Now that I've graduated (and am on hiatus between school and grad school) I feel an enormous weight off my shoulders. I work part-time now. I'm able to take my son to school AND pick him up in the afternoons. I sit at the kitchen table with him while he does his homework. My family eats dinner together. These are the things that are important to me now. I want to go to graduate school, but I want to spend time with my family and enjoy my life before it's over, you know? Do we have as much money as when I was working like a fiend? Hell no, but it's all about making sacrifices, in my opinion. As long as the bills are paid and everyone is fed- these are my priorities now.
