Here's the scoop

So, I'm at a bit of a crossroads. Well, crossroads makes it sound less awful. More appropriately, I'm at a bit of a nervous breakdown. I hate school so much this semester. I don't know why it has been so hard for me. Yes I am a single mom, but it isn't as hard as it might be. My child is really a very good, happy girl. I have my parents here, and they are so helpful. My mom plays Polly Pockets, Groovy Girls, and Littlest Petshop with Kacey all the time. Despite all these good things I have felt myself sinking over the past few months. I have had no time at all for any of the things that make life enjoyable. All I do is stress out about school.
A few weeks ago I went to the doctor because I have been getting migraine headaches, and he wanted me to have a MRI. I really only went to the Dr. because my mom wanted me too. I'm still convinced that they are stress related. My mom is the secretary for my Dr., so about a week after the MRI I asked her if they got the report back. She gave it to me and said that she had made up her mind not to tell me about it unless I asked. I was pretty bummed out when I read that I have about 10 small tumors floating around in my brain. Before I became a mother I never worried about that stuff. If I had to have another surgery it was no big deal. Now I can't bear the thought. As all mothers know, it is just too hard to be sick or incapacitated in any way when you have children to take care of!
This new development was the last straw. I just decided that I need a break from the stress, and I am preparing to withdraw from school for the semester. Oddly, I feel peaceful about my decision. I will go back in the fall. Now I am going to focus on Kacey and getting happy again. I am going to read books that are not in Spanish and are not related to my pursuit of higher education in any way. I have big plans for my summer garden and I want to work on my crafty stuff. Hopefully by the time fall rolls around I will be myself again, and I will be able to focus on my education again. Kacey will be in kindergarten then, and I won't have to carry such a heavy courseload. Now let's get happy!
