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!

Abracadabra!

To say the past 36 hours have been a whirlwind would be the understatement of the year!  Our licensing worker visited us on Friday for our final walk through, sent our paperwork off yesterday in the morning to the powers that be and POOF two hours later she got word that we're licensed!  It doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that there is probably a great enough need related to our licensing specifications for age and quantity that it probably won't take long for us to fill up! We were already planning to attend a social last night for Foster Parents and really didn't want to back out of that, as 1.) we could use the support and 2.) I had spent the whole day toiling away on some AMAZING cupcakes that I wasn't about to let go to waist. (see what I did there?) We zipped off to Effingham for the gathering, sat around with many other new foster parents and were VERY grateful for the opportunity to network with others, all the while thinking about everything w...

Today's another very important day for us!  We're expecting a visit from our licensing worker for our final walk through!  It seems there's a pressing need for homes willing to accept kiddos between the ages of 12 and 14 so it wouldn't surprise me if we're opening our doors before Spring even arrives! We're settling in nicely, all of our rooms are set up and "livable", just have to attack the last of the cardboard kingdom! It's so nice to have storage space and not have boxes stored away in every nook and cranny of every room in the house!  The garage and basement are invaluable! While I have a LOT to say about what's going on in the world, I can't possibly formulate thoughts that would take less than 10,000 words to "pen", so I'm just going to keep them to myself and try to pray my frustration away! I know there aren't many of you keeping up with this.. it's amazing how people forget about you all together when yo...

Letting Go...

Dear Diary, It seems it's finally time to leave Louisville and all the pain it's caused for me behind. I know that people probably think I'm just running from my problems, but I'm really trying to start my life over, on my terms, on my feet, and working on NEVER depending on another to take care of me again. People just can't be trusted. I'm sick and that will never change, but I'm just going to have to make a way for myself and pray that this stupid disease doesn't get the best of me. So, at this point next week, unless something miraculous happens, I'll be saying goodbye to Louisville and all it's trappings. I need to center, I need to focus on my relationship, or lack thereof, with my Savior, and I need purpose.
