I am very, very tired right now of the pace that school requires of me and I've promised my boys that I would wait until they are finished with school to go back for another degree (4 years). I'm definitely not done with formally educating myself though. I will likely get a Masters, but I'm not sure what I will study yet. I'll have to see if this degree bumps my career up or not.
It will be one of the best memories of my life. They both gave me a big hug just after commencement and started naming the year that they would graduate from college. Are you going to be at our graduations, mom? I wouldn't miss them for the world, sons!
Well, actually, funny you should ask. I took the day of graduation off from work through January 1st. I am having withdrawals from homework or other things to occupy my hands and mind. Pray for me. I've caught up on all my sleep, my children are occupied and I'm at loose ends. I think I'm going to have to step up my running and workouts to tire myself out enough to sleep. Ack!
Congratulations!
