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!

Kenzie's day at school

Kenzie got off of the bus screaming, "Mom it snowed!" It was so cute. Then when I got into her backpack, I found her daily sheet with this on it... Kenzie had wrote her name (not perfect but she tried) and a note from the teacher above it saying "INDEPENDENT WRITING-- ONLY VERBAL PROMPTS!" I am so excited for her! We are definately getting somewhere. Then under the teacher comments part, I find... "SHE CAME IN TELLING ME IT WAS SNOWING-- SUPER EXCITED!" I too saw this when she got home! Construction Zone Newsletter Week 2 Dear Family, This week Kenzie will learn about solving problems. Using the topic "Build with Me," we will read stories about building things and working together to solve problems. You can help your child learn more by talking with him/her about things she/he is doing at school and the new letters and words that he/she is learning.

And WINTER is here!

I look out the window to see.... A BLANKET OF SNOW! It is covering my driveway, walkway, yard.... and we are expecting more this week! I think it is safe to say that winter has finally decided to come! Don't get me wrong, snow is pretty, but I don't like it because that means I have to drive in dangerous conditions! I would much rather be driving in tropical storm force winds and rain (I have done this! When all the hurricanes were going through Florida a couple of years ago!). Now on to other things... Saturday: I had a really busy day. I was at work and didn't think it would ever end. Admissions and falls and sending people to the hospital... stabalizing others and stuff that goes on in the health care centers all the time. Sunday: Zach forgot to add me back into the schedule, so I got off at 2pm. Rode home with Maxx since he lives in Jeffersonville and Ryan and the girls were going to be at his house anyway. When we got there we watched a little of the game an...
