The Unknown

I applied for my company's nursing program on August 1st....I am waiting, with absolutely no idea if I will even be notified whether or not I am even in the running. My local community college is no longer accepting applications for the Nursing, Radiologic Tech, and Dental Hygiene programs. I was accepted onto the wait list this past December, and am promised that their program suspension will not affect the start date they have given me. They say they are revamping their admissions process, either way, I will start this new career path...someday.

The kids have started school and are pretty happy so far. Quentin got sent to the office for misbehavior, and it was only the 2nd day! He said he was just feeling really tired and didn't want to work. He has been grounded - he is NOT happy about that and asked me endless questions about why such a punishment existed. I explained to him (numerous times) that we institute punishments so that the next time he feels like doing something naughty, he will remember how much he didn't like the consequence and NOT to repeat the action that got him there the last time. I don't think the answer suited him, because he was back 5 minutes later with the same question....He likes to do that. If an answer or situation is not to his liking, he starts this intense, badgering question session. I guess he figures he can wear us down with it, it hasn't worked yet!
We made a quick trip out to California this past weekend for Rob's 20 year High School reunion. It was nice to see some people that I knew, but the reunion itself was kind of a disappointment. At least we ended up winning a $40 GC to The Cheesecake Factory for having the most children out of anyone else in the room! That kind of made up for the $120 we had to pay to go to this thing for everyone else's alcohol consumption and getting no dinner. The impromptu reunion that my husband put together the night before was much better, and much more fun!
I had the wondrous opportunity to go on a FABULOUS cruise to Alaska this past July. It was the ultimate vacation, and I will have to post pictures at a later date! It was a week with my husband and his family and NO KIDS! It took me awhile to figure out how to function!
It has been an awesome summer, but now the waiting for a possible big change in my life begins...
