Although it sounds like you are in a "FUN" situation, it also looks as though you have a good game plan. I admire yours and your husbands reason to go back to school, so that your children will be motivated. I thought i had it tuff with only one kid.

A lot of same things ran through my mind before starting the semester. As I started school I was really overwelmed at the high expectations that was required of you. It's hard to balance your new scheduled life. There has been many nights I'm up at night thinking did I really do a good thing or did I make a huge mistake. I can really relate to you.
