Maybe it’s just the season I’m in, the gloominess of the winter..I get that ‘seasonal affective disorder’ crap. I’m already on mild antidepressants for my slight anxiety issue, I thought that would help through the winter months, but, it does not. Anyhow, I just feel overwhelmed daily. Looking at my list of what all NEEDS…… Continue reading Overwhelmed
A Higher Calling
Being a nurse brings you into so many roles. Just as in the role of wife, mother, sister, daughter, granddaughter, aunt…we are more than just the title we go by. Right now I work in a physical rehabilitation facility. Most of my patients are over 65 years of age. The majority are healthy and can…… Continue reading A Higher Calling
Celebrating Now
My mom recently turned the BIG 6-0! My sister and I decided to throw her a surprise party and invite some close family and friends. Mom had had a rough couple years, and we knew this would be a big deal for her, and she most certainly deserved it! It’s hard to imagine my mom…… Continue reading Celebrating Now
It’s been so long
It’s been quite some time since I’ve looked forward to all the fun things that come along with celebrating Christmas. After working in retail for almost a decade and working in the restaurant business, you lose your zest for each holiday season. I’ve been out of the business now for about 4 years or so,…… Continue reading It’s been so long
When the well is dry
We’ve recently embarked on searching for our first house. After being together for 18 years and married for almost 17, we figured it was time to start looking around and seeing our options.

I was finally, at the age of 34, given the opportunity to finally fulfill this dream. I was so excited. I recently gave my notice at this facility,…… Continue reading I’m a nurse
Control
Sometimes I sit and ponder what this word means to me. I feel I used to have a slight tendency to control situations, and sometimes just life in general. Through the years I have gotten better at this. I have gotten better at giving it over to God. Trying to let God control the situation…… Continue reading Control
Over it
Being a nurse is not exactly how I had pictured it. This is who I’ve wanted to be since I was in middle school. I finally got to make my Dream a reality in my mid 30s. Seeing as how I went for my License in Practical nursing (LPN), my options are limited as to…… Continue reading Over it
My Little Lady
My daughter’s hair has been long since I can remember. We’ve only ever trimmed it, and cut it a bit a few times in her seven years. Well, today, it was time to chop it off! Alison has such a hard time brushing her hair since it’s so long, let alone fix it or do…… Continue reading My Little Lady
Nursing school
When I was in middle school, we had to do a paper on the career we wanted to one day enter into. We had to do lots of research; they even had people come in from different professions to speak to us and and answer questions. Right then I knew I wanted to be a…… Continue reading Nursing school
