Yes, I do! I am taking the month of December off to spend time with

, get some things done around here and do some extra stuff

(decorating and baking) for Christmas. In January, I will begin

classes full time at the University of NC at Asheville and will

complete my bachelor's degree in middle school education (science

and math). I currrently hold an AAS in Chemical Engineering

technology so I should be able to complete my degree within 2

years. College at 40! Scary, but exciting! Just time for another

chapter in 's Life! Thanks for asking!

Congrats on the loss! (4 sticks of butter!) (OK, I haven't done

that in a while, teehee!) Remember, when you apply for a job, " C's "

are the same as " A's " ! Do the best you can in your classes but

remember it is the degree you are after. Hang in there! We're here

for you!

That is terrific and exciting. I am taking a photojournalism course at

the local college and I love it! The kids are great! And they don't

treat me any different that anyone else! It so nice that you can take

the month off and get things in order and have a great Christmas!

You can do it!! my hubby just got his BA in Quality. He went back at 42,

worked full time (12 hrs a day plus 2 hrs daily driving time!) and took

accellerated classes. He got his Associates in 6 months and 12 months later

graduated Summa Cum Laude(3.9 gpa) with his Bachelors. It is very hard to get

started but be patient with yourself! He really misses the school work and is

seriously thinking about going back for his masters.

Sorry you are not feeling well - but either way- Welcome back! It

is great to see you posting ! I have been offline more than I usually

am too- just busy. Good luck with staying OP- I think all of us need

a little luck right now- seems there are quite a few of us

struggling ...have a good one- get some rest! BTW... BRAVO on getting

back to WW meetings! I know they do help give me a little extra

boost! I miss going every week, but I still go at least once a month-

or every two weeks now, since holiday time is upon us:)
