She is so beautiful Brandi! She has the cutest little perfect face. I love babies..
I have had a busy few days at home. Looking for a job.. Wanted an offer as soon as I applied, but not got one yet.. I am thinking of doing an LPN program this fall. It would be different though as it is a program on-campus and I would have to actually go to school everyday. Not even sure what LPN's get paid where I live, or even if I would like the job, but I had a dream I went to school for nursing so I woke up and looked into it. Talked to the hubby about it and he said he would support whatever I decided to do. I guess I am on this kick of it just being me and the hubs soon. My son has decided what he is going to do after the three of us sat down and went over all the options.. He will be 17 at the end of March and he has always wanted to go into the Military. He was set for a time on joining the Marines, but he settled on the Army (infantry). He will be out of school come March and he is going to enlist when he turns 17... In just 2 months. I don't know what I will do without my boy. We do everything together. Makes me feel like a nutty parent with no friends apart from my hubby and son, but I really do spend my free time with my son. We spend all day together as he has been home-schooled for years and years now. I just feel lost without him and he ain't even gone yet. Sure makes me understand the 'empty nest' feeling. I thought I had a bit more time and I know I could make him wait until he is 18 but I can't do that as I want him to know that I love and support him and his ability to decide what is right for him. I don't want him to feel like he is taking that journey alone as it is such a difficult transition from boy to man. It makes me (secretly) so sad though. So... I just have this short time with him still living with us and I have to adjust my heart to letting him take his steps from our home. Never imagined it would be so hard. It is unreal. My husband has been his Dad since my son was 10 so it will be hard for everyone.
Anywho. I have a bit of decisions in front of me. All these years I have been waiting to have a baby. Since 2001. Can't believe that God would make it to where I don't succeed. I figure I gotta work hard, but I never imagined I would still be waiting. I finally feel like myself again. I mean like I was before I got my tubes un-tied. I lost my fun during this journey. I lost my sense of humor and now I feel myself being what I used to be before so many lost babies broke my spirit. It's pretty nice. Actually, it's really nice.
I figure I gotta have a direction though. If we don't get to have a genetic baby, we will be adopting and ya gotta have money for that so I figure I should go to nursing school. I did a CNA program before and got all A's, but I didn't like nursing. Figure sometimes you have to do what you're good at, not what you like... Besides, I want to take some special trips and need money to do that. Guess I will see what direction I take... So many choices... Guess I better pray instead of just pushing ahead. I am 36 and soon will have no children at home and no responsibilities... So many paths open to me. I am so nervous.
