So I was thinking.....

That statement alone should be enough to strike fear in the heart of anyone who knows me!  

I  have been, of course, busy.  Now I've added a new job to my list of  "crazy things I think I can do at one time."  I'm working as a Patient Care Nursing Assistant at South Pointe Hospital- Cleveland Clinic.  I've done a couple weeks training on first shift, now a couple on second shift, then I will begin on third shift.  You know... in my spare time.

I am really enjoying it so far, and I'm learning a LOT that will be helpful in nursing school.  It's not easy, nor is it glamorous.  It is, however, quite rewarding.  The floor I am working deals with a very diverse array of medical situations, and I think I tried to cover as many of them as possible last night.  This would have been tough under any circumstance, but I'm getting sick to boot.  (sigh)

I'm also very determined to finally lose this weight.  No, this is not a New Year's resolution.  It's a "I can't stand feeling like this anymore" resolution.  Working this hard AND not wanting to eat have been quite helpful with this endeavor. 
See?  There is a positive side to everything. 

So anyhow... what I was thinking about.......
I was trying to think of a verse that would help me hang on during this self-induced stress, and I thought of Isaiah 26:3.  Then I thought about how long it had been since I've updated my blog.....
Now I really should go take a shower and keep Garrett working on this paper I'm making him write....

"The steadfast in mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts You." ~Isaiah 26:3

I didn't say WHEN....

Well, I said I'd be back....
I've been thinking about this blog lately, but I just didn't know where to start.

I'm still in school.  I begin the R.N. program the end of August!  I got into the evening program at Metro.  I'm more than a little nervous...  Everyone suggests that a person get everything that is not a Nursing class out of the way before beginning the program, and I can't begin to explain how happy I am that I've  done just that!  I'll have classes Mon-Wed evenings and clinicals on Saturday & Sundays from 7am-2pm.  I know I'll have to fit lab practice in there at some time as well.....

Sierra will also be taking most of her classes at Tri-C in the fall, but she'll be going during the daytime.  If all works out, Timmy will be at the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center during the days too.  So, I'll just have Garrett home during the day.  That should really benefit him for homeschooling.

I'm trying to spend as much time at the campground this summer as possible- trying to gather any shreds of sanity before school begins in the fall!  If you'd like to join us out here at Pier-Lon Campground, just give me a call.  We'd love to have you join us!
