Yea,It's The Weekend!

Icon 3 Comments
Good Morning All!! Yawn.gif

Yes...I'm still sleepy, I didn't sleep well....per usual, but that's par for the course. Guess I'll talk to my Doc at the next visit to see if he wants to change my sleep meds, since I don't sleep when I use them!! smile.gif Just checked out local weather channel and Thank Heavens, the nasty weather is mostly gone from Raleigh at least for this weekend!! Maybe only some plain, old, normal rain. Yea!! cheer.gif

My daughter is home early for her weekend. She's in Nursing School at East Carolina University and is a Nurse Scholar at one of the major hospitals here in Raleigh. For the Nurse Scholar program, she has to work a certain number of hours/month. So she didn't care for the Float Pool and she went out looking for something else in the hospital, so she found a more permanent position in the peds unit, which is where she's pretty sure she wants to work after she graduates, that or maybe in the Neonatal NICU. So, now she has a permanant position as a Nurse Tech in the Peds Unit, but she works every Sunday from 7am to 7pm and then she drives back to ECU after work. The cool thing about this Nurse Scholar position, she's guaranteed a position in the hospital after she graduates from ECU this coming December. This is how she works off the scholarhip. So,she'll have a job at least for 2 year with this hospital -- which is where she wanted to work anyway.

Hopefully she'll want to go shopping or do some Mom/Daughter stuff today. She's been a bit distant lately,but I can't blame her after what's happened at home.

You folks that are living in the North East --- take care and be careful with all the snow you've gotten/still getting. Don't try to go clean up sidewalks & driveways all at once. Safety & Your health come first!! Better yet -- go rent a snowblower if you can find one.

Well, take care and have an awesome weekend. Just pray for me that mine will be peaceful. smile.gif

Take Care,
Susan

hi susan, its good to see you blogging, i think it makes one feel better being able to get your thoughts and emotions out. my son is in nursing school too. i am very proud of him as i'm sure you are the same with your daughter. the program she is in sounds great to give her the hands on experience she needs for nursing. i hope you are doing better now after i read your post. hopefully blogging will give you some inner peace and comfort. we all are here to support you. please keep blogging, whether happy or sad, we don't care. whatever is on your mind, just let it out thats why its therapeutic as asha says. i wish you the best, keep smiling no matter how hard it gets.

Achandra, yes, Melissa is pretty smart, but she's like I was when I was in school, she has to work hard for everything she gets. but, everyone who meets her, loves her immediately, she's so sweet. I've been wake most of the night so I got to see her off to work this morning when she left at 6:10AM. She'll work till 7PM and then drive back to ECU in Greenville, NC. That's about an hour and a half/three-quarters away from here. Then, she'll be pooped!! yawn.gif We only got some flurries, thank heavens, because it wa supposed to be more. Yes, it is Wayne's (hubby's) job to do all the shoveling at our house too. Here he sells snow blowers for John Deere and we can't even get one!! smile.gif Well, truthfully, we don't get enough snow here in good ole NC to need one.

Kanderson, I'm going to try and keep up the blogging. When does you son finish with his school? Melissa will graduate in December of this year. I'm doing a bit better. Thanks so much for asking. The blogging has indeed helpped like you and several othrs said it would. Now that I know your are all truly here to support me, in the good or in the bad times like you and several others have said, I'll try to keep up with the blog, no matter what go in it. asha is so right, it is very therapeutic. Some rilly crappy stuff hapened last night with the familyand I should have come to you guys and talked about it, but I didn't, but I will from now on. it's much better than crying in bed. I just can't always get my old laptop in my room to work well. Plus, I never, ever want hubby to know what I'm writting!! Because I think he'd have a duck! Tantrum.gif

Take care everyone!! To All You Super Bowl Fans!! HAVE A GREAT TIME TONIGHT!!!!! smile.gif
