Adjustments

There is a theme brewing here! Adjusting to a new way of life! I have not had a real job in so long, well really never, but especially not since that kiddos came round. Well, I'm currently working a full time schedule (3 12 hr shifts a week) trying to finish up the last little bit of school and it has been tough on our little world. BB is struggling hard, but I think in time he'll come around!

Today my nurse that is orienting me made a comment I found kind of funny, but true. She said "you have to adjust to not being a student or a tech anymore! You are not the gopher anymore, someone else gets paid to do that for you!!" I found that to be so funny! What was even stranger is that one of my former classmates was on the floor today doing clinical for her LPN program, and I found myself being so thankful that I'm no longer in her shoes! Then to end the day the patient we had just finished delivering called up to the desk and asked for Amy, her nurse! WOW!!! I mean technically I'm not a nurse yet, but what a neat feeling that was that someone needed me!!

Finally, the biggest adjustment of all: juggling home life! Our house looks like a bomb went of (usually it just looks like a small tornado hit). Our dishwasher died, our laundry basket blew up and apparently the swiffer duster is on vacation!! Oh, and the stove retired!! lol I guess this weekend will be spent buying a new dishwasher, attempting to turn my mountain of laundry into a mole hill, and buying a new swiffer duster. As far as the stove goes, well we'll just have to see!!
