[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 25416, member: 84"] Barbara What you said is very true. I didn't realize how caught up in the constant chaos I was til N started becoming stable and T began to mellow out. And I had tried to keep a sense of self seperate from motherhood. I think I was shocked when the drama suddenly stopped. I didn't know what to do once I'd finally stopped waiting for the disaster to hit again. Guess those teen years were way worse than I thought. [img]:faint:[/img] lamo I didn't have a clue who I was anymore. I didn't know what to do with myself. And weird as it may sound, for a short while I even felt sort of useless. Like when you suddenly get fired from a job. That's one of the reasons I decided to go back to school. I'd always told myself I'd go once my kids were grown. Scarey. But I jumped in with both feet before I had a chance to change my mind. husband and the kids were all shocked. lol And now that I'm finally there, I'm sucking it all up like a sponge. I can't get enough. And although I might complain some, I do enjoy it. Last week I drew blood for the first time! [img]:grin:[/img] And I did it right the first time. That was really awesome. I can draw your blood, check your blood sugar, hemoglobin, hematocrit, check you for mono, or for pregnancy, even blood type you. I can check your urine for all sorts of things, and even give you a strep test. [img]:rofl:[/img] The point is, I'm doing what I want and I'm having fun. Eighteen months ago I'd have never thought it possible. I know the chaos can hit again. I don't know if I'll get caught up in it again. I've changed alot recently. I'm doing alot more, they're grown it's time they learn how to handle it, thinking than just jumping in and doing it myself. [/QUOTE]
