SHOTS SHOTS SHOTS

For ten weeks I have been stressing this test. Im good at math but I hate doing it! Today was the day to get it done and I was nervous, I take tests very quickly and want to just get it over with because it stresses me out. Not a good thing because I don't end up reading the questions correctly. I missed one because I rushed but I passed. Now I can give meds and shots. I'm sure patients are just going to love me lol. We had to practice on each other, Erin and I paired up and I have to say it was not bad. When I was doing a IM on Erin she freaked out a bit due to me making a face. One of the students were teasing me calling me the devil and I gave them a dirty look, Erin took it as something happened when I put the needle in her. HAHA it was so funny! I'm excited about this program, tons of tears and hard work but I love this field and want it so bad!

A little stressed out

A little stressed out is just a light way of saying that I'm so tired and beat up from being in the nursing program. They defiantly have gotten the best of me and it makes me feel daily that I will not get through this process. It's a hard pill to swallow and when they say to take this one day at a time, they are right. I feel lost all the time and defeated daily! I was able to go to the hospital last week and I completely felt in my element but in the back of my head I feel that this can all end due to upcoming test. It bothers me that my attitude has changed and the light at the end of the tunnel is so faint. I don't give up easily and I know I would be an excellent nurse but to get out of this funk is so hard.
Conference was Sunday and I felt the need to listen, yes, I'm admitting that I don't always watch conference but I felt I had no where to turn and I needed the church. Jeffrey Holland put me in tears and not just a few streams down my cheek but the uncontrollable kind. His talk was what I needed and I need to remember that Heavenly Father is here to answer prayers and guide me. It's just so easy to forget when life is busy with kids and the stressors of life.
I will try and be more positive, no promises but if you're reading this please say a prayer for me.

Busy life, happy life

This last couple of weeks have been crazy. School has consumed my life and the stress is very high. I am in my 7th week of school and I have cried like a baby several times. There should of been a warning lable that said this would happen haha. I passed my practicum and now I get to be in the hospital this week! The girls took me out on a much needed birthday dinner and it was just perfect. I love these girls so much, they are a huge blessing in my life. Enough for now need to write a paper haha the joy!

blah

School has been okay and I'm going into week 4. It seems a blur right now because it is so much. I feel like I don't know enough and there is not enough time to know it. Dani and I studied at Panera for 6 hours until we started going crazy. She really has helped me a lot. I'm burnt out!
The girls thought it was funny to glue a googlie eye to the baby's for head, I didn't have the heart to get mad because it was kind of funny.
Tuesdays have been my favorite day of the week! I get to watch Hunter and hand with my son. I love getting tons of hungs from these cute boys.

Soccer has begun

Busy weekend for our family was in full effect! Three soccer games were scheduled and they were about 40 mins apart. The heat was terrible but luckily we got done by 12noon, so it wasn't too bad. Kaelyns coaches are Ben and Jen, Kaelyn was very surprised. Talia shocked us all with her soccer moves, she was all over the field and cracking Jake and I up.

School

I'm still in shock with finishing the last two weeks of school with extra lab hours. It is hard, I'm not going to lie I did have to remind myself I wanted this in my life. The hardest part is last minute occurrences. For example, the first week Jake got called out for storm and the kids had to be shuffled around. There was a lot of tears and they weren't coming from the kids, they thought it was great. Soccer and homework were a big issue. I mean how was I suppose to study and get them where they needed to be? Well, I got it done and that is all that matters. If you want something in your life you need to do it. You can't wait around and wait for a miracle, you need to keep going. I have had the support of many and that will never be forgotten, it just makes me realize who is there and who says "Yeah, I'll help" and then runs for the hills. Ha gotta love it! My sweet mother inlaw had brownies for me when I got home and sent Jake flowers to give me. They were needed, little thoughtful things these two weeks got me though it all. I give much respect that do this program!

More from the beach

I got to hang with these cute guys. If was funny because the girls tucked them in and they were playing baby.

Jake helped out a friend and rode the bike to Ryan's because he got it impounded. I think Jake was more excited than a fat kid with cake. But seriously, he looks HOT on this bike!

Bren says this is how he landed Rachel!

Family works together!

I'm so not good at keeping up with this blog being in order from summer fun. Here is more from the beach that I found.
