Making plans, I hope

Tomorrow has the potential to be a big day. I have been working slowly to get my life in order. At least I want to go from thinking about making plans to doing them. So tomorrow I'm going to the university to figure out information about graduate school and/or a second bachelors degree. I think I'm certainly going to work on my teaching credential but will add a special education component to it. Teachers are a dime a dozen these days; I need to do something to separate myself from the field. It is a big step, to be sure, but I can't just run in place. I moved here, got a freelance gig for some money, but it's not enough. I need to put myself in a financial position to take my children when the time comes. It's clear that Cherie has no clue what she wants to do with her life, and I can't be like that. I can't. I have to have a plan and stick to it and be successful. I will be visiting the kids as soon as I get a tax return. I will spend a week, maybe longer with them, to gauge how they live. I get the sense that it's not the best situation. I want to show them that there is a better life for them. A life with me, where they are safe and secure. To do that, I must make an effort and a sacrifice that I haven't really done. Things have come relatively easy for me, and I haven't had to work for them. I think Heavenly Father wants me to challenge myself. If I do, I am certain He will bless me, in whatever way He sees fit. Stay tuned. It's about to get interesting.
