not really... but working at all is more than I'm used too ;) I'm grateful the my paycheck for the experience to work with these very special people. Its a real eye opening experience. I love it. I love the people I care for and the people I work with. I have some training coming up and I'm looking forward to increasing my knowledge in those areas. All of this is going to be a huge plus in my nursing career - whatever area I chose to serve in.
The shifts are alot like hospital shifts. Except for we're not on the same shift... we rotate. So far I've worked all shift except for the Owl shift (11pm till 7am). The 7am till 3pm isn't too bad once I get up and get going but I hate waking up at 5:30!
Jessica has been doing a lot of babysitting but b/c I'm getting paid I'm actually able to give her some money too. And she's rewarded in other ways (example. her b/f has been here since 2 o'clock).
Matthew has also done a lot of long hours lately. Today he got off an hour and half early but b/c of an accident on the interstate it took him nearly 2 hours to get home!
Well its the weekend and I'm only scheduled for Sunday 3pm till 11pm so I'm gonna enjoy some family time!

TGIF
Jessica is gone to volleyball camp and I'm spending the day by the pool with the kids - um baby pool. I'm trying to get some sun on my WHITE legs. Its so hot out there I keep having to come in to cool down. The baby pool isn't big enough for all of us :( But ONE DAY... I'll have a real inground pool!
I also have some studying to do for work. There's a lot of documentation to do - A LOT! And everything is done a certain way for each form. This is all very good practice b/c all of this will help me in nursing. I actually get to take some very good training courses in medication, CPR and some other areas. All of these are going to give me a leg up in the nursing program.
I have to work tomorrow night and sunday afternoon. I'm looking forward to it but hate I'm going to miss Father's Day with my hubby. Darcy keeps insisting that we take him to the zoo... so she can ride the carousel :)

My First Day
was very draining - emotionally. But I like it alot... might even love it. I can't really say a lot on here about my job. I work with mental patients at a home and thats about all I can say.

Thankful
I know its not Thanksgiving but after the last few days I feel like its best to list the things I'm thankful for (in no perticular order)
Jesus - His perfect plan for my life
my hubby - b/c without his support and encouragment I wouldn't make it
my kids - cause they remind me of simplier things in life
my house - i have a roof over my head and thats more than some
my family - b/c they know all my faults and they still love me
my friends - I may not have a lot but the ones I've got are pretty darn special to me
my new job - it may not have come when i thought it should but it happened
my education - something I never thought i'd be doing but i am and i'm good at it
my country - people complain of all the things wrong but they're whats wrong
I'm sure there's more but i'm burning dinner ;) gotta run!

B6 News
Still waiting to hear back from the job... i should be called in for orientation soon. Then I'll be added on the schedule - bout time! I've been trying to get this job for a month! Who knew it would take so long to get processed?!?
I signed up for church softball - its a ladies team. We've had 4 games so far. We're 2 for 2. Last night we had a double header and we have another one tonight! I had no idea that this would be taking up 3 nights a week. But I'm not going to complain b/c this is the most exercise I've gotten in a long time.
I'm still waiting to officially hear from the nursing program at wallace. I called yesterday and the lady told me I looked good HA and that they would decide on the 15th. In the meantime, I've enrolled my hubby at Jeff State. He'll start his basics in the fall. I'm excited for him. I hope that we both can make it through.... married, 4 kids, one with a full time job, both with a full schedule - PRAY FOR US!

Summer Time fun
The girls just got back from their annual "Girls" trip with my mom. This year they went to Helen, Ga. Darcy's favorite part was the hot tub... its like her own personal pool (don't worry they don't turn on the heat). They went putt-putting, painted pottery, shopped and just relaxed.
While they were gone I was determined to spend some fun time with my boys. We ended up staying home for Memorial Day which kinda made me sad b/c I'm used to grilling out with family but fam did their own thing. Looking back I wish we would have put up the tent in the back yard and camped with the boys - oh well. We had a great week.... we played and stayed up watching movies with them at night. We made smoothies and took a few trips to the store.
I got my paperwork for the new job. I had to have a drug screening and a TB skin test. All I will say is someone should have warned me!
Wednesday the boys and I spent the day with Jamie and her kids. We swam and had a great time. Her boys were supper sweet to my boys (I was a little nervous that her boys would be annoyed by my boys since they're so much older). Oh and the best part was I told my boys that Sophie was "Princess Sophie" so thats what they called her all day!!!! LOVED IT! She's a mess. A cute mess though! Thanks Jamie for having us over ;)
I'm playing church softball - first time in over a decade! LOL wow that sounds really crazy! I had my first game last night. I scored the only run! Well I didn't actually run it though. I just hit the ball and then they let Jessica run for me. Normally when you play catcher you get a runner (although I think last night they let everyone who wanted one have one). And catching is so much harder on me now that I'm 13 years older!
Well thats all for now!
