In the Throes of It...

I would like to take a moment to apologize, in advance, to my faithful readers of Twinsanity...this week, I am in the throes of graduate school admissions, applications, and personal statement essays. Ugh.

After more than 3 years, I am now considering re-enrollment to resume my graduate program. However, since I have been absent from my program for more than 3 years, I must re-apply. Bummer. I also had completed more than 15 hours towards my Master's program prior to pregnancy, babies and new mommy roles, so I am really hoping and keeping my fingers crossed that even though it's been 3 years, that some if not all of my previously completed courses will be honored and carried over to my program.

After my sabbatical from my program to dedicate myself fully to my role as housewife and mommy to Paige and Taylor, I am giving serious consideration to returning to school. I am not sure if I can truly take this on yet or not...I am optimistic and hopeful that I can. Yet, I am also realistic enough to know that raising twins, one of whom is a special needs child who requires a great deal of energy, focus and participation in a number of weekly therapy sessions, may pose particular challenges that could ultimately prevent me from continuing the program. And, if that should prove to be the case, well then, at least I will know. For now, I'm just going to complete the application and re-admissions process and see what happens. No harm in that, right?. As far as actual enrollment and my ability to tackle grad school and the long hours of reading and studying again, only time will tell if that is something that I can truly do at this time in my life or not.

I should be through the bulk of the applications and admissions paperwork later this week, at which time, I'll be able to resume my regular updates and faithful postings on all things twins and the insanity that comes with my life with them.
