But, I am pleased to say that I passed my 2nd class on this journey to my BSN! It was a 6 credit hour class, so it was more like 2 classes (in my head anyway) lol!
I am 9 credit hours into this semester that started Jan 1!
Check it out...I am only 33 credit hours from my BSN!!
So now I am well into my next class (no time for sitting around)... It's the dreaded... Biochemistry! Ahhh!
I got through the first "week" of lectures (I had to make use of the rest of my child-free day off) and I have to say, this class might just make me forget why I wanted a higher degree anyway! I have to do 5 papers! 5...FIVE! On Biochemistry! Crap crap crap! I really feel like I wrapped my head around this first unit, I just don't know about these papers & diagrams & crap I have to draw. Dear Baby Jesus...please help me through this...amen. :)
Allright, enough about that. Everything else is looking ok. Still a tiny bit bummed that the state of Texas never opened up my TB nurse's position, oh well. No use dwelling on that. I was hoping for a miracle job to pop up so that I can find a work/life/elementary school drop off time balance. I have absolutely no idea where Madison will be going to school next year for 1st grade. And enrollment & all that junk is starting soon. And, just incase anyone other than my (terribly misguided, possibly less than clear on the whole picture, less than sane) family wants to recommend home-schooling...for the love of God (& everything else that's good in this world)... Have you met me, like ever? I am nowhere close to a good teacher.
Before my nurse friends say any fun thing about discharge & parent/newborn teaching ... This is not teaching someone how to change a diaper, or not to shake a baby. So, no thank you. If anyone has any relevant recommendations, I would love to hear them. Or if any of my ex/retired teaching friends cares to open a homeschool, let me know. :)
(for the record, no Nicole... Do not insert comment here, lol, although I love you)
Quick update on our Sadie-girl...she is doing great! She is back to her old self, minus a few pounds still. I am so relieved that our amazing vet took such great care of her (and yes, of me too)!
She is back to her old habits & I am overjoyed to see her staring back at me every morning while I'm getting ready for work, wagging her tail as if she just looooves my version of "Footloose" & "Don't Stop Believing!" My poor girl endures it all. :)
And onto sad things, we still have a few family members with serious health issues. 2 of them with Hospice care now. Any prayer is very much appreciated by the entire family. Can I just say... Cancer sucks ass.
Thank you to all my family & friends who read & follow up with me (even though my blog is every 2 weeks now) You guys mean so much to me. I love you all. (Unless somehow there is a crazy troll somehow reading this...or a Manning hater)
Goodnight, sleep tight... Don't let the....
