Things are busy here. I won't complain, because I know that staying busy is good for the soul, but seriously, some days I just want to run away.
I am still in school, about 8 months away from my RN. I didn't realize how hard it was to be a "good student" and a "good mom" at the same time! Between class, clinicals, study time, drive time to Salt Lake and back, work, and sleep, I find little time to be a mom. I am relying on my parents now more than ever and I don't know how I would do it without them. The other day Hannah asked me if I was coming home that night and I thought that was a silly question because I come home every night! I guess getting up at 4 am to leave and getting home after bedtime leaves her wondering if I will be home or not.
I have had some amazing experiences in my clinical rotations that make me so happy I have chosen this path. I can see the opportunities to make a difference in the quality of life of many people and feel so blessed to be able to do this. I just hope to retain my sanity!
Good news is that it is November and I have some fun stuff planned! I get to spend 5 days in San Diego with the Board of Directors for the Utah Student Nurses Association, and it sounds like we will be going to Montana again for Thanksgiving. All in all, life is good... Especially when I get to have a day like today and spend it with my favorite girl...even if all we do is paint our nails and do homework together :)
