Sundry life events.

gateslackerWhew, these past few weeks have been a whirlwind. If you have been reading this exciting and thought provoking journal (snort), I told my sister not to have her baby till I was off work and she complied. Abigail Faith was born yesterday evening weighing in at 6lb 11oz. Had my sister gone to her due date, April 17, I suspect the child would have weighed over 10 lbs! Since Abby was early and my sister had gestational diabetes, her lungs aren't quite up to snuff, so the hospital erred on the side of caution and sent her to an NICU in Nashville. She is doing fine...just needed a bit of O2 and a little time. Hopefully, she will get to come home sometime in the coming week.
I am also seriously entertaining the idea of going back to school. I started the application process and have been accepted through the Regents online degree program, been assigned to school which was, fortunately, Austin Peay, and have been given the go ahead to apply to the graduate school. I hope it doesn't cost a fortune which is the one thing that has been holding me back. (Other than the idea of actually having to jump into the whole study/busy work fray). I am hoping to head to the school next week to see what other hoops I need to jump through as well as talk to the advisor.
Other than all of the above, not much new going on here. I haven't watched any TV in ages. Netflix is making money on me, so I better get busy with season one of the X-files. It is Brandon's Spring Break and our trip to Gatlinburg is off for the moment due to new babies and such. I need to search for some local fun stuff for us to do. Next weekend starts my new every weekend work schedule. But, first on the agenda, Groceries! I haven't been since way before the Oklahoma trip. There is nothing in this house...LOL!!!

Date: 2006-03-25 07:59 pm (UTC)As for study, I know it will be an advanced Nursing degree. I am just undecided about my primary focus. I am thinking of becoming a Nurse Practitioner (NP). I know I could make scads of money as a Nurse Anesthetist but I really don't want to go that route. I have also thought about teaching nursing but, you know, I gotta get over that whole public speaking phobia for that ;-)
