The Blizzard

For anyone that doesn’t know, Colorado was hit with a major blizzard of late. For me that meant 3 days of no help with the kids, and cabin fever. The snow was too cold to take the little ones out for too long. I found myself neck deep in assignments that piled up while I was too busy watching the kids to work. Of course, the Christmas holiday through me back even further. One thing I WAS grateful for was the ability to take classes ONLINE through Andrew Jackson University. Thank goodness for that. If I had to snowshoe through the snow to get to CSU, I don’t know what I would do. I am now working on my final project for my first class, Business Growth Strategies. What I learned is there are a lot of different ways to look at a business and your customer. What works for one may not for another. Keep that in mind when you are doing your own thing or setting your own goals. We are all in this together, but we can all do it differently and still have a good time.

Any time is the right time to go to school

I just threw an informal Christmas party yesterday with some close friends. One friend of mine postponed her studies while in College to have her son. She now has a 10 year old and a 6 year old. She decided to finish her Bachelor's degree and pursue her desire to become a nurse.

It's never too late to go back to school. Online university's like http://aju.edu make it easy for working parents to go to school, work and juggle a family.

We all go through stressful periods in our lives. It is important we give our children the love and attention they deserve, but it is also important we follow our dreams. This is true whether your dreams involve getting an Associate's, Bachelor Degree, Master's or even a Certificate proving your competency.

How do you fit it all in? It's tough. This past week all three kids were sick with runny noses and coughs. At times they were up most of the night again. But eventually, we all caught up on our sleep and made it through.

Don't give up your dreams when you have children. Having children may be part of your dreams. Just figure out ways to carve out time for your personal as well as your family pursuits. That way, you will lead a rich and rewarding life.
