The Death of Me

Since I quit my job two years ago to stay with my girls and finish my degree I have done 99.9% of all of my school work online. I may have gone to the campus to take a test or something, but other then that I have not set foot on a college campus. Today I learned why. 10 years ago I was fresh out of high school and new to the "college" scene...which was basically an extension of high school. Today 10 years later I am a very old (at least I feel that way)and at best cranky married mother of two and I pretty much have no business being on a college campus (which is still an extension of high school) with all of these teenagers...there were baggy pants and short dresses....there were people shaking hands (and by shaking hands I mean those "secret" hand shakes that people make up and you have to be under 20 to know how to do it)....there were people making out in between classes (seriously). And besides being too old for the place...I barely made it there in time this morning...I woke up at 5 and got the girls ready....dropped them off by 7:30 and didn't get to my 8:30 class until 8:40 (granted I had no clue in the world where the class was so I did stop and ask for directions once I got to the school)...I also have a two hour and twenty minute break between my classes and since today was the first day it was actually about a four hour break....that just meant I had more time to observe secret handshakes and makeout sessions. I got out of class just in time to pick the girls up and head to a play date. I walked in my door this evening at 6:15 and I only thought I was tired before :-) I get to do it all again on Wednesday. This whole actually going to the school thing very well be the death of me....is it too late to want my job back?? :-)
