Good news
Had to share with my HM friends, I know I am more of a lurker than poster, FB has made me lazy (darn FB! I will quit you I swear one day!). I got into the nursing school of my dreams! SO excited. Just heard back today I got a need based scholarship. $7500!! Hope to hear back from some others and just waiting for the Fin Aid package too. We'll see. Either way, I am making it happen. I have so much riding on this, if any of you have read me in the past, you know I've been trying to make my way as a single mama and this is my ticket to a bit more ease down the line in a job that will offer flexibility and good solid cash flow and hello, in the line of work of service to my fellow humans. It will be great. Hard work, but great. Program is 16 months start to finish b/c I have a prior degree. It will be intense but I am so darn excited. Giddy like a school girl actually.
DD is awesome, I just love this age. Good thing is, once I become a nurse, she will not even know it's all happened. It breaks my heart to be away from her right now with work and school but she won't remember it, and the time I do spend with her- three days off a week- is quality. So it's more heartbreak for me than her I think. She is so much fun, a handful, but fun as can be. Turning into such a little person at 2.5. I just hold onto these days.
Sending love and support to any and all mamas reading. xxxo me

Oh that is wonderful news! Congratulations, I'm really excited for you!
That is amazing! You are so right your daughter is not feeling any of that absence and now you are going to have a great profession that is going to not only provide for her materially right through to the fulfillment of her own ambitions but is also going to take her Mum on an amazing spiritual journey of discovery that is going to enrich her life in so many ways and provide such a great example of service and fortitide! Its all great and you totally deserve it!

I'm so happy for you. I have a bunch of friends who have gone the nursing route/gone back to school for nursing and they are all happy with their choice. I'm so glad this dream is becoming a reality for you!
Isn't it weird how our little ones will likely have few memories of this time? When it's so special to us as mamas. It kinda freaks me out to think about it.

I'm so proud of you, yogi! What excellent news! Your daughter will appreciate all of your hard work when she is older. 2.5 is great. I can't believe how awesome little people are. SO good to hear from you. I love updates!
I know that in my state it's really hard to get into nursing school, there are crazy waitlists....... you'll be great!
That is excellent news, how exciting! One day you will be a nurse, wow!! I'm in a post-bacc program now myself (to be a teacher) so I know how thrilling this is for you! Being back in school is hard but you can and will succeed at it. Congratulations! 
Wow! I was so happy to come across your post as I was browsing along tonight! I remember your talking about this a year ago! How incredibly lucky the world will be to have your compassion, depth, insight and smarts in the medical world. A HUGE gift you will bring, such a needed one. This is so exciting! I admire your maturity no end. Your girl sounds so good, your patience and passion for mothering come through in all your posts. Lucky girl.
I'm doing fine after a very hard transitional second half of 09. Lonely and wishing for someone special after things did not work out w/ the man I shared about. Right to move on recently, but sad. He was a very healing person, and I'm grateful. Just did not feel it was the right long term partnership. Which I DO want a lot now, after years post divorce of not caring much, things were so intense w/ my son, work, and I needed to recover from the blow up.
My son is in K and thriving and wonderful.
Love to you

Eat the $7500 tasty treat for sure! I know you understand the greatness of this, you always make me smile in your posts and love that you send my way. Keep on keepin on mama dear, I'll keep my fingers crossed you get as much moola as possible and yes, apply for as many as humanly possible (I know how annoying it is to order those copies of transcripts- $7.50 a pop). So happy to read about you and your mom reconnecting and enjoying each other too. xxoo
