OK, so we're NOT moving to Idaho...yet. We still want to and we will try to later on in the future, but for now, the job is not coming through and we told my parents to let the house go. No sense in dragging them financially through the mud! Right? So we are looking to move into a rental in the next couple of weeks (so long as we can get into one!) and our house is currently, officially, in foreclosure! ( you're still waiting for the exciting part aren't you?)
Quincy may be up for a promotion which IF he gets it, we will be receiving a pay raise, which with 8 kids would be WONDERFUL!!! But that's not the exciting part. He and I, yes, I said me...we are going back to college to finish what we started! OK, you are all scratching your head, chins dropped, asking yourself, "what the heck? How?" Allow me to answer you.
2 of my classes are online, and the other 3 are during the hours when I have a respite worker available, and they are only 1 hour 30 minute classes! (Thank you Jesus, because I don't think I could do 3 hour classes right off the bat!) His classes will be half online and half at school too. We are trying to go at the same time so we only have to have one parking pass, but that probably won't happen like I plan. So, you wanna know what I'm going for?
Well, I am going to take child development classes, special education courses, and music (piano and voice) classes. I have a desire to help other families like ours get the help they need, and I also want to MAKE SURE that my kids get the help they need from me. If they can't get it anywhere else, at least they'll get it from me! Plus, later in 5 years when my house is empty of little ones, I can get a job (a paying one) on campus as a special ed aid/tutor and be close to my kids where I can keep an eye on them and the system that's teaching them, while getting a small income to help us out. (We'll need it..we'll have 8 teenagers at one point! 4 proms, 3 graduations, 5 driver's licenses, etc.,etc.,etc. all happening at the same time same year). I'd like to have a little money for when they move out to take care of our needs too. I mean we'll have college expenses and our retirement to care for.
So, anyway, I am excited at what my future holds, and the help I will be able to give others through this! Just wanted to share my happiness with the great cyber abyss!

Congrats Jeanne that is terrific news! It will all be totally worth it when you finish.
Thank you! I am excited and a little nervous about it, but more excited than anything. My kids mean everything to me, and I know that by doing this I can better be there for them later on. That's all I want right now.
