No, that isn't my way of announcing I'm getting my doctorate degree. You know, there was a time in my life when that seemed impossible. I honestly couldn't even wrap my head doing something like that. Then there was a time when I decided that would be my reality. I was absolutely convinced that was the direction I wanted to go.
Now...well, I just don't know. Goals change, priorities change. Is it something I want to do? Yes, it is. I'm just not sure how much I'm willing to sacrifice to get it. It's less time for the girls, who are already cheated in so many ways. It's more for me to manage, when I am already stretched in so many ways.
It just doesn't seem like I can fit that into my life right now. Or maybe ever. And that's okay too.
That doesn't mean, however, that I don't enjoy playing Dr. Mom, which is why I'm so excited - I bought a Otoscope tonight! That's the little ear thing doctors use, in case you didn't know. I realize my enthusiasm about that says a lot about the level of excitement in my life...but I really am excited. I've already looked in everyone's ears. Multiple times. And if I could figure out a way to do it, I would look in my own.
See, it really doesn't take much for me to get excited.
Now, how can I get my hands on a stethoscope?
