school than work some meaningless job, or one that's way more stressful than I can handle right now) and I'm really looking forward to it. I love being home with my son, but sometimes a girl just need a break from the same old routine every day...
For me it's also an identity thing... what the heck happened? A year and a half ago I was a completely different person and somehow I did this full 180 and don't know how I got here. There isn't any Mandi anymore, now I'm Mommy 24/7, and while I love the title, I loved my old one too and I'd like to be part of that person again, if only for a few hours a week.

Yes, I am certainly going to look into taking some classes. I got pregnant while using birth control, and did not expect to be a mother at this point in my life.
My one wish is that I had gotten a degree under my belt before I embarked into the world of motherhood. After high school, I did an Americorps Program for 2 years. And then, I just kept making excuses about why I couldn't be a full-time student.
I don't know; I did have bills to pay because I was supporting myself. But, I could have worked something out. I don't know.

Oh gosh, me too! I got pregnant my last year of school while on BC, and I just had to keep going otherwise I knew it would take a million times longer to finish... it all turned out well in the end but it was really hard, and I really wish I could have waited a little bit longer.
I did take online courses, though not many, I went to art school so a LOT of it was hands on. But I took my graphic design courses online. For the most part they were really fexible, and I liked that a lot. My husband took half of his courses online after Dmi' was born so that I could finish school and we wouldn't have to get a sitter. I'd recommend them.

Have you ever taken any online courses?
