Hello from the land of the sleep deprived. Everyone told me that having a baby would change my life - but you don't really know what everyone means until you're there. So my life has changed... drastically. I'm in the process of reevaluating my whole life and my goals. Do I really want to pursue a PhD? Now it isn't just what is best for me and for Aaron, but the deciding factor is what is best for Ian? I am really tempted to call good enough, good enough and just get a master's degree. Then Aaron, Ian and I can settle down in a town and buy a house (another one) and Ian could go to school and ok, I could start making some money!! That sure would make life a little easier. I returned to school this week and Aaron returned to work so this is part of the reassessing process. I mean do I really want to keep doing this for five more years? And at some point Aaron and I want to have another baboo, and do I want to still be in school? This what I'm thinking about today while I wait for Aaron to pick me up.

keep thinking . . . and doing what you need to do to be able to get the kind of job you want . . . you'll know the right decision to make when the time comes to make it . . . even if you decide a master's is the way to go, there is nothing that says you can't go back and get the PhD later . . . don't worry too much about things you don't have to decide today . . . keep smiling, keep studying, and hug that baby for me!
