Be the change

I am thinking of going back to school. Is that crazy for a mom of 4 to be considering? I wish I had gotten a different degree when I was in school...but I was so young, ya know...had no clue what I really wanted to be... Now, what I want more than anything is for my husband to be home more. I want weekends with our whole family. I am thinking about being a PA. If you work at a hospital, it is very flexible and pays well. I do not want to work full time ever while our children are little. 2 or 3 days a week, I could do, especially if it means we get more time together as a whole family.
My husband works a ton and has so much stress. A promotion could change this or not.... If I get a job, it will at least allow us a choice, ya know?

It terrifies me to even think of working with all of our littles. I do not want to miss anything, but I will sacrifice for the greater good of our family. I want less stress for my husband and will do what I can to help that. The good thing too is that healthcare is always in demand, so hopefully recession proof...plus if we are moved for T's job, it is something I could do anywhere.

Anyway, it is still in the thinking stage. I have to make some calls and look at costs and logistics before we move past this stage...probably looking at January before I could start. Hopefully I could take many of my classes online, so that I would not have to worry about childcare.
