It's an unbelievably cold day this morning in Alabama!  Got the youngster off to school and the large one off to work.  I have to do my mom's dialysis this morning, but after that not a lot going on. Oh, a delivery of medical supplies are due.  The sheer amount of medical supplies needed on a daily basis is staggering!  I am very fortunate that my mom lives in a large apartment built onto the back of my house so most of the supplies can be stored in her walk in closet that I have adapted with two large shelving units and many, many bins.  I have to keep it organized or else I can't find anything!  The delivery today will be the smaller of the two we get every month.  I also have to be on the lookout for potential power outages, make other arrangements for her dialysis when I go on vacation, etc, etc.  It's a very large commitment of time.  I'm going to school part time and up until a couple of months ago, I was working full time as well.  I really do like being able to do it, mom feels so much better than going to the center.

Since it's Friday, I may go for a manicure this afternoon!

A little about me...

Thought I might try my hand at this whole blogging thing.  Out of the recent trends out there, I'll probably be more successful at this than twerking.  So, a little about myself.  I'm 43, married with an amazing 13 year old daughter.  My mom lives with me and she's in kidney failure, so that means dialysis and I do that 6 days a week for her.  I've been married to the mostly wonderful Frank who works in television in both sales and voice work, for the past six years.  In an effort to further complicate my life this year I decided to go back to school to get my RN degree.  Never mind that I already have a college degree in Accounting.  However as an accountant, you get very little interaction with other people.  It took me twenty years, but I figured out I didn't want to be chained to a desk with spreadsheets for the next twenty years.  So, I've completed my first semester with about 6 more to go.  I'm getting hands on experience everyday, so I'm pretty sure it's what I want to do.  It was a huge decision to go back to school for me.  How am I going to balance everything?  What if I'm stupid now?  You know, the same fears we all have, but for once in my life I didn't allow my fears to rule my head and I've just put my faith in God that it will all turn out.  Now if I could just find some sort of after-school job, things would be about perfect.  Sounds like I'm 16 again!

So I hope to use this blog to record a little of the day to day madness that is my life in an effort to look back on it one day and be able to say, "Wow, I really got through all that ?".
