Associates Degree

Today I turned in my final paper for my associates degree in accounting. The stress has now eased unbelievably. It felt like this day was never going to come. It took me 21 months to get my associates degree while working full time and homeschooling Robert and now I don't have school, am no longer homeschooling and am barely working. Went from one extreme to the other. Not sure what is going to happen career wise in the near future but God has put some things in place and I am not exactly happy about it but I am going to trust God that it will all work out for good.

Life changes so fast at times that if you blink you could really miss it. It has now been a week since Robert has graduated and that is a HUGE change for me. He is now growing up to be a man and that is heartbreaking for me. I have loved being a mom all these years and stepping back to let him make decisions is so hard but I am doing the best I can at this point and trying to give him words of wisdom instead of making his decisions for him. While he lives at home in our house there are rules that he must follow no matter what.

Keep smiling!!!!!!

Congratulations to you! Finishing school yourself is a big accomplishment - and doing it while working and homeschooling a teenage boy is even more of an accomplishment!

Hooray for Donna!!
