7/9/12

My last day of school is going to be 7/9/12--as long as I pass everything!!! It is hard to believe I will be done, I feel that it has consumed our lives these past couple of years.

What I need to get in the next 6 weeks:

~800 review NCLEX review questions--almost done
~something like 11 test
~6 weekly clinical anecodals
~3 teaching projects
~3 journals for mental health clinical
~3 case studies
~2 careplans
~2 support groups on my own time and paper about them
~1 concept map
~ math test requirement to graduate

The list is slightly overwhelming...one day at a time

7/15/12

7/15/12 is when I will be done with school!
7/15/12 I will be able to give a big SIGH of relieve.
7/15/12 will be a bittersweet day--I have made some amazing friends that I would never met if I would not have went back to school. If I would have met them on the street I probably wouldn't be friends with them today. We definitely come from different walks of life but they are amazing women.

and if I could just train her to do the laundry my life would be a lot easier!!!

New Year's Resolution 2012

FINISH SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!

Merry Christmas!

Its hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner and the 2011 is coming to an end! By the end of 2012 I should be a registered nurse which absolutely crazy!!

Keep on Keepin' on

My Grandpa was none for his rhyming he is something he wrote after they had a major barn fire in the '60's. Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.

When disaster strikes at your house, it is more real to you than any atom bomb,

and you have a right to wonder what keeps you keeping on.

Here is where I claim to be something of a pro!

And these four things I know …

If you have friends and neighbors (and you have them if you are one);

and if your wife and kids still love you;

and if your faith in God above you is firm and strong;

and if your credit is good – that is all you need to keep you keeping on.

Someday you will find that the clouds will have a silver lining.

The day will be fair and the sun a shining.

And in your heart you will have a song,

because instead of sittin’ and quittin’, these things keep you keeping on!

Update!

So its been awhile since I have posted, I guess working full-time and going to school part-time willdo that to a person!! My last post was one step past being absolutely depressing.

Here is some good news:

-My parents are back together
-We had a slight cancer scare but test results came back benign(insert wiping the sweat of forehead)
-I am on a much needed Christmas break :)
-Good friends of our's found out they are pregnant after trying for years
-I realized lastnight that at this time next year I should be done with school, never thought I would see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

Hope everyone is having a great start to the holiday season!!

sometimes i don't if i should cry or scream...

so to say this semester has been rough could be considered an understatement.

-they(the school) 'forgot' about the part-timer's when they put the fall schedule together. which means we are stuck taking the full-time schedule--not fun! the upside is i will be done with two of my classes the second week of Oct and my clinical will be done the first week of Nov which means i will have a llllloooonnngggggg much needed break
-working full-time and i have a full school load is going to send me to a facility with a padded room. upside i have the best husband who will do things around the house especially if he wants clean clothes :) no seriously he has been wonderful and i could not get through my crazy life without him(or my faith)
-my parents have been separated since i don't even know Mayish?? yes they still live in the same house and yes it has been difficult which could also be considered as an understatement. yes there are times when i just want to yell at both of them and say you are giving up on 30+ years of marriage. the hardest part is one does not want ti be divorced and the other one does--what do you say??

no pity party here just ready for the 3rd week of Oct!!!! and the 2nd week of Nov!!

i realize this is all in lower-case and it will stay that way :)
