Time is Flying By!!


Where is the time going? I mean, yes sometimes it seems to drag, but I swear every time I turn around another week has passed and the things I wanted to get done remain undone. Sometimes it’s all I can do to keep my head above water between my kids, work and school, but somehow I keep swimming. I’m sure many of you feel the same from reading your blogs.

Over Spring Break I was hoping (not sure why) to get some cleaning and stuff done around my house. Of course I was discounting the fact that I still had to work my shifts and had a Trauma Nursing course last week that many people say is the hardest class to pass that they’ve taken at the hospital. I’m happy to report I only missed 2 questions on the test, and one of them was because I second guessed myself. Oops. So I now have that under my belt and am down to two more classes to take for work, yay! On top of that I’m officially and finally off of orientation so get to take care of patients by myself. That’s pretty cool, a little intimidating, but pretty cool none the less. Needless to say my week went crazy and cleaning didn’t happen. Oh well, I did my classes and got a jump on this week’s work once I realized I had four chapters of Pathophysiology due, plus one each in Economics and Lifetime Wellness… ouch. I have to admit I was tempted to wait and blog later in the week, but decided since it frustrates me when all the blogs pop up on Friday I wouldn’t join that group and I’d try to stay ahead of the game. On top of that I’ve found it’s easier to hit 500 words if I work on it earlier rather than later, if I feel rushed I get kind of blocked on what to say.

My personal life is still a bit wacky, but I’m making plans to make all of that change. I’ve laid down some rules and outlined some requests with everyone I live with as well as opened lines of communication on all fronts in an effort to promote some peace in my world, here’s hoping it works, fingers crossed!

I’m getting a bit excited about getting into the RN-BSN program for next fall, yes the mandatory orientation is on a less than ideal day for me, but I think I have a plan in place to make it all work. I’m hoping so at least J

Oh! My poor little beat up car I bought, wow has it undergone a transformation! It looks pretty different now, I finally got my new to me door on it, we beat some of the dents out of the fender (I haven’t had any luck finding a new one) and I ordered front and back seat covers for it, so it’s looking better. Plus I cleaned it inside and out which helped a ton. Now to find some new hubcaps for it since I only have two and they don’t match and I think it’ll be a pretty decent little car for me J

    1. Chaos is the name of the game :) Getting a high score helped a ton and yes, I'm taking some steps to calm life down and bring some peace into it. I am eager to see these plans come together even though they won't be easy or without pain I'm sure.

    1. What is this spare time of which you speak??? I'd love to work on more cars... hoping for a few minutes to try to finish off what I've got going on mine. Things are looking up, next bit won't be easy, but I can see the light & I'm going for it!!!

  3. Good job on your test! I hate when I second guess myself and change answers. I really try not to do it...but still do change answers. Initial thought process is usually right though!
