Changing my mind again!

Sorry it has been a while, been pretty busy around here, or at least it feels like it! I have been working at least 2 days a week, doesn't seem like much and maybe it isn't but it's enough for me right now. Josh has been getting back to normal and my little love bug has been becoming more defiant and I'm starting to wonder who replaced her? But with some new house rules and some steps for bullying at school, I think we will be alright. So on to the reason for this blog. I have always been very interested in psychology and love to learn anything about it. I have 24 credit hours in early childhood education with a GPA of 3.8 and I know it's time to jump in with both my feet and really get moving on the next step of education and that is really buckling down and pursuing either psychology and go towards research maybe, some sort of research with children or honestly there are so many things about psych that interest me I feel like I could just hop around all the time picking and choosing what to do next. Or... social work with children. If I decide to do social work I would have 81 more credit hours to go, but for psych it would be more than that. Social work classes are something that I would still like learning about and it would provide me with being able to work with children and their families and make a difference. I am trying to remember what are my strengths and what I am naturally good at and those things seem to be... Listening, I am usually the listener of problems and not so much the talker and I don't mind it. I can keep a secret, great with kids especially when they are upset or angry. I want to make an impact. A weakness I have though is that I can pump myself up and say " I can do it" and than I get scared, of what I don't know, but it just seems like so much work. I know that I can do it but geez! So it's time to jump in I think. Of course I'm gonna bounce this off the hubby and see what he thinks, he always helps me to think about it a little closer.

On a lighter note I have been really wanting to go take pictures at the Botanical gardens and so when it gets nice and I get a day to myself I think I'm gonna head up there and take some pictures. I have taken a few around here lately that I will put up. Malie has started soccer and her team has not won a game yet, but there not really games at her age. They just run around and kick the ball. She seems to like it and she looks really cute in her soccer stuff.

Alright so I was going to put up some pictures but it's taking forever and I am tired so we'll save them for the next post. Goodnight!
