A little secret...

OK I haven't said anything here yet but I've gone back to school. Real Estate school that is. I never knew just how tough it would be. I began some months ago researching the field to see if it would be a career that would truly afford me some flexibility. I've been looking for something for years but have not found anything that would allow me the flexibility that I need in working with nursing care for Nickie. As I've said before the nurses aren't always dependable and for obvious reasons if a nurse doesn't come in then I can't be at the office. This explains why working from home has worked the best for me.... but I'm sick of being home with no adult interaction and we have long since needed the benefits of a second income. Working at home for Bob's painting company doesn't bring in extra money. Though it does keep him from paying someone else to do the work. I will have to continue to do some of the things for him that I've always done like, ick, the bookkeeping which as we speak I'm dreadfully behind in. I have my second quiz tonight and it covers chapters 1-6 and 11. I've taken and retaken the practice quizzes and tests and I think I have to step back and relax.

It's kind of funny to me that I consider this an option for me. I never considered myself a salesperson yet I'm such a people person, chatter if you will that I believe it may actually suit me well. I'm enjoying the classes so far, I've had only 3 so far and I'm sure to change my mind as it gets even more difficult. I would ask that my friends say a special prayer for me to get through this and the subsequent licensing exams.

I have to admit I've enjoyed the dressing up for class. I have had the most laid back attire all these years working from home and it sure does make me feel special to dress professionally again. I'm not used to the heels and I'm thankful that while I'm wearing them we are seated most of the time. It had to be a man that designed heels. Stupid man! I know they make ya look good but they make me hurt! I know enough complaining already.
