Oopps...

So, last time I blogged I was sick... This time I am blogging... I am sick.. Not too much has been happening. I have 2 more weeks of classes, then finals. Then I am out for the summer. I am looking for a job right now. Wellmont is thinking about me for a Unit Secretary, Mountain States Health Alliance is thinking about my as a Switchboard Operator, and I have an interview at Kmart tomorrow! YAY! Although I would LOVE LOVE LOVE the job at Wellmont since it is in Kingsport in the baby section! But right now I am game for any job thrown at me.Well, I will update later.. I am sleepy.. Got a big day tomorrow, Hep B shots, Chicken Pox Titer, Interview, so on and so on....

BLAH!

Being sick SUCKS (In case you didn't know!) For 3 days now I have had a sore throat, runny nose and my head feels like it is going to blow up! I think it is just a head cold though, so, that is a good thing that it isn't respiratory or anything of that nature.
Monday was AWESOME! We went to eat at Chili's with Abel, Will, Rachel, Adam, Dorothy and Hannah for the St. Jude's night. Chili's donated 100% of their profits that day to St. Jude's this was their 5th year doing this I believe and their goal is to raise I believe in a 10 year period they are trying to earn $50 million for St. Jude's, this being the largest donation from a single company EVER! It was so cool to see the place PACKED! Plus the line of waiting people outside! It was great. We missed it last year because I had class that night and we couldn't go, but this year we made it and I am so glad we did. It also just makes me want to go order stuff from St. Jude's web page. I have found a bunch of stuff I want, we will see. Maybe when my student loan check comes in I might have to use some and go shopping online, after all St. Jude's definitely puts money to great use! ;)
Speaking of school... I will know the second week in November if ETSU accepts me into their nursing program for January. There isn't a reason I know of that I cannot get in, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for me! And heck, if you KNOW ANYONE in the nursing department, maybe drop me a good recommendation! It would be GREATLY appreciated! I have been accepted into ETSU, just waiting on the nursing department... I am thinking positive. I am super excited/scared/nervous/overstimulated/happy/worried about going to ETSU.. Have you SEEN their campus? It is HUGE! I know where the nursing part is. But it is SO big! Guess it is like a kid starting school for the first time, it looks SO big to such a small child!

WOW!

It has been a while since I last updated this... (thank you Rachel for reminding me, last week!) I have been busy with school work and trying to get organized to the best of my ability downstairs. On the plus side of it, I have all of our necessities unpacked, but dont have room for them. We are used to having a whole closet a piece and now we are trying to fit everything into a dresser a piece and it just doesnt work well! But, that is just minor things. School is going well. I am having to study extra hard this semester being that I am retaking Microbiology to bring my C up as well as taking Spanish 2 since I only took Spanish 1. I dont speak proper English and these people want me to speak Spanish! HA! I am also taking Intro to Theatre and Probability and Statistics.
I was so excited to move here because I would be around my nephews and I would be able to see them often and spend time with them and be a part of their lives. Well, it hasnt worked out that way for me. With gas being so high we dont really go anywhere except school and grocery stores when needed. We definately need to go over and visit the boys more.
Alexis has started PT. It is going well, and actually since it is a normal routine in the last couple weeks she has gained 2 lines. (I call it lines because I dont know what they measure in, I just see lines!) We are still up to talking with doctors about surgery to help her stretch more and walk on her own, but for now, I am ok with the small steps and progress with stretching!
Alexis got her Report Card today and got S's in everything except writing, which she got a N in, since she writes in all capital letters and has issues with her word spacing... We are working on it, and by next report card it should be an S as well!
I dont think there is much more to say right now besides I could REALLY use a nap. It is funny how sleepy I can be all day and then when it is time for bed I cant fall asleep. So, I dont think I will take a nap, and maybe I will be able to sleep at a decent time tonight.
So, for those of you that actually read my blog, that is the most recent update.. More later!

Surgery

Jason is out of surgery and home on the couch! He had his sinuses opened up to fix his diviated septum (SP?!). He has a horrible headache and isnt snoring as loud as normal, so, maybe it is a good sign! Other then the headache, I think he is doing pretty good. Thanks to all who prayed for him. Please continue praying for a speedy recovery for him.

Where does the time go?

July has been such a hectic month with packing and saying good bye to friends and family. I truely dont think there has been a day I could just think about me and relax. We are moving, supposed to be today, BUT, life is always making our minds up for us! Jason has a deviated septum and has to have them opened up. Basically nose surgery to open up his Sinuses. He gets that Tuesday, then a week later has to be back for a check up. Meanwhile he is also starting Allergy Shots and has to be here for the first 3 shots before they will transfer the prescription for him. So, I will be here until Wednesday of next week and then go enroll Alexis in school in Bristol, as well as figure out my school stuff. Jason will be staying here until his Allergy shots are good to transfer!

One good thing is Jason's Mom has kept Alexis this past week for us. She will continue to keep her until I get up to Bristol for good next week. It has been amazingly helpful, but I miss her! ;)

Alexis starts 1st grade August 11th. I start school August 27th. I need to find an ear doctor, leg doctor, Dentist, and a Pediatrician all before September for Alexis.... August is looking more and more like July! Guess the saying days run together, then months run together.. I think I am going to take a day or so to just relax and enjoy life... Maybe next weekend when I am in Bristol and have Lex and I both set up for school...

Meanwhile, next Friday Alexis will be turning 7. Where has the time gone? Seems like just yesterday she was a little baby and now she is 7 and starting 1st Grade. My Baby is getting old!

Well, I just wanted to give a quick update to those of you who read this.

Mom is a Loser!

So, today Jason, our friend Johnny and myself were in the living room playing Guitar Hero Aerosmith. Jason got up for something and Alexis called him into her room to see what she was writing on her computer. He starts laughing and called Johnny in there. So, ended up them telling me to go see what she did. I go into her room and look at her computer screen and there is a sentence with a bunch of letters, then one right below it that said:

Momis aloozr

I couldnt say anything but laugh. I think she just may be a good writer one day! She definately sounds things out pretty good!

We are going to take yet another load to Bristol tonight, so, pray for no rain and no traffic!

Hey

So, I have been reading blogs for quite some time now. I have many I check daily to read updates, some I have followed for several years. I have opened a couple blogs over the last several years, but this time I will try to follow through in my attempt... Wish me luck! ;)
