Back to School
Ok, so since we are no longer eating, sleeping and breathing potty training, it’s time to focus on other wonderful changes in our household. In March, my husband lost his job. The company was in receivership, so there is no chance he will get called back. Fast forward a few months, no luck finding work, and what there is out there pays peanuts. My husband decides it’s time to re-educate. I agree, we both honestly need to do this, but only one of us at a time can do this, and since I am working full time and carry our benefits, hubby is the most logical choice.
He decided on Electrical Engineering Technoligst, which at the local college is a three year course. He’s applied for OSAP and he’s accepted to the college. I think he is nervous, or anxious to go. I have anxieties about this, all of which stem from my own issues. I worry about sending him to a college full of girls who are younger, SLIMMER, and more energetic than me. They don’t have 2 kids, a husband and a cat to take care of. Do I really have a reason, maybe, maybe not. What woman is not nervous about sending her man to a place full of young girls. My friend told me not to worry, the girls all want the young hottie, who’s only goal is the find some girl to spend the night with! Terrible, I know, but I hope she’s right.
So, back to school shopping is now for the kids AND hubby. So what does a 35 yr old college student need anyway?

Married men with kids don’t go back to school looking for love. They go there FOR their family…I was once a married man in college! Fear not.

Good to know, crazy to feel insecure, but I feel it just the same. I’m sure this time college takes on a new meaning, or at least one that was different than when he was 19.
