As I sit here on the computer stressing about how much housework I have to do, I wonder how my house will look come January. I went yesterday and took my placement test @ VA Western and on Monday morning I will officially enroll for classes in January. My goal is to enter the nursing program in 2010. I hope I am not making a big mistake. I don't manage my schedule very well now just working a part time job. How in the world will I do it going to school, working, taking care of a family and possibly having a foster child at the same time? We submitted our application and have just begun the approval process to be foster parents. This will take awhile and we have no way of knowing how quickly we will have a child placed in our care. We are trying to figure out if we should make an extra bedroom downstairs so we would have a designated room just for the kids placed in our care. We have a twin size bed, a crib, dressers bedding etc. so I really think we should prepare a space. I talked with the girls a little bit about all of the new stuff happening. They are thrilled about possibly having little babies in the house and just as thrilled about Mommy being a nurse someday. Ava asked me yesterday "Mommy, when you're a nurse will you be my best friend and not give me shots?" Of course that would be her first thought, SHOTS!! Please keep us in your prayers as we transition into an exciting new phase of our lives.
