Did I REALLY sign up for this??

Sorry I haven't been around lately, not a whole lot "school-wise" going on.  I've been working & hanging out at the lake, as you can see from this picture, & that's about been my whole summer.  This is my new nursing friend from work, I am really enjoying getting to know my co-workers.  I need to be working more than I have been but honestly I just can't bring myself to do it. This job is SO hard & I try to get in at least 3 days a week, but honestly I just can't bring myself to work more than that!  It's too hot in there & by the end of my 2nd day in a row my legs are DEAD.  I mean seriously, 11.5 hours STRAIGHT of walking, pulling, pushing, turning, lifting, my body is like "Whoa, what are you doing to me lady!" I try to get some breaks in but sometimes it just doesn't happen. And yes I know I'm preaching to the choir, but I'm just saying for those out there that read my blog that are just starting out in the...

Ok I'll admit it, I am totally NOT looking forward to starting this CNA class tomorrow. First of all, I don't want to be a CNA, like SERIOUSLY I don't want to.  Everything in me bucks at the idea of it, although I'm not sure why.  I don't even plan on being a CNA any time soon so I don't know why I'm dreading this so much, but I am.  Maybe it's because of all the stories I've heard.  I've heard so many stories about how terrible of a job it is that maybe I'm jaded.  Of course there have been a few people that have said that they love this job, so maybe I should stop dreading it & just form my own opinion.  I guess I'll know for sure in the next couple of weeks.   I think also I'm just not looking forward to leaving my baby girl.  Luckily this week my friend's church is having their VBS & Alei is going to get to go with them every night this week, so this will help since I won't get home until like 6:00 every night.  I ...

Ok, so my last post I was talking about what I should do about getting my CNA license.  Should I go ahead & get it now?  Should I wait & take it after this next semester?  I just wasn't really sure.   Well get this.  Last night I was watching Beth Moore's video series on youtube called God's Purpose for You . While I was watching this I started thinking about all the plans that I have made for myself .  As I've said many times on here, I sort of have the next several years planned out for myself down to a T.  Well, as I was watching this series I started to really examine that.  I know that I want to get my nursing license, that is no doubt, but I started wondering, "Am I walking in God's purpose for my life?"  I mean, yes I've made these plans for myself, but have I seriously considered God's plan first?  So, I knew I needed to pray about this.  In Jeremiah 29:11-13 God says: God has a plan for each and every on...

So I just went for my group interview for the position in the CNA class two towns over from me. So, ok in case I haven't mentioned it before, I HATE getting up early. Absolutely HATE it. I am NOT a morning person. I like to stay up late and get up NO earlier than 7:00 am. So what do I find out today in the interview? Oh that there may be days when I have to be there as early as 6:30. Well guess what? That place is an hour from me, meaning, yep you guessed it. I will have to leave at 5:30 in the morning!! Are you freaking kidding me!! 5:30 in the morning is still considered NIGHT in my book. That's not a decent hour to be up and driving on the streets!! And guess what else that means? It means I'll have to WAKE up at 5:00 am. ARE THEY INSANE!!! I mean seriously, why can't shift change be at a decent hour like 10:00? What's wrong with that? Lord thank you that the class is only 3 1/2 weeks long. Oh my goodness. And before you say it. Yes I know there are probably goin...
