Time for ME!

Many of you know, that I don't really do anything for myself, and over the years I have battled with going back to school or not.  Well in the last year, I have really been feeling the pull to do it.  After much consideration, I am going to go back!  This summer I'll have to get my pre req's done.  After that it's the RN program for me!  WooHoo!!! 


You might be wondering what has sparked this right?  Well, I have a passion for helping others.  I have experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant.  And it offers a great advancement opportunity!  Basically, my background is medical so why change that right? 

The girls are getting old enough that I can enroll them in PLACE in order for me to do this. And I have the support of my husband.  So I really feel like this is the time!  I think that over the last 3 years, God  has been preparing me for this.  Again you may be asking how I know this, well try applying for 3 years at different places and being told at every one that I am OVER QUALIFIED!  It's really disheartening!  So this just tells me I am 2 years away from a wonderful career full of rewarding possibilities!  As a nurse, not only can I help others, but it will be rewarding from the first day of my first shift!  I can't wait! 

So what all do I have to do toward this?  Well, first, I have to order my high school transcripts.  This is happening this week.  I just have to print out the paper that I have to send in with my payement.  Then I have to take the TEAS test.  That will be scheduled this week as well.  After those, I have to apply for the college and get the info for when the next set of pre req's can be taken.  And apply for financial aid.  After all of that, I'll be set to start my classes.  And to be honest, I am very excited about it! 

So, you're prolly wondering why I opened this with a photo of me right?  Well, that's the newest photo of me.  I took it last week with my cell phone, and I have to tell ya that it's the first photo I have ever done of myself that I actually like!  My self image has changed so much in the last 3 years it's crazy! 

Anyhoo, more to come!  Praise the Lord!

School is OUT!!!

Today was bittersweet for me.  I am happy its summer break, but that means we only have 2 years before we have a MIDDLESCHOOLER!  I cant believe we are that close already!  Both girls had a great day.  I got soaked walking to get Madispn, then the rain slacked off enough for me to have buckets of sweat rolling into my eyes!  It has been so humid here that i sweat as soon as i go outside let alone walk the more than 1/2 mile to her school.  We are starting a new walking track tomorrow... not sure how far but its gonna be fun to see

sad but true

Since the Pledge of Allegiance and The Lord's Prayer are not allowed in most public schools anymore Because the word "God" is mentioned...... A kid in Arizona wrote the attached NEW School prayer: Now I sit me down in school Where praying is against the rule For this great nation under God Finds mention of Him very odd. If Scripture now the class recites, It violates the Bill of Rights. And anytime my head I bow Becomes a Federal matter now. Our hair can be purple, orange or green, That's no offense; it's a freedom scene. The law is specific, the law is precise. Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice. For praying in a public hall Might offend someone with no faith at all. In silence alone we must meditate, God's name is prohibited by the state. We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks, And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks. They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible. To quote the Good Book makes me liable. We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,...
