My Master's Is A Pain, But I Am Thankful

As many of you may know, I decided that I wanted to make more money last year. The only way a teacher can do that is to earn advanced degrees. So, "why not go back to school" I said to myself. You only sponsor 2 clubs, have 2 middle school children, teach 3 preps, have soccer practice, Lego League, and church obligations... Needless to say I'm overstretched and honestly could care less about my paper over school law. I will have this blasted degree in May 2013 if I am lucky. There will be no breaks and no vacations... just one class after another. I am literally cooking a turkey and writing a paper over in loco parentis. This too shall pass and hopefully the federal government will hold up their end of the bargain and pay for it as promised.

I am having a really hard time enjoying each day of my life. I do not want to be a person who wishes her life away, but so much of life is not fun anymore. I long for simplicity. I am thankful for my family and friends and the many blessings I have and don't deserve. I am praying for a satisfied heart that is not always struggling. I pray that my Thanksgiving helps me to realize my blessings. I pray that for yours too.
