Adventures in Babysitting

Well, today is snow day #12. This is the most that they have missed since Kailey has been in school. And, I hear that it is suppost to snow ALOT today. So, we will probably have the rest of the week off. Some people don't, but I personally love the snow days. So what if it takes a little away from summer break...we get enough time then, and I think the kids need the snow days to re-charge and relax. Today I am watching my friends two kids. It just adds to the chaos. But, at least my girls have someone to play with, because I have a feeling they are going to be bored sitting at home the rest of the week.
Today is the day I have to decide what to do about school. First, I was going to get my masters in education so I could teach. Then, I was going to take a few undergraduate psychology classes to get a job with Family Preservation Services. I am so undecided that I think I am going to put it all off. I really want to be there for Molly during Kindergarten. I think she needs me, and I did it for Kailey, so I should do it for her as well. I really think this is the best decision. Who would have thought that at almost 30 years old, I would still be trying to decide what I want to be when I grow up. But now it is a much harder decision. When I was in college, I didn't have to think of anyone but myself. Degree in public relations? Sounds fun, so that is what I did. Now, I think about what would be the best for Todd, what would be the best for the girls, and then what would be the best for me. How come when we become mothers, we instantly put ourselves last in our lives? I proudly do it, and wouldn't do it any other way.
So, my final decision is not to start school right now and enjoy the last year I have with Molly before she starts Kindergarten. Now if I can only decide what to do for my wedding anniversary next week. Can you tell I don't like to make decisions??????
