Good Things!

So this week I accepted a position in the Emergency Room at Salem Hospital. It was very surreal at first. About 12 hours after I kept saying "Scott, I got a job!" It took a little bit to sink in. And I still don't think it has "hit" me. All day I just keep thinking, in three weeks I will graduate. And the coolest thing of all - well two things actually. #1 - my first day is May 25th, that is my birthday, what a great present. #2 - as of this moment I am a night nurse, but I will do about 2 months of orientation on days. There is a day nurse right now that wants to go back on nights at the end of the summer. So when you figure that up, I might have to work a month on nights, maybe. Answered prayers here people.

What else? Today I have re-started my diet for the 10,000th time. Oh well, I just really am miserable and I have realized that. So I am journaling and keeping track of points. Usually it is so hard for me the first day or two and today it was no big deal. I turned away a free donut, got my kids ice cream and had only a lick. So wish me luck, I won't lose much before Florida, but every pound counts when you are talking swim suits.

I am sure I have lots more to tell, but that is the biggie. I HAVE A JOB!!!!!

Keep Up the Good Work

I know I am supposed to be MIA, but I gotta tell you gals you are the best. I don't know who all is praying for me but I must admit I have had the best 4 days in a while. I think it all started with my last post. I got a call from PCRMC Friday for an interview in a department that doesn't even list an opening. That interview is tomorrow. I finished up one of two big projects for school and I got a weekend away with my hubbie without my little angels. And I just keep singing Kim's favorite song over and over and over in my head. I have to get a copy of that! Reading Chrissy talk about her weight struggles has somehow given me new motivation in my get healthy journey. BTW I bought The New Atkins For a New You book Thursday and am pretty excited. It lets you have caffeine! I always get the "Atkins Flu" when I start it so I always give up about day three and I know if I could just have a cup of coffee or a Diet Dr Pepper I would feel better but before you couldn't and now you can! So I am gonna start it tomorrow! Yeah me! I know this is getting off track but the more I think about the way our grandparents ate compared with how we eat today and I think about what has changed the answer smacks me in the face like a V-8 commercial - processed foods! Duh! All the convenience crap we ingest is making us fat! It makes so much sense but is hard to break the habit. Anyway, back to the point, thanks for praying for me and keep it up, I still have 39 days until my sanity is restored!

MIA

To all my bloggy friends:

I will be MIA for a bit. You see I am on a serious countdown with school, but that also mean serious bear down and get 'r done! I am happy to report in 42 days I will graduate, but that means I have to take a bit of a blogation. I will miss you all, and will be checking in on your blogs, but no posts from me for a bit.

I will give you a quick update.

April 3rd my little man turned 3! He had a great party, and didn't cry this year. Last year he cried most of the party.
Easter was great, how can it not be? Easter is the day we all got hope.
This week has been good, I had an interview for a job in the Emergency Department at Salem Hospital - I know what you all are thinking. Salem? Well it would be a days position, they hire new grads unlike Phelps County which does not hire new grads for their ED anymore, and yah gotta start somewhere. It went really well so lets keep our fingers crossed. I have a couple of other prospects working right now too, puttin my feelers out at PCRMC so we will see. I just really need a days job for my family, so pray for me in this new job exploration.
Scott is great, Hannah is wonderful, and Jack is growing like a weed. It always freaks me out when you go from pants to shorts or vice versa - it's like you all the sudden see how much they have grown. And Hannah, man she has got some looooong, skinny legs - got em from her dad NOT me!
As far as me, I cannot complain, I am not pregnant yet (bummer) but I really believe God knows what he is doing on that one and it will happen when it happens or we will be very content with our two great kids. Either way, fine by us. I was kinda in a funk most of February and March but BANG Spring arrived and I am fine. I am starting to really believe in that whole seasonal depression thing. . .

I know you gals will understand my absence. Remember I am thinking of you, and expect you all to be praying for me!
