I am so eager to learn when the windows are wide open. I felt like as a 20something or other that I would memorize but when it came to understanding, comprehending, and applying, well............... not so much.

All of your thoughts are very encouraging.

I have had cold feet a bit the last couple of days...thoughts like "how will the kids do if I am gone" (like they can't live w/o me) and "will I ever have clean undies again if hubby says he will take over the laundry?" It should be an interesting couple of years. I have decided to use some of my student loan $$ to pay someone to do the deep cleaning - tubs, mopping, etc. I don't want to feel like I am so busy that I can't enjoy my family when I am home. Seems like money well spent.

I think I will head to the store this afternoon and stock up on undies
