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!
