Adult World

I know some time back I posted about "putting my big toe" in world beyond child raising. I'm still on that train of thought. BUT, not design, counseling is my new thought. You see, I have read soooo many books to try and help my oldest son steer a smooth course for life along with books on marriage that it only seemed natural to pursue this interest. Along with my gift for gab. Counseling seemed a good marriage of the two.
I AM super excited about this.
But wait, it's not that simple.
You see there is the GRE, references, essay writing and entrance fees. YIKES! What a road!
I am willing to travel it. I just have to push myself away from this computer again, get my ducks in a row and just get moving...
I'm hoping and working toward next Fall being my first semester.
Wish me luck!

Sounds of Summer

I'm on the second full day of my kids at camp. What have I accomplished? Some. Not much. Is my bedroom beautifully painted? The can hasn't even been stirred. I have found that I'm pi-tiling. My mother-in-law loved that word. You know doing a little of this, a little of that, not much big but something.
I feel my toes are kind of peeking over the edge of what is to be the "poor me" thinking about to start in my brain. Not sure why. I doubt I would be very productive if the kids were home. I think it's because the task seems big.
I just need to push myself away from this computer and just begin.

So, here I go....
