I have made some important decisions in the last few weeks! As I am going to be laid off from work for 8 weeks, I found myself trying to figure out some way to make my time at home as productive as possible. I have just completed my enrollment into University of Phoenix Online's "Bachelor of Science in Communication with a Concentration in Culture & Communication" degree! Hopefully this will take me somewhere interesting! Mr. Man is 100% supportive and almost as excited as I am!
This will also give me some access to student loan money, which will allow us to move forward with me getting my Tubal Ligation Reversal...The loan money will help with the bills and allow us to save for the surgery. I am strongly contemplating using a doctor in Mexico who I have heard wonderful things about to have the surgery done, as it is about 1/3 of the price of having it done here in the US. Not entirely decided on this one, though.
Not much else has changed, though #2 Son has now been formally diagnosed with ADHD and ODD, and has been put on a small dose of Ritalin to see if that helps him at all... So far, he reports that it is TONS easier to concentrate in school, but his home behaviors are not improving. The boys are both very defiant and refuse any of the parenting styles I have tried with them... Nothing to do but keep trying!
