I don’t know what I was thinking when I wrote the first entry for this goal, it reads a little crazed to me now.

At the moment I’m just plugging on with doing one unit at a time via distance, part-time. I’ve figured that I’ll finish up just as all of our (3) children reach school-age, and so I’ll be able to pick up some part-time work while they’re at school.

My other reasons for doing the degree are that 1) it’s the easiest option for me at the moment without having to find and pay for fulltime care for our small children, and 2) I need to get some qualifications if (touch wood) anything bad happens to my husband as current sole provider eg – losing his job or becoming ill or injured, or – the worst – passing away. I hope HOPE nothing bad EVER happens, but of course I need to be realistic and have contingency plans in place so that we both can continue to raise our little family well.
