My Commitments

I have enrolled in a online school while Michael is gone. We both agreed that this would be a good opportunity for me to go to school since in a way our lives have been put on hold. The school is called Allied Health Institute. I was so worried that with everything that has been going on that I wouldn't do very well and that being an online school made me nervous. but I have to say I have been proven wrong. So far I am making better grades than I did in high school and I'm loving it. It is so nice and hasn't been too demanding for my schedule. I have nap time to do my work and since I don't work outside my home I am able to have plenty of time to my school work. I am very proud of myself since I'm doing so well. I thought I would be stretching myself thin. I still may do that but right now things are going ok.

Anyway I thought I would make a list of all the things I typically have to do every month:

1.) Pay monthly bills
2.) Grocery shop with the kids
3.) Visit Family at least twice a month. (3 hour drive one way)
4.) Call Phone Tree family twice a month and sometimes in between
5.) Attend church either here or KY every Sunday
6.) Kids to Dr whenever
7.) Monthly FRG meetings
8.) Take Gabriel to school every day.
9.) Cook & Clean house
10.) My school work everyday
11.) Work on Christmas packages for Michael and buddies
12.) Mediator for family/problems (enough said)
13.) Keep in touch with Friends.
14.) Dad (enough said)
15.) Work out four to five days a week
16.) Find clinical site for school
17.) Work on preparations for Michael's visit home
18.) Work on family plans for Christmas
19.) Fill out forms for Sherrie for kids
20.) Figure out a way for Michael and I to go away for vacation when he gets home, home
21.) Find Dentist that excepts Tricare Concordia and sees children
22.) Worry about going to active duty
23.) Worry about telling family of plans for going active duty
24.) Worry about Michael and his Buddies
25.) Trying to never forget to pray and read bible

Well I think that is enough for now, I know I'm forgetting some things and I'll add them later when I think of them. But I didn't realize how much there was until I wrote it all down.
