Time is running out..

In my down time today, I've done a lot of thinking about how to execute this plan of mine. In short, the plan involves returning to school for an occupational therapy assistant certificate. There are two schools in Louisville who offer this accredited program. Brown Mackie College and Jefferson Community College would be the two. Having little to no knowledge of Brown Mackie and not having known anyone who has attended there, naturally I'd lean towards JCC. However, I just found tonight that I have only 3 months to get my ducks lined up and get ready to return to school in January. Or.. I could wait another year. If I'm going to go to school here, I want to take the fastest, most immediate route possible so I can leave this area as soon as I'm finished.
Can I really make all of this happen in a matter of three months? Then I have to face the reality that I might not get accepted into the program. I'd like to think that those odds are pretty slim due to my educational background, but it's still a prospect. If you know me at all, it's no mystery that I don't necessarily work the most efficiently for myself under pressure. I can coach anyone through such a time, but when it comes to applying this energy towards myself, I panic. I suppose that given the fact I managed to land a full time job and an apartment in a matter of about six weeks, this could be accomplished in 12. It's no less frightening.
I could really use the support of my friends at this pressing time.
I really need this change.
The only other deciding factor would be whether or not JCC offers their classes in the evening as I will have to continue to work. I tend to believe that Brown Mackie would be more likely. So, if you have anything good to say about Brown Mackie, please let me know! I'm in a crunch!
Thanks in advance for your support and advice!

There aren't words..

Had you told me a week ago what my life would look like today, I would have given you classic Jen-eye and asked but surely enough, Friday afternoon after a whirlwind 48 hours of what ifs, a bright, beautiful, smart, insightful, loving, hilarious little girl moved into our home!  We survived our first weekend quite swimmingly if I do say so myself!!  I really struggled with how it would feel to have a child around full time and if I really had that "parenting thing" in me.  Do I ever!  Both of us have adapted quite nicely to our roles and for as long as God will keep her here, we're looking forward starting our new family in our new house as if we're new creatures!  Hard to remember what our boring lives were like pre-kiddo! ;)

My heart is pounding, my palms are sweating, my mind is racing, and my cup is running over!  Yesterday I was just a wife!  Today I'm a Mommy!  Today my life changes forever and I'm already so in love with this girl I can't handle it!  Today is a good day!  Today is the day I add the title of "Mom" to my self-description! Our home was owned before us by a fellow Foster Mom.  She has been a great support to me over the past two weeks and shared this with me yesterday! My life will undoubtedly be changed, and undeniably for the better!   Is she here yet?????

My past does NOT define me!

Those of you who are new to the party of getting to know me might be surprised to know that I've had a bit of a shaky past. Tumultuous failed relationships, perpetual, chronic bouts with poor health, and some pretty early abandonment issues. The fact that almost everything in my life is sailing along more perfectly than the best dream right now is nothing short of a miracle! I've fallen hard for partners who viewed me as less than, and I've invested countless energy, finances, and time in dead-end friendships. It's still hard for me to look at my life and accept that it's real and truly happening to me! So let's get to the point, eh? Until about 5 years ago, due to health-related reasons, it seemed like more of a risk for me to drive a car than it was worth, so I didn't. I got by just fine without one. I started working from home, made a decent enough wage to get by, and even when I had "outside" jobs, for the most part, I made it work. F...
