Good Morning!

Well, I am doing it. I currently in the process of enrolling in the Nursing Program.  It starts in August 2005, and you have to enroll by January 31. I am going to get a couple of the hard classes out of the way first. Spring Semester I am taking Anatomy - Physioloy and Chemistry. If I remember correctly about 7 years ago a full-time student was 9-12 credit hours, now it is a straight 12, so I have to take an easy course every semester to get some of the financial aide. I was going to take Summer 2005 off while I wait to start the Nursing Program, but I got a helpful hint from a nurse at work and I am going to take Microbioloy in the summer and get it out of the way.

I was getting really nervous about going back to school, because I have to work full-time, and I kept seeing people who work where I do that were quitting work half way through their 1st year in the nursing program. I feel better after talking to her though. I can do this because I have to. I also learned something from watching people quit. I am going to try to get on 11-7 shift, so that I still get "days off" instead of my days off being the days I go to school. I can also do some homework at work, so that will help, the hardest part will be getting used to being awake those hours.

My husbands surgery went well. The dr said he is healling really fast. He's kind of sore, but happy to be back to work. Now he just has 4-6 weeks of physical therapy. His diet is going well too. He has lost 22 pounds. I decided to go on the diet with him, mostly just to see if it helps my evergy levels like it has him. We start walking and exercising tomorrow. Our work has a gym, so that will be cool.

Thanksgiving is going to be at our house this year with both our moms and all our brothers. I am really looking forward to it. We did it at our house once before, but for the last 6 years we have missed out on having the holidays with our moms because we lived in Kansas City. I am even going to play football with the boys, and my mom is going to help me cook.

Well I better get busy with house work, laundrey, and cooking. (Yah, I am going to be one busy and tired mom next year.

Have a Great Thanksgiving!
