Thoughs of School

I have been highly considering going back to school. I have held a job down since I was fourteen, and while I do enjoy being at home more with my family, I am starting to go stir crazy. I tend to combat this type of feeling by reading, a lot. I have been reading Psychology books and I find it all fascinating. I want more.

I have always had a nack for this, and the more I learn the more I want to know. It seems that everyone in my family is on board for this, except for a few fears from my daughter. She is worried that things will go back to the way they were when I was working. She loves having all the extra time, and she has loved me not being so stressed out. I think that in the end, as long as I make sure there is enough time in the day for her, that she will come around a bit more. I can take morning classes, and should be able to be home before she gets off the school bus. I can do homework between her doing homework and her spending time with my husband, then I can do the bulk of my studies while she is sleeping.

I think this will not only help my stir crazy, but in the end it could really help my writing, and help me better deal with life in general. I love the idea and the more I think about it the more I want it.

Do you think that going back to school is to much of a burden on a family, or is there hope it can work without taking time away from your child or children?
