My Fears are Creeping Up on Me

Well, let's just say I can't believe it happened already!  And it's only the second week of school!  When I woke my youngest son this morning to go to school, he had 103" temperature.  And I had MANDATORY lab today as well as a MANDATORY library orientation.  And my husband is OUT OF TOWN!  Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!  The universe is testing me!

My biggest fear when I even started to think of going back to school was, "What am I going to do if one of my kids get sick?"  Who would stay home to take care of them?  I am their mother, I need to be there for them.  Maybe I should put this whole nursing school thing on hold a few years.  Isn't that what we are supposed to do once we have kids?  Put OUR lives on hold for the sake of our offspring?

Well, I think we know the answer and path I chose.  And in today's life lesson, I learned to open up and lean on those who have offered to help and actually ask for the help.  Which, honestly, is very hard for me to do.  Mothers are very strong people, that think they should be able to do it all without any help.  I picked up the phone and began sobbing.  I called my girlfriend at 6:30am and through my deep breaths I asked her for help.  She said "yes".  She is my angel, thank you.  I am forever grateful for the friendships I am offered in life.

Namaste~
