Moving on up...

Lately, I have felt a feeling of change in my life.

"Change has a considerable psychological impact on the human mind. To the fearful it is threatening because it means that things may get worse. To the hopeful it is encouraging because things may get better. To the confident it is inspiring because the challenge exists to make things better."

What is changing, well lets see...what isn't ;)

I don't have connections with my friends that I once had, nor do I feel the need to keep those said connections.

I feel disconnected from my overall health.

I've made some new friends, that I am completely thankful for. They understand me, and that means a lot.

My views on whats important have really become apparant.

Appreciation has become my new best friend!

Sure some are not so good, but right now I think the good changes are outweighing the bad changes. I knew this would happen when I went back to school. Priorities change, people change, you change. I keep telling myself it will be all worth it when it is over. Perhaps after repeating it enough, I will believe it whole-heartedly.

I'm missing people, my Dad, being one of them. (Hi Dad!) I wish there was a way for us to spend some time together, soon - I hope! Perhaps if I get accepted to Nursing school, I can splurge and come and visit with you!

I'm burning out of school. Perhaps its the uncertainity and knowing that after all of this hard work, I may not get into my program. That really changes your perspective, believe me. However, I am still moving on.

I'm embracing this change, taking it and moving on up!

For up is the only way to go!!

Risen!

I hope you all had a most enjoyable Easter. We enjoyed a dinner/day with family! What more could you ask for?


I need to post this, I love this story of Rose.


P.S. If you think taking pictures of 1 or 2 children is hard, try 3! Next to impossible, almost!!

While at the hospital on Saturday visiting my husbands grandmother, a nurse started talking with Rose about what happens Sunday (Easter). Nurse asked Rose, "Who comes tomorrow?" Rose thought for a quick moment and said, "Jesus". The nurse looked up at me with a startled eye. I smiled. She then proceeded to ask Rose, "Well, what is so special about tomorrow?" I know the Nurse was looking for the usual Easter Bunny, or Easter Basket reply, however Rose proceeded to state, "Jesus lives!". The look on the nurses face was pure joy in my heart. Hallelujah!

It's begun!

The craziness, the monotony, the impatience! School started last week. Nursing Pharmacology and The Human Body: Human Body Holistics. One seems harder then the other, I will let you ponder on that one.

With school, comes tutoring. I'm becoming less and less fond of the idea of spending my precious time doing this "chore". I won't even comment anymore on this! The words aren't nice.

I took my first big test on Tuesday! Wow, it was intense. I will get my results in three weeks, it seems like an eternity of waiting, though! Next big one is in May.

Last week, was a week filled with emotions. My daughter lost her Kindergarten teacher. The reasons are clear, but with privacy matters at hand, we were not told the truth. I was devistated, hurt, words cannot speak my emotions last week. Rose was the same, she seems to be handling it better now, but still the same she misses her teacher!!

This week is Spring Break for the girls, but not for Mommy. Hopefully I can fit some fun things into the schedule for them to do. They deserve it! They have been so supportive and well behaved through my whole schooling adventure (well pretty much ;)

Wanna hear a funny: When I leave the house - all the girls (including Mia) say All A's Mom - no B's. My response is yeah, because B's are a BUMMER! I love them so - they keep me going....

Sunday is Easter, we have plans to have lunch/dinner with family. Thats the best part!
