Full Time ME

First of all...WHY am I awake at 2:30 AM writing a blog post? My almost 5 month old baby is sound asleep and my husband has a "light" snore tonight. I should be getting the best sleep right now...but instead I'm tossing and turning from the pain of removing an ingrown toenail myself. YUCK! OW! Ibuprofen.

I am also wide eyed because my mind is racing. This Fall I will be a returning student to USU. Full time Wife, full time Mom, Full time Student. I am...excited...nervous...stressed...doubting myself. Pretty normal feelings that young women experience when they're trying to do it all. 

I have felt so behind on being successful as I see my high school classmates graduating from college, earning their degrees or landing that UHHHH-MAZING career/job. I should have left to school right after graduating high school. I should have never taken a year off. I should be graduated by now. 

Then I realize...If I would have left to school, If I wouldn't have taken that year off...I probably would have never, EVER crossed paths with my husband. I would have never had my amazing baby girl. 

It's never too late for school. It's never too late for a family. This is when I realize that I need to let go of the "should have" and just take it one day at a time...and also go back to sleep.

Full time Mom, Full time Wife & Full time Student. I've got this!
