{Mommy Monday} Catching Up With Myself!

Oh boy, last week got completely away from me! Holy moly! With last Monday being Memorial Day, and us having the day off, my week was all out of wack!

I got completely behind in my summer Bible study with the girls, I fell behind in my Bible study with Jay, I didn't blog all week, I didn't edit any pictures (except the ones for client friends on Monday), I just fell behind everywhere...and looking back, I am not sure what I did!

My house is a mess now that Maria bailed out on me! Long story there! So I am in search of a house keeper of credible reputation that can come to my house once a week if you know of anyone send them my way! I STILL have not finished the playroom! I just can't seem to get in there and get it done! I will finish it this weekend, I WILL I WILL!!!

I did manage to launch Jacob's blog and I am very happy about that! It was a long process of compiling stories written from birth and adding new ones for the recent year and then adding pictures to all the stories. I am making myself add more to it weekly! It is such a keepsake for me and I just hope that he will cherish it as he gets older! I wish technology was this snazzy when my mother had me so that I could reflect back on my childhood. I thoroughly enjoyed going back to all those pictures and memories, I hope you find them just as precious.

This week marks a big week for me. I have decided to take the plunge and fulfill one of my most desired dreams. Becoming a pediatric oncology nurse. I desperately want to work at St. Jude's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN. My heart belongs there. I need to lab science classes before I can apply to nursing school and I am taking them both this summer. The next 8 weeks will be a very long hard struggle for me, not academically, but mentally. I have all the faith in the world that I can get through these two classes with academic grace but my mental sanity might be a little shattered. I will still be working Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm and then be in class/lab from 5:40pm-9:40pm. So the only time I will spend with Jacob in the next 8 weeks, Monday through Friday, will be the short car ride to school every morning. He will most likely, or at least should be asleep when I get home each night. I just keep telling myself that this is going to be a great thing for our future and that it is only temporary! I CAN do it!

After these 8 weeks are over then my journey of applying will start. I am praying hard for this journey. I have a couple of programs that I am really hoping to get into but I know that we can make sacrifices and changes to accommodate any program that I get into, if I do. I am so very thankful for Jay and his encouragement. I am also very grateful that him and Jacob have the bond that they do and I know they will be just find on those long nights without mommy at home! Prayer warriors be in prayer for us during this new journey, it will be a long stressful one and will take a lot of strength, prayer and patience!
