Well it's been a while since I've updatd again, so I thought I would jump on and do it before hitting the sack tonight. I finally got a job! It's in the Walk in Care for Dreyer Medical Clinic, which so far has been great. Most of the people are very nice and helpful and I can see friendships happening too.
I actually went out and did something for myself today instead of always worrying about everyone else getting what they want too! It's funny how people change when they know that I'll be bringing home money, but it's too little too late right now. I will be opening up a savings account and putting a portion of my checks away for the future. I am still going to Waubonsee to get my pre-req's done so I can apply for the RN program. Right now I am half way done with Mirco Biology, English 102 and Speech 100. Thank goodness. Next semester I will be taking A&P I, Nutrition and Sociology 100. (the latter 2 will be online). I am hoping to be able to pick up some more work hours if I take the A&P in the morning.
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately and I have come to some decisions, though I can't really share here right now. :-) Don't you hate when people do that? ha ha ha, someday..... One thing I can say is that I am tired of sitting at home because people don't ever want to go out and do things. Come on friends, let's make some plans to have some fun! As I learned 2 1/2 years ago, sitting in that hospital room, not knowing what was going to happen to me and basically planning my own funeral and my kids future without me, life is way too short to be unhappy. For whatever reason, God spared me back then with the whole complication problem/surgery and also the breast cancer scare, so now I need to just live my life to the fullest and not worry about things so much. Who's in with me? I just want to go to the movies, hang out with friends, maybe dinner/lunch or something once in a while...hell I have friends and since Mike doesn't seem to care, I'm not gonna sit around here moping.
Okay, so now that anyone whos' reading this for the first time probably thinks I'm psycho...LOL I guess I need to get some sleep. I have my last training session tomorrow afternoon and then speech at Waubonsee...another long day, but that's okay, it's making me a better person!

Here we go again....
School has started for the boys. I can't believe that both my boys are in high school already! Tyler is a Jr. and Jacob is a Freshman. Austyn is in 7th grade. Jacob came home yesterday from his first day and said that he hated it and wanted to quit already. He's in all honors classes and actually had quite a bit of homework already. He's gonna have to work hard, but he will do great I'm sure. Tyler is also in all honors and also has 2 AP classes as well. He's really gonna have to work hard. He drives himself and Jacob to school in the mornings and that is nice.
I have been going on interviews and such, but so far no luck in a job. I have had a few where they tell me that they are impressed and that I am a great candidate, then I never hear from them again! WTH? It's so frustrating and very unprofessional to me. I am hoping to land a job at Dreyer Medical, but we'll see. It's starting to depress me and make me think that there is something wrong with me somehow.
I start school again next week and will be taking Microbiology on Tues and Thurs evenings, Speech online and 5 classes on Wednesday evenings and then an English class online. It's going to be hard, but I am determined to do well! It seems like has been throwing curveballs my way for a while now and I have decided that I need to catch them and handle them soon, before things get too bad.

It's that time again
Time for another update that is. Things have been kinda busy but boring around here, if that makes sense. I have gone on 2 interviews for a job at Dreyer Medical Clinic and I have the 3rd and final one Monday, then I will know if I got the job or not. It's at an internal medicine office, but the hours are iffy because of school.
I finished my psych class with a B, which isn't what I wanted, but I'll take it. I have 3 weeks off, then I start 3 more classes; Microbiology, English 102 and Speech. The second 2 are online, well I have to go to the school a couple of time for speech just to give them, otherwise it's all done online. The only one I have to be there for twice a week is MicroBiology. I have to say I am a little worried about that class, it's never been a stong point of mine and now with having to work and take care of the kids/family while doing it...it's gonna be interesting.
I turned 40 last week too, not a big deal around here at all. As a matter of fact Tyler and Jacob bought me a cake, Austyn got me a present, that his grandma and grandpa helped him with, and Mike...well he didn't do crap. Not even a card from him and barely a happy birthday. I try not to let it bother me, but it does damn it! Jacob is planning a party for me and for his cousin, my niece, Tina, who will be 30 in Sept, on Aug 14th so hopefully that will all work out for him, he doesn't want help from me, he says because it's my party, he wants to do it. I don't know how that's gonna work though, but I love that he's doing it.
Tyler got his driver's license on July 15th and a new car on July 17th, well it's new to him. It's a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix GT, it's in my name and Matt, his dad, paid for it, wish a little bit of grandma and grandpa Schneider's help too. He loves it and so far he's been doing very well with it and with driving. I am very proud of him. He drove him and Jacob to their dad's for the weekend and I was really nervous because it's almost 1 1/2 hours away, but they made it safe and sound.
The boys start school on Aug 18th already and I feel guilty because we didn't have the money to do anything fun and exciting this summer. Hopefully next summer will be better, since I will have a job and all. I have great kids though and they make me very proud!
