A Me Update

Sorry, I have been missing in action. Not sure anyone has missed me....but I have missed you all.

Thank you, to those of you who left messages about your/my mother-in-law. It is good and bad to know there is more than one of my mother-in-laws out there. I am sorry and I feel your pain. As an update to my relationship. Since our last trip to Iowa, my mother-in-law has had nothing but bad things to say about me to my dear husband each time they talk on the phone. After one conversation he had with her, he hung up and told me to delete her from my Facebook page. Yikes! I didn't want to do it, but I did. It was liberating, lol. She keeps asking to be my friend again, I will not accept.

Okay, on to happier times. I am a college student now. Yes, that is right, I have gone back to school. Right now I am getting my prerequisites completed, then I apply for the nursing program. My first plan was to get my RN, however, this week I have found many articles and have talked to a few people who say most hospitals are only hiring RN, BSN. Okay, this means that I will be 93 when I complete my studies...no big deal, right? I'm not too worried. I will keep plugging along. It will happen. My plan at this point is to attend CNA classes over the summer, then I can at least get a job working with patients. This will give me more points to go towards getting into a nursing program.

Getting back into school has been challenging. Of course working 40 hours a week and 2 classes proved to be a challenge. Add to this a husband, housework, cooking/eating, a daughter who has decided I don't spend enough time with my granddaughters, I was not a good mother to her growing up, and I am a terrible mother now. (Of course, she forgets all the times I have been there for her and she doesn't ever begin to know what I have sacrificed for her in the past. I spoiled her too much.....grrrr). My real job has been very slow so I requested to go to a 30 hour work week. That has helped a bunch. I have time to get more study time in, can spend a little time with my husband, etc.

My husband is perfect! Have I ever said that out loud? I'm not sure...but I have now. He has been helping with housework, dishes, cooking and laundry. He said that this is his job, my job is to make good grades. Thank you!!! I still jump in and do a few things, but he usually gets onto me for it and says I am not to do anything. Sorry, I have to, at least, but the dishes away from the dishwasher. If I don't, I can't find anything. He puts things in the strangest places.

Okay, that is about it for now. I have to get to my homework.
