something to talk about...........

HI everyone,
Well I have not had alot of time to blog, much less anything else. I have been doing my clinicals at the nursing home/ Alzheimer's unit. I have had the worse days of my life there. ( well almost....definitely the worse days of my professional career!) I am glad this will be last week of them and then I start college! wooooooohoooooooo! I am glad Christmas is over, I can't say it was the best Christmas I have ever had, I am making changes after this year for sure! I need to stay home with my kids and have family time...I am tired of driving all the way to town and not being able to enjoy our holiday. Enough of that! The kids loved all of their gifts and they thought this was the best Christmas they had ever had. I was happy that at least I did that much for them. This next year is going to be very rough on them with all of the changes that are happening.
ROb has an interview tomorrow at Columbia foods they need a refrigeration mechanic and they are willing to train the right person. I am so happy! I just pray that if he gets the job he will like it , so there are no regrets. I would like to stay here at least until I finish nursing school because they have such a good nursing program here and the college is still small enough that you get alot of one on one help and I need it!
Well I hope everyone is well and please keep praying for our family!

EXHAUSTION!

HI all,
I know it has been a awhile since I have blogged. I have classes from 7 am to 3 pm and by the time I get home I am worn out , I have to deal with the kids and the house and then do homework. That hasn't left me much time for anything other than on the weekends, and during this season that is pretty full. I am helping other people with their projects for Christmas , but I am actually not making any gifts this year, some I am touching up a bit , but everything has been bought--NO TIME! for crafting!
CNA classes are going well I will be done with all of the book work on Thursday and then we start clinicals on Friday and then I have to be to work at 6am--UGH! is is so early and the roads are so bad in the morning and the fog from here to Moses has been really bad lately so it takes me a good 45-50 minutes to make the 20 minute drive because I am to scared to go very fast. But I will be happy to be done with them in a few weeks and then start my classes at the college on Jan 7th.
The kids are all excited for Christmas to come, Clarissa keeps asking " How many days does it have to snow before Christmas gets here?" The rest of them are so excited to open their gifts and see what treasures they got.
They all got good grades in school, JEri is flunking a few subjects so she will have to start Saturday school after the winter break.
We have been healthy so far , I am happy about that. The kids are having their Christmas programs this week at school and I will have to miss them which is sad because I have gone to almost everyone --but I can't because of my classes and being in the next town over will be to hard to make them all. I just wish they had one parent there to watch, but life goes on........
Well next weekend we will be off and running with our whirlwind Christmas plans. It gets kind of hard traveling for all of the holiday and being in so many places in such a short amount of time, but then I think about... The fact that I am blessed because I have so many places to go and so many people that LOVE us and want to spend time with us...We can't ever fit everyone in....SO I should just be thankful and when I am old and can't travel I hope someone comes to visit me. I hope you all have a good CHRISTmas and travel safe! LOVE US!

A new Adventure!

HI ALL,
Its been awhile since I blogged, I have had alot going on........along with Thanksgiving which went great--I had a bit of a timing issue--I was ready before I was supposed to be --but it all worked out fine, anyway....we had a nice time.
I have been running from here to there and I have been to SPokane and I registered for my college classes--I will be an official college student on January 7th!! I am taking math,english and Psychology! Tomorrow is my last day of work at the hospital , on Friday I start my CNA classes. ( I have to be a CNA in order to get into nursing school) I will be done with my CNA classes on Jan 4th so I will have 2 days to spare for my college classes to start! I am nervous excited and happy to have my goals fall into place.
We have had alot of traffic on the house recently--who knows what will happen with that whole thing, ROb is still applying for jobs when he comes home . However I cant really move at this time while I am in school so I will have to stay at least thru my first quarter. I need to go--I will try and check in later
