TGIF

A pretty typical day here in the Long house. I have the kids all day (no preschool) on Fridays so it can get a little crazy. Chase's first week of school went off without a hitch. He only has one homework assignment so the weekend should be pretty relaxing. I had a doctors appt when he got back from school today. I know I mentioned in earlier posts about my PCOS. So I had a little medical issue last week and had to go into the doc today to make sure everything was ok. I am happy to report that I am actually much more "normal" than I was when I started TTC with Kaylee. That is half the battle! Now as long as school goes well and my work stays consistent, we will be looking forward to baby #3 : )

In the mean time I did continue on my journey towards starting school. The cc in my area requires a mandatory intro to nursing info session so I stopped by over there. I was an hour late and the class had already ended but luckily the teacher was still there! She is actually the coordinator of the entire GCC nursing program, the person who certifies for the board and most importantly the one who picks the CEP program candidates. I actually got to pick her brain about all of my nursing program questions for 30 minutes or so. How lucky that I had her all to myself!

I have been kinda torn over the different nursing programs to go to. I know I want to go back to school but I have a commitment to Chase to let him get through his degree first. As it looks now I would probably start my degree and be going to school at the same time as him for two years. It is a little stressful to think about that because I am  the sole bread winner of the house right now. Hopefully I can figure out a path that benefits us most. I just don't see myself being able go full time to nursing school in the CEP program and working full time. I am confident that I will find the answer though. If someone else can do it then I am sure I can.

On a different note, Tyson started using phonics! His time in preschool has helped him tremendously in this area. He has started copying words I say and telling me what they start with. Like this morning when I said, "Dog" he said "duh duh Dog. That starts with D!" It is so exciting. We are right around the corner from reading! Yay!

Kaylee has adopted a new universal word. For a while everything was mama, then everything became horse. Now everything she sees that she doesn't know the name of she calls Nala (my sister's dog) It is so cute because she actually thinks she is talking like me so she will say "Nala nala nala nala. Nala Nala." It is really quite funny to see :)
