Why is it that life got so busy all of a sudden!?
I've mentioned to a few people that I honestly feel like I'm being pulled in 10 different directions at work and at home. The last month, I don't recall actually being able to take one of my days off and just do NOTHING. There's always something to do. Clean this, go pay this, drive here, pick someone up from there, attend that event that I said I'd go to, organize this, worry about that. My brain is such a jumble sometimes that I seriously think that someone should invent some sort of mental filing system. I'd pay top dollar for something like that! Anything to help me organize my chaotic mind!
I'm counting down the days until I should get a letter in the mail letting me know if I've been accepted or rejected by the Registered Psychiatric Nursing Program. I can't think back to anything I've wanted MORE than this. Getting into that program would be the start of my life, really. I know I've posted about it before, but I seriously MISS school, and I'm starting to get to the point where I need a break from work. I'm looking incredibly forward to my 2 weeks off in December for the holidays. I can't wait to just relax with my family, anticipate my niece being born and just enjoy the holidays all around. I know that if I get into school, I'll stress about the financial aspect at some point, but right now, I want to focus all of my energy on actually getting into the program first.
On my last days off, I took a day trip up to Manning Park with a friend. We hiked for hours, had a nice lunch in the park and had a generally good time. I wish I could have been with myself and my thoughts a bit more out in nature, but I'll take what I can get. It was a really nice little getaway.Took lots of pictures, that's for sure. I think I want to do that again sometime soon. Maybe Jay and I can do a hike like that sometime soon! I'd love to get into an active routine with him.
I just spent the last hour and a half or so reading my moms "hospital journal" from when my stepdad had his accident in 2004. I cried more than once. Reading how much pain she was in and what she was going through at the hospital made ME hurt and all of that happened 6 years ago. I kept thinking of Abbey and how that even if we had to go through all of that pain, we still got her. "Everything happens for a reason" rings true in this case and Abbey is that reason. I am feeling a whole bunch of emotions because of this right now.
Today was an exhausting day at work. It started out terribly and then kind of mellowed out and I was able to compose myself and get what I needed to get done, done. I'm so glad I'm at home. I surprised Abbey and Liam and picked them up from school after I took mom to work. Then I went to the high school and picked my other sister up. We all went to Dairy Queen and had some fun :) I have to leave in about 20 minutes to pick mom up from work and grab dinner. WONTON SOUP! Hurray!
Thinking about renting a movie tonight. Any suggestions!?
