On another note I kinda hate talking about school :( I wish I could go back and get a degree now. Always makes me think of missing out on college :barnie
:hugs

that door isn't closed to you, particularly with internet-accessible schools. :idunno
Psh...tell my finances that :lol: That's the only problem right now. IF DH can go back to work and IF we can get this house paid for, and IF DD ever gets out :lol: and IF IF IF....

I can't wait to go back! But, I am looking at about 5 more years minimum before i can REALLY think about doing it. I'm so impatient :/

Here is a loving :smack. :lol: Psh right back at cha!

I used to work for a private institute of higher learning. There used to be a ton of resources and grants out there to basically pay people to go to school (it has been a while though, so my info is dated). I'm sure it's still out there.

Someone as internet-savvy as you should have no trouble doing a little grant research. ;) I imagine in just a few months you could find something perfect for you. :)

I wish brother. I have looked for some. I just can't ever tell the real deal from the stinkin scams :barnie If you can remember any, let me know. I hesitate just searching, they want so much personal info and well if it's a scam....identity theft, etc. Not that they would get far by stealing MY identity :lol: but ya know what I mean :lol: :p

Anna I am going to seriously start looking into grants. :) What did you go for?


A farmers day starts before dawn...I have been up since 3 am, got bible study and prayer time done, and now I am about to go out in the dark and milk a goat...that is AFTER I catch her. This should be fun :D

Work has taken an interesting twist today as well. I am selling the boss some chickens to add to her flock, and today we are moving her flock and coop to the new place. I hope everything goes well. I dislike messing with other folks chickens....dunno why :hu I like my own chickens, but other peoples chickens are like other peoples dogs to me. Is that weird? Either way I gotta run down a bunch of chickens and cage them for transport first thing this morning and it doesn't sound like much fun to me :lol: Maybe I'll be home by noon to work on the new goat shed here though since we are getting such an early start. :D

Hope everyone has a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I went back in my 30s, and got my degree in biology. In a way, I'm glad I didn't go right out of school. I think I learned more than I would have, and appreciated the opportunity more.

Yeah I think I will learn more now too. I am glad I got custody of my sister and didn't get to go in a way, but I have to wonder where would I be right now if things had not worked out the way they did :hu But then, I would have mised out on so much of what I have and know now too. :hu I just wonder sometimes, but I guess it all happens as it supposed to anyway. :)

I AM SO SLEEPY! The chicken wrangling wasn't all that bad. I got home by 12:30 and DH is gone to get nails so we can work on the goat shed. Speaking of goat, that nag tore down my chicken run last night :/ Time for tape! :somad I may tape her to a tree so she can't cause any more trouble :lol: I gotta fix that too now. Oh well, just a bit more time and I will have a better solution. I'm getting anxious to get it done!!!
