SAHM and Going to School

So this week has been filled with all kinds of busy stuff that entails getting ready to go to school.  Do I feel like I have lost my mind?  Yes, yes I do.  I am enrolling in one of the local colleges, and while this is mostly fueled by the VA pushing me to get enrolled so that I can use my GI Bill before I can't, there is a part of me that is ready to do this.  There is also a part of me that doesn't want to do it.  At all.  Going up to the school, just walking around all those young people, makes me nervous as hell and makes me feel old.  Of course, while I have been taking care of all these small things at the school, I have been taking J with me and of course wearing him on campus because that seems like the more appropriate thing to do.  While I probably could put him in a stroller and go from there, wearing him makes people smile, and I even had one girl walk up next to me and start talking to me.  Ok, so maybe I'm not as social awkward and unapproachable as I thought.  I still have some things to do in order to finish enrolling in school.  I like this school because they give me a few more options than the other schools I had looked into.  Next week I should have everything finished and be officially a college student.
