growing up

It is easy to stomp your feet and sulk when you don't get your own way. ( I am known to be a great foot stomper. . .) but at some point in your life you have to grow up and start acting like an adult. And it can be blooming difficult. Having two children, you would think I have this growing up thing done but I don't.
I have had to make a choice and come to an understanding in the last day or so that has been hard in so many ways, and yet very simple:

Start a part-time degree in two weeks time or wait another year as these coming 9 months are going to be full of upheaval (good change though) for us as a family, and be able to offer my husband and children 110% of my attention.

Sounds so simple when it's written like that, and my head completely understands that I need to wait and put my needs aside, but my heart is doing it's own little foot stomping and is very disappointed. BUT, haha, this is where the grown up bit comes in. Do you dwell on it? or do you then look at this next year as a huge opportunity to discover more about your degree, go to introductory courses and read even more literature?

Sometimes it really sucks to be an adult!
