Running out of steam

Having little ones that are sick, dealing with car being in the shop and being told there is nothing they can find wrong, not having the money you need. I am running low on steam to fix all these problems. As a wife and mom I have to get things on track when they get this out of hand but sometimes it's like running into a wall at 90. Eventually you crash and burn and would rather curl up in a ball and just forget. Even though there are highlights to the the everything gone wrong days, It's hard to see the good in all things and move past the day to day negative drag. Just working hard to create a happy more positive outlook. I am tired of being drained.

Interview gone

So since I have finished school in December I have been putting myself out there for a job. I have found that some want to see more certificates which I don't have and others just are not calling me. So when a top of line hospital called me to meet face to face I was thrilled. Having missed the call I quickly returned the call and got a voice mail at which I in turn left a message stating I was interested and would love to come in. I didn't here back that day so I waited did my follow up call and was told that it was noted I was no response, and they put someone else in my spot to interview. I was also told I could reapply, which meant starting all over again. I was angry that this girl who I Left a message with was telling she checks her messages and returns all her calls and pretty that is that. I was S.O.L her word against mine.

Here I am

I have been so busy that posting on my blog has been on the bottom of my list. Update I finally finished school and I am now a Patient care tech. Jobs are slim but I am working on getting in there. I have had time to watch all my Real housewives though. LOL I am looking forward to New York coming up, my husband not so much. I have started a few side business to help me make a little extra money one is AVON.. funny thing I have noticed is that everyone sells Avon. The other one is hosting parties on different level not make-up more on the adult side of things and its a great girls night in. Ahh and the other newest news I am expecting my third little one in July. I thought I was busy before but I keep adding to me plate. My husband keeps telling me to slow down. I have a gig for extra cash catering at the Accenture Match Play this Wed-Sunday at the Ritz. Along with things being put on the back burner that would have to be my Knitting. Oh I have so much to do. I have purses to fix, I have some new ideas to get started on for this year and I am finally thinking about contacting some boutiques to sell my stuff in this year. I have to get the guts up to do it. Meanwhile I will be working away like a busy bee. Well Happy Monday and I am looking forward to some comments or even followers.. Is there anyone out there??

Summer Break

Well I have a week off from school. I have successfully completed my CNA class and I am waiting for the first available date to take my state test. Next week I start working on my PCT classes. Almost there and then onto another college to get my AA as a Surgical Tech. Then after that on to get my Masters for RN. I am going to be in college forever.

So I have been interested in moving after I am well on my way and half way done with school. One place I have started looking at is New Zealand. Why? You can't beat the beauty, and the homes are gorgeous. The only thing is I have never been there and I am not sure what the people are like, the schools and how things work there? There are medical jobs there in high demand which is better than what I am getting here. Although AZ is having issues with the state budget so that puts jobs on hold. Then there is the other factor that so many people are unemployed that when on job opens they have thousands of applicants.

I finally made it to orientation to volunteer at the VA Hospital through the Red Cross. I have had to go through so much red tape because it is a federal building. I still have a lot of paperwork to complete and face to face interview.

I am hoping that with this nice little break I can knit and get some new items up on essenceofara1.etsy.com. And for this Month in July I am offering a free gift with purchase from http://amaxwell-cousins.mymarkstore.com/ Hey I have to help pay for college some way.

Am I Really That Boring? Wait Don't Answer That.

I must be extremely boring as a blog writer... no one wants to comment or be a follower of my blog. Hum what does it take to be the blog everyone wants to read? I need my own reality show to get my fame as an interesting blogger. LOL. Well at least I make myself laugh. God If I had cameras following me around everyday the camera crew and producers would be put to sleep with how normal I am. Just normal old me.

Well on that note I have started my 2nd part of my CNA Classes and I am so pumped to take my state test. I went to clinical and I was thrown into a entirely new world. It is hard work. These residents depend on you for help with every day things that we take advantage of. After getting over my nerves on the first day, which had me on the verge of throwing up, the routine came easier and I felt real satisfaction in what I was doing.The best feeling in the world is to see them smile and be happy. I took two practice state tests and past both, so the studying is paying off. By July I should be a licensed CNA in the state of AZ. WOOHOO! I have maintained a 4.0 and made my spot on the Dean and Directors list. Ya Me!


Me on the right.
I sent in my application to a college for nursing and I am waiting to hear back. I was hoping to hear something today but no such luck. oh well the waiting game.

On top of everything there are so many other things I want to do. I want to get my CDL and go to culinary school, and buy a dirt bike. So I would be the Nurse who can drive big rigs, make a mean dinner, and take on MX track. Mom said I am a jack of all trades and master at none. I have done tons fun and fabulous things. Life is a dance you learn as you go.. right!

Keeping up on my reality shows has all been possible because of DVR. I have no idea what I would do without it.Any who, Real Housewives NJ I am not getting the reasoning behind them. The only thing I can think of is that they are related so that's why they are interesting. Well all them are related except one. I have never been to NY or NJ, but just curious are they the same type people, or is like Beverly Hills vs Orange County. You know like City girl and the girl who knows what a backyard is. Really is there a difference? New shows I have picked up on are Southern Belles:Louisville not a bad show a little on the boring side at times. I think my interest perks more with the people who are too rich for there own good and run around buying outrageous stuff. However the Southern Belle girls are more my style down to earth and are not afraid to fish and cook their own food. The new non reality show I am excited about viewing is Nurse Jackie, which looks so funny.

Well I used say I must be gett'n on so I can knit.. but now its I must gett'n on to study study study. Oh and work on my reality show deal with a major network.

Being Sick

Uhh the cold that never leaves it just lingers and keeps you feeling miserable. I have moved on to my next class which is my CNA portion. These classes move extremely fast. I have to study hard and stay focused on the prize. Since I am swamped being a mom, cleaning, and student I am happy I invested in DVR woohoo! I have been recording my show The Real Housewives of New York. I look forward to a marathon on the weekend. The New Housewives of New Jersey scare me they might hire a hit man if you say anything bad about them. LOL

My poor knitting has been stopped completely, and even though I have a few things to felt my washer died last week. It was crazy I had a small load in and the washer got off balance. No big deal stop and it and fix it. The washer was hopping around in the laundry room so hard I was afraid to get near it. The barrel in the washer broke off it jumped around so much. Now laundry is backing up and I am waiting for a new washer to arrive. So felting is out of the question. I have so many patterns I want to start but I can't fit them in to my busy schedule. Ever since I started school it seems like everything happens at once. There isn't enough time for everything and trying to get a routine down has been so hard.

So I hear that twitter is the new thing to do and everyone talks about it all the time it crazy.I signed up but I must be getting old because I don't get it. I don't know how to find people and it doesn't seem that user friendly. However I have not set down and played with it really. I think this next weekend I will take a closer look. But is twitter the new wave of communication? Hum Well I must be off to get my day going.

Happy Knitting

Avon???

I am asking for opinions from people about Avon products. Do you like Avon? Do you find there stuff affordable? The reason I ask is because I am thinking of becoming an independent consultant with them. I was told on Friday that The Body Shop At Home is closing for consultants like myself. Your input is greatly appreciated.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
