The CrAzY Life!

So things are just nutty in our household! Both Mike and i have been trying our hardest to juggle full-time school and full-time jobs along with everything else that comes our way. I know that doing both is possible because we have done it ever since we got married but now it's becoming way too much. The education program is only offered during the day which makes things a lot harder to do since my job only works during the hours of 6:30-4. I had to go down to part time in order to go to school (along with nannying part time).....THEN the first week of classes our professors told us that we have to do 12 sessions of field experience before the semester is over...ugh...so i am like WHEN am i going to be able to do this??? School goes from 7ish to about 3 in the afternoon....that is when i am at work and then in school. These programs are really set up for those who DON'T WORK!!! I have been so stressed out and ready to quit but I knew that something had to change. THEN Janice (the lady i nanny for) told me that her schedule is becoming too hectic and that she needs to have someone who is available more during the days.....she didn't want to loose me because the kids love me so she said she was up for any ideas.

So anyway last weekend was especially hard for the both of us because we had to make the decision of either moving somewhere else and start paying rent, quit my job at Shriners, quit school, or start paying rent to them ($950 a month which is how much our apartment would be). We did not want to move because when we move again it will be into a house. So we prayerfully came up with a decision, i was going to quit my job at Shriners. I don't technically need to work anyway because Mike makes enough money to be able to support us both AND we don't have to pay rent, I will technically be doing that by babysitting 16 hours a week. So anyway after that happened I was a little sad because i really do love my job but also a little relieved because now I will be home more and able to finish my homework, do my field study, and get rid of a LOT of stress. March will be a little hard because Mike has to do a ton of clinical and ride along hours for school so he won't be able to work but i guess that is where our savings will come in, but then when he is done he will be making twice as much as he is now and he already has a job lined up for him through the company where he works now. Then for our spring break we are going to have a very relaxing week down in California at DISNEYLAND!! It will be a BLAST and a much needed vacation! I am teaching private swimming lessons right now to pay for it! I am so excited! (Oh and other good news is that since i won't be working the rest of this year....well i will be working to pay rent....but anyway next year we won't have to pay for school!! We will be able to get grants! YIPEE!)
