Welp….I’m officially crazy. I just hit SUBMIT on my application to attend the University of Washington and I can’t believe I actually did it.

I have been waiting for years to finish my degree….years. TWO marriages and FIVE kids later it looks like I just may get the chance. If they accept me, that is. So, I’m a little bit nervous but VERY pleased that I went through with it all. I mean when was the last time you had to write an actual application personal essay? Highschool for me (which was ages ago).

You may wonder…why do you want to back to school?? Don’t you own your own business and you wrote a book already and blah, blah, blah. Because I WANT TO. I only got so far and then I had to stop so that I could be a wife and mother to the best of my ability. My youngest is almost 13 and the timing just feels right ya know? And plus, I won’t apologize for my being one of those people who actually LOVED school. I enjoy learning and it has only helped me become a smarter and better person when I learn new things.

So cross your fingers or say a little prayer for me- because I really want to do this.
