Only about 10 days until school starts, and I already feel like my days are in a whirlwind! It's actually only one week until school starts for Trae and Luke - they go for an hour next Friday. But between now and then, there just seems to be an endless list of errands and appointments. Books to buy for myself, school supplies to buy for them, and in the middle of everything, the dental surgery at St Francis for Trae and Riley.
I haven't told many people that Riley is getting dental work done, mainly because I've felt embarressed by it. I feel like it's my own fault that they both have cavities and have/are getting teeth pulled. I've just never been able to understand why Luke has a wonderful set of teeth, and never has had a cavity, and Trae and Riley's are so bad. They all eat the same food, they all brush their teeth at the same time every day. So, what's the deal? Who knows? Only God knows really. I guess the only thing I can do is just keep making sure to brush, floss, and rinse their little mouths everyday and pray for God's protection and healing over their teeth.
And if all this weren't enough to deal with, I am actually starting my last year of nursing school!!! I truely can't believe that I have made it through the past year. And I honestly don't know how I will make it through the next one, but I know I will somehow. I have a crappy clinical schedule - mostly on second shift for the first 2/3 of the semester. (Either 1-9pm or 1-10pm) It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have 3 kids to get up and get ready for school early the next morning. But, I just have to trust that God knew what He was doing and know that it's not forever. I'll make it, and I will graduate on May 16!!!
These are my goals I've written down for the semester:
1) No lower than a B (83%) on every test
2) Finish RNRS 220 with a B or better
3)Do my own thorough assessment of every patient assigned to me, no matter what the report may say
4) Do a better job of listening to my patients and anticipating their needs, even before they tell me what they need
5) Take the initive - don't wait to be asked to do something or wait for someone else to do it
6) Take advantage of every learning opportunity given to me, no matter how small it may be
I think it's gonna be a great year! :)
