Choices.Fear.Decisions

Before I begin, I am going to apologize for all the rambling and length of this post.
In October of last year I made the decision to go back to school. For some reason I knew it was time. I jumped right in and continued right where I left off. I wanted to be a nurse(or so I thought). I don't really know the reasoning why, but I just decided one day I was going to be a nurse even though something else has always been tugging at my heart. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't think I could be a nurse or even that I wouldn't enjoy it, but there is something else that I have always wanted to do. If I lived any where but here I wouldn't have hesitated, but in this small town my "career"choice isn't exactly in demand.

If you know anything about me you know I am shy and quiet. Easygoing. As much as I hate to admit, I'm a people pleasure. Secretly I am a very competitive person. I took one of those personality tests the other day and guess what, I'm an introvert. Big shock, I know. That's who I am though, it's not what I do or love. I love art, music, crafts, photography,etc... yes I am one of those people.

With all theses things in mind I finally decided to take that leap and follow my heart. It was probably the hardest decisions I have had to make, and as terrified as I am about this new chapter, I am so happy when I think about it.

I know this is very vague. And I didn't mean for it to be. I am still trying to get used to this decision, so it might take me a while to tell the world.



Not so Wordless Wednesday on Thursday

Fluffy the Puppy By: Leah Vargas

Fluffy the puppy was a cute little puppy. But on her first day of school she was scared.  Whenever her mom tried to wake her up she hid under her cover and said "no ones here now go away." But her mom said" that it was time to get up"for her first day of KinderGarden. So she had to get up. Her mom got her ready. Her new teacher showed her her desk. She wasn't sure about her first day of school. So then her teacher Mrs. Sus started teaching. And at recess Fluffy made alot of new friends. So after school her mom asked how school went and Fluffy said "great!"


I copied it for her word for word. Isn't is great!

Spring Break 2012

I was so happy to see 3-9-12 on the calendar. A week off with just my girls. I had class on Saturday, so my spring break didn't officially start until 11:45. After class Jesus and the girls met up with me in Amarillo. We had a b-day party at Jump-n-Jive.

Sunday was a typical day. We went to church. Headed to Dumas for groceries and errands. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Monday morning all plans for a fun week went down the tube. I woke up with the beginning of the flu. By that evening I was freezing and burning up. I tried my hardest to stay away from the girls because I knew I didn't want all of us to get it.

Tuesday I could barely get out of bed. Jesus came home to check on us and did what he could during his breaks but it was too late. Brynlee was already showing some signs of getting it. And...

By Wednesday, Leah was burning up and freezing. Adrienne was at the beginning stages. Needless to say we all ended up at the doctor's office.

I did however get to use a little tip I saw on pinterest. I can't ever keep up with when I give out medicine or to who I give it to. I tried writing it down, but then I have to try and remember where I left that paper. It just never worked. So here is my new trick. (I hope you don't have to use it any time soon)

 Write it on the bottle with a sharpie!!
(I know you're thinking why didn't I think of that)
With this many medications and this many doses, it saved us.



Back to the same ol' routine tomorrow.  We are all doing better. I just need to figure out how to get rid of this annoying cough that was left behind.
