Tis the season

I, like most people, have to work through the holidays and my income depends on the generosity of the people who sit at the table I am waiting on. My job had it's advantages and disadvantages. If I worked at my job five days a week for five hours a day, I would more than likely bring home between 600-700 dollars, on the average a week. So for me this job has many benefits. Not only do I get to stay at home with my children and not have to send them to child care, but I work less than 40 hours a week, and make more than most average paying jobs pay. Saying that, I do my job not only for the money but because I absolutely love my job. I love what I do, getting to meet new people every night, learn their stories, and I have also met many people who potentially can help me get further in life. I dont choose to work here because I an "uneducated", or not capable of getting a "real" job, I choose to work there because I love it. I choose to work here so I can raise my kids and not someone else. Bottom line is, I am so so sick of ignorant people, who have never served in their life, telling me how easy my job is. I multitask, all night long, while pleasing 6-9 tables all at one time, without the help of anyone. I CHOOSE to have TWO jobs, raising two children, and then being a waitress, and lets face it, if I wasnt their to serve you your food...who would do it for you? Your Mommy?

I did It!!!

So I know it has been forever since I last blogged, but I have been soooo busy! I have been dealing with my life being two kids all day, work or school every night, and then studying after until the wee hours of morning! I am over it! I love my children dearly, but sometimes I just want some time to myself. BUTTTT....today I got the news that my work has been well worth it! I got into the Nursing Program!!!! Yay!!! I havent been so excited for something in sooo long. So, now comes the hard part. Trying to study and work and take care of two little guys has been hard. Now, it is just going to get harder. I am very nervous about all the hard work. but I finally feel like my hard work for the last two years is heading somewhere. So, I will keep you posted, and Patti.....I will make the reservations at Paula's!!!! LOL!!!

I Passed!

Well, I finally did it. I passed my TEAS test. For those of you who dont know, the TEAS test is a test you have to take in order to even apply to the nursing program! You also have to have A's in all of your classes, which I do. This test has been soooo hard for me to grasp and study for. With two little kids, work and school, it has been very stressful! I finally feel like I am working toward something, I actually have the chance to now get in the program, and acheive what I have worked so hard for. I didnt even go in and apply because I had to get to my car and call Bryan, Patti and my mom.I was SO extremly excited.I thought my heart was going to drop into my stomach when I read my scores. So thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. I did it, keep praying I get into the program!!!YEAH!!!

Fun Times

Well, I havent really had much to blog about lately.I did have quite the eventfull morning though. I had to get up at 6:30AM, to take Julian to his first allergy appt. I am soooo not a morning person, and my kids must know that because they both sleep until at least 9 am if not later. Not this morning though I had to wake them both up, and Julian asked if he could go back to bed:)!!!Anyways, poor Patti had to watch Nicholas because it was a THREE hour appointment! She was a good sport about it though, she was out pulling weeds when I got there, LOL. This appt. was to find out what exactly Julian is allergic to and how severe his asthma really is. Here is the hard part, they had to draw a grid on his back where they were going to put 83 different allergens into his skin to see the reaction. Yes, 83 needles into my poor baby. The first needle got a little jump but by the third needle he was screaming! I thought I was going to cry, He was screaming "Mommy, NOOOO!!!"He made it through thoungh and was not excited when they told him they had to do 16 more down his arm.....neither was I! Bottom line though is that he does have some good allergies to I would say the most common ones. Dust mites, grass, and molds where pretty bad....but he was not very allergic to Cats or Dogs, which means I will be getting both as soon as I move out of this house and build our own.(The person who owns this house wont let us have animals....I know she is a meanie, hehe:)I have to take him back in two weeks to have another round of tests, it should be fun to convince him to go back, he already is saying he doesnt want to go back!

Another Baby!

Nope, not me, Casey(my sister) is pregnant! YAY!!! I am soooo excited! I am praying and keeping my fingers crossed for twin girls! Well, I would take twins with a boy and a girl, but my family is desperetly needing a girl. I can't stand seeing the cute little dresses, and leggings for girls and walking on by to the camo crap my kids are obsesses with!(Thanks to Bryan) Since twins do run on my moms side of the family there is a chance, and I am going to just keep hoping a praying!!!! I can't wait to have that little baby smell around again:)

Sickness

So as usual someone in our household is sick. I woke up last night to Nickle having a 104 temp. and a sore throat, so naturally I took him into the Pediatritians office this morning. Hand, Foot and Mouth disease is what he has. Who gets a disease called hand,foot and mouth? Only my children of course! So he has to sit in the house for another couple days and also do his nebulizer(he was weezing at the appointment). So I have been stuck in the house, besides when I go to work, and I am going crazy. I am always on the go, I can't stand sitting around while the kids watch cartoons because they are sick. Well, hopefully everyone will be better pretty soon, and I can get out of this contaminated house!

My first Blog!!!!!

Bryan is officially going to kill me. He already says I am a dork for using Myspace to much now he is really going to give it to me for starting this blog. I spent hours tonight looking at everyones blogs from Pattis family, I guess my faimly too:) I got motivated and thought WOW, I can bitch and speak my mind and peopel will actually listen. I mean Patti listens to me bitch non-stop. Just ask her I am sure she will tell you. As well as my mother, I bitch to her all the time as well. So everyone I think knows to be prepared for my blogs, cause I talk like a trucker and could complain about the sky being blue!Although, I was reading everyone's blogs tonight and I'm not sure I will have the most entertaining things to talk about but I will try. As soon as I can get Patti over to show me how to set this thing up I will post pictures, of course of the boys.Yay! I am excited...and I made fun of Patti for starting this.OOPS!
