I really don't know how you do it all (and on little sleep too) I'm sure that if you've prayed about it and feel like it's the right thing then the Lord will help you through it! It really will go fast. <br />Don't worry about the stupid comments, no matter what anyone does, there's someone out there that doesn't approve. A few weeks ago my hair stylist bit his tongue when he blurted out "your JUST a stay at home mom" without thinking first. People are so rude, and it's none of their business anyways!Snedakershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09661256013348261505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890553894679692251.post-91637040180325504992010-06-23T14:44:44.340-06:002010-06-23T14:44:44.340-06:00tiff- I've never been a stay-at-home mome, our...tiff- I've never been a stay-at-home mome, our finances right now require me to work, and for awhile i felt a horrible guilt, but then i realized that i also have to take care of myself and my family, and as long as you take care of yourself, as a wife and mother, and make time for your sweet boys and hubby, it will all work out. <br />Remember all that we have been taught, and to rely upon the Savior, read your scriptures and not only will it all work out but you will grow and become the person you need to be. come what may and love it. good luck with your amazing opportunity.jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09286149724585830118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890553894679692251.post-72834208598720016862010-06-22T22:19:48.505-06:002010-06-22T22:19:48.505-06:00Tiffany, you have had a lot of good advice from fr...Tiffany, you have had a lot of good advice from friends and family and I honestly don't know what I could add. You have an ammazing support group and you will do just fine. Speaking from experience the two years will fly by. Look 2010 is about half over, where did it go. Your number one things is to be organized and plan ahead with your hubby.

Two years will fly by, and you will be so glad that you did it later on. I'm sure of it.

I'm sure 2 years sounds like a long time now, but in the long run it isn't! As for those people giving you the negative comments, their will always be people who don't like how you do things. I've had strange comments from people because I'm a stay at home mom. You just have to ignore those people and do the best thing for you and your family. Good luck to you and congratulations!{ Lana Cox }https://www.blogger.com/profile/13108543596818914862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890553894679692251.post-72464276708688138302010-06-22T15:05:49.213-06:002010-06-22T15:05:49.213-06:00I'm not going to lie to you, its gonna be toug...I'm not going to lie to you, its gonna be tough, but YOU WILL get through it. Finishing up my student teaching while having to leave Carson was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. Every morning when he would cry "Mommy, don't go!" it would break my heart. Somedays I felt horrible leaving my little boy just so I could go teach a bunch of teenage girls how to sew. But, I would have to tell myself that I was doing it for him...for the security of having a marketable job if anything were ever to happen to Jeff. <br /><br />You are smart, and you will get through it. You have lots of people here to help you and give you encouragement. Plus, I'm looking forward to getting your boys one day a week this Fall. It's finally time for me to pay you back for all the babysitting you did for me when I was student teaching.<br /><br />You've been given such a wonderful opportunity to do what you've always wanted to! Someway or another, everything will fall into place.Sara Birchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01790224622976417696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890553894679692251.post-3017132142602664742010-06-22T13:28:15.224-06:002010-06-22T13:28:15.224-06:00Step back from the worries and realize how fortuna...Step back from the worries and realize how fortunate you are.

You are doing what the Lord wants and what the prophets have taught - getting , or should I say furthering, your education. It doesn't matter that you already have a degree...learning never stops.

School is one thing I haven't gotten to do and would like to...but I haven't even started. Someday! CONGRATS on getting accepted. Seriously what a great feeling that must have been! Seems like you're meant to go now. On a side note, if you need help with your boys I'm close and available. I'm home most of the time so if you need me as an option I'd be more than happy!!! Just let me know.Janacahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997463706245714175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890553894679692251.post-11868360280577556652010-06-22T12:03:53.757-06:002010-06-22T12:03:53.757-06:00Tiffany, It is NOT selfish at all.

You would fall into that category that you have a skill if heaven forbid, anything ever happened to your family. You have already seen the positive side of having marketable skills when unfortunately your spouse was unemployed for awhile.<br /><br />I can think of a handful of people in my ward that have had a hard time finding jobs because they had nothing to fall back on after losing their spouse's income, either to a physical disability, death, or divorce... none of those things will happen to your man... I am certain of it.:-)<br /><br />You can do it. Just be very organized and get rest when you can! It's all very exciting I think.Jeraleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700214375983616978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890553894679692251.post-28635936637891191162010-06-22T12:03:07.201-06:002010-06-22T12:03:07.201-06:00Aw Hon, been there, LIVING that!!

It is not always possible for every family to have that 1950's Leave it to Beaver idealistic lifestyle!!! I am a WOHM (as you know). I am a nursing student (as you know). And the little boys are thriving with it all!!<br />Congrats for getting into such a competitve program and WOOHOO for have the tuition covered--that's HUGE!!!<br />You can do it, Tiffany!!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462467058533617582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8890553894679692251.post-78354940571790367912010-06-22T11:09:54.353-06:002010-06-22T11:09:54.353-06:00Congrats Tiff for getting in!

If you remember to keep your priorities straight, everything will fall into place. This is an awesome opportunity, 2 years, and you will have so many doors opened. Do what you feel is right and run with it!!! Plus you are very smart, school won't be too demanding because you've got the brains! Two thumbs up from me!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292784040661193813noreply@blogger.com
