Now my husband wants me to get my health and life insurance license because someone he works with has his own business and he wants me to start helping him. I have my Masters in Public Health...therefore the connection. I was not enthused about doing it but I finally agreed. So 2 weeks ago I signed up for online courses - I have 15 chapters to learn/memorize. I know 15 does not sound like a lot but they are very long chapters...especially when the material is so dry. Now to add to it I have 3 months to finish...can we say pressure? On top of that I do not have time to study during the day so my only time is at night but I do not want to spend my evening studying. I have other things I want to do, not to mention relax a little. Anyway I got through chapter 1 and am stuck in chapter 2 - its so long and boring. Do I really want to do this?

To study or not to study?
I have been out of the workforce for almost 3 years. I went on maternity leave in July 2007 and went back for 2 weeks when my son was 3 months (I was working from home and got a nanny thinking that is the perfect situation). I was so wrong! I realized I wanted to be with my little boy instead of working and having someone else take care of my son, so I quit. Here I am with my 2nd son and still not working.

A fresh start
I thought i was going to start blogging long ago but I got lazy/busy so now here I am with my first blog. I know once I get into it I will love doing it...I love this sort of stuff but I have to get motivated. Maybe I need to have my friends start following so then I have a reason to write. I always have so much to say (my hubby can't keep me quiet) so I might as well write about it.
First of all let me say this...some people seem to think that being a stay at home mom I have all the time in the world. In reality I don't...my 2 boys (2 1/2 and 9 1/2 months) keep me very busy. They are both active and always want to be doing things...well...my older one likes to be on the go. Every morning he wakes up and says "Where are we going today?" Almost on a daily basis we go somewhere so he expects it now. I know its my fault...I get major cabin fever so I started it. My little guy is going to be the same way - I can see it all ready.
Ok back to not having all the time in the world. When I meet up with friends for playdates...its not like we are hanging out - we are so busy watching or kids that we get little time to talk. When we are not with friends then we are going to classes or doing something fun...so really how much time do I have to myself during the day. My kids don't even have their naps coordinated. Now that I am starting this blog I know that people are going to comment and say that I have time to write since I am home. Again, its not being at home that gives me the time...its making it a priority. I don't work out (I run after my kids)...instead I do my creative stuff.
