Happy homemaker and online student

As I'm sure everyone has heard by now (or at least I hope so), Chris and I are expecting a baby in May. This compounded with a few other reasons, I decided to change my major to Management (standby for reasoning and new game plan), and take a majority of my classes online through Wayland Baptist University.

Ok so for all of you with a puzzled "whaaa???" look on your face as to how an Aerospace Engineering major switches to Management...

No the work itself is not too difficult, however, finding the time to complete all of said work with two kids, OB appointments, and physical therapy was driving me bonkers and I was completely unhappy. By switching to Management I will be able to graduate after the Summer 2010 term with my bachelors, and will be doing my masters degree in Accounting immediately after. So management is not the end goal here, but rather a stepping stone. By taking this route, no I won't be an engineer, or have the prestigious title of rocket scientist, but I will be able to finish my bachelors as well as graduate school in the same amount of time that I would take me to finish said engineering degree. This means my GI Bill will go much further, and pay for both degrees. :)

Since all of my classes except for a once a month Saturday class are online now, I was able to take the boys out of daycare which is saving us a LOT of money every month. (For those of you without children, daycare costs for two kids is equivalent to a monthly mortgage payment.) So far it is working out wonderfully. I get to spend the day with Ethan, and really enjoy seeing all of the small changes in him everyday. I am here to pick up Conor from the bus stop everyday, and there is plenty of time to work on homework and reading with him, and even enough time for him to play with neighborhood friends for a little bit before dinner.
