I thought I would post a real quick personal update here. As ya'll know I went on a job interview last week. I got the job. WooHoo!!! I'm now just waiting on all the paperwork to come back to HR so that I can get started with orientation, etc. They send out the paperwork for background and reference checks so it isn't something that happens right away. But hey, I'm just glad I got the job.
I also went to the college for orientation for the program I wanted to get into , General Ultrasound. Well, I don't think I'll be doing that this fall. And after talking to the instructor at the orientation I think the best thing for me to do since I already have a degree in Cardiovascular Ultrasound is to just audit a few of the classes for CVT and get into working in that field instead. Why? Because I will be working 7p-7a 3 -4 nights/week and the program classes run from 9a-4p M-F. There would be no time to sleep between classes and work and certainly no time to study. And I know from going through the heart US class that it is a very intense program and there's just no way to keep up with everything if there is no time to study.
So, I've scrapped the going back to college full time this fall idea. I will, however, take a few classes here and there as time permits.

Job Update
Ok, so here's the scoop.....I need a job, at least while we work on getting ED up and running strong and while I'm in school....
I already have a degree in Cardiovascular Ultrasound. However, I did not sit for the registry exam and it's been 11 years since I've worked in the medical field. Soooo, I am going back to school for General Ultrasound and will audit a few cardio scanning classes during the semesters that I don't have a full load. BUT, I really need to work in the meantime because school will be a 3 year run.
So I've been submitting applications for CNA work to hold me over until I can work as an US Tech.
Yesterday I had an interview at a hospital and I'm pretty sure I have the job. The nurse I interviewed with would like for me to start monday (provided HR gets everything ready by then). Basically we're just waiting for HR to get everything together so I can start (background check, drug screening, reference check, etc). The job is mine once this is all done. I will be working the 7p-7a shift 3 nights/week and will have the option of picking up additional shifts if I choose. This shift works out perfectly for me with my 2 younger kids being in year round school. It means I won't have to pay out the nose for childcare when they're tracked out. My oldest son will be home early in the morning to get the little ones up and ready for school. I will be home in time to see them off. And of course you know I'll have to wind down before I can go to sleep so all my computer work will be done before going to bed. Since I'll only be working 3 days a week that still gives me time to work on ED and my studies.
See, I've got it all figured out. :-)

On a Personal Note.....
Ok, so my guys went hunting for new year and left me home alone with the 2 little ones. No big deal. The little ones and I went to church and had a blast playing games, eating and spending time with our church family. Oh yeah, the big guys did stop by the church just long enough to eat with us. LOL
Soooo, my 16 year old got a deer this weekend. Being that this is the first hunting season he and his dad have had and this was his first "kill" he was so excited. THEN they inform me that there is going to be a dead deer hanging in my garage. As if THAT wasn't bad enough, they get home and then inform me that there is a dead SKINNED deer hanging in my garage. Great, I had invited a couple friends over for stamping saturday.....NOT going to happen now that I know my guys will be out there cutting up a dead deer. NOT a site I want my stampin' friends to pull into my driveway and witness. LOL So I made every effort to avoid the garage while this deer was hanging out there. But don't you know I got a glimpse of it anyway. Oh how gross. I felt so bad for that poor deer and now hubby expects me to actually cook and eat this meat????? I am not so sure about this. But now that we have a freezer full of deer meat I suppose I'm not going to have much of a choice.......I wonder if I can just convince my guys to just have one of my meal shakes instead. LOL That's not going to happen. I can say this though, if I had known my husband would look so darned good in cammies I would have been buying them for him for the last 19 years. LOL But, he's still his grouchy self.....he looks real hot but still a grouchy old man. LOL Gotta love him.
Now, I'm off for my job interview this morning. I'm not sure how I feel about this whole working outside the home thing. But I suppose I need to just get used to it. LOL
