I"m attacking Math, it's not atttacking Me!

"Why does math seem so much better when your learning it on your own, and no one's sticking it to you?"

Ok, so I finally got my math program up and running! I am starting from the easy way up. I am not going to force myself to try to accomplish the higher levels without understanding it all as a whole. I"m using ADvantage 2006. I am starting out with the pre-algebra/basic math. I have made it up to simplifying fractions. Fractions have always been one of my many conflicts with math. I am hoping to change this. I am finally beginning to understand how to do math again. I know that it is going to get harder and rougher. It just seems so much easier to take it in chunks then be thrown in a classroom with a bunch of people who already get it. I was always the one who couldn't move on to the next step, and now I can take as much time as I need to get the concepts. My BH is helping me too.
I don't know if this means I will continue on to get that teaching degree. I do want to try. Right now I am considering getting my associates in early childhood if it is offered through NMC mostly because if I am lucky by next fall I will be considered in district which will mean a savings for me on tuition. It would be a dream come true since they keep raising it.
I figure we'll be in district for a while longer. We have a few plans for re-locating into a home, but it is going to take time. I'm hoping to be in one by the time I'm 33 so I can finally start a family. It is so scary, I do want a family, but I am scared to death about having kids. This is why I only want one. I hope by then my math is improved so I can help them. I keep praying that things will turn around for us, and somehow god will take me where I need to be.
