Tomorrow I take my exit exam for Morton College. It's a biggie---you have to pass it with an 850 or higher in order to graduate. I've done really well in the program, but it's still nerve-racking. I've already taken 2 Ibuprofens today for a stress-induced headache.
On the bright side, Sunday will be my LAST DAY of school...I'll be working on the organ transplant floor again at CMH, which is a great way to end my three-year journey for my R.N. (Still have to pass the NCLEX-RN exam, of course, but I'll be done with MC).
The closer I get to graduating, and starting to look for employment, the more and more I just want to stay home and raise my kids & help with the youth group. That's been my dream since I was in eighth grade: be a stay-at-home-mom and youth pastor's wife. Not really an option for us, if we ever want to move out of Pat's grandparents basement, though. We are so grateful that they have let us live here for free while I was in school, but the time is coming that we will need to move on.
Hopefully I can just work part-time so our kids can be raised by their parents.
I don't know if this desire to stay home with them is my own dream that I need to let go of, or if it is God's tug on my heart to find a way to make it work. God give me (& Pat) direction in this area.
