I have had a stressful spring. I've stressed over whether or not I would actually make it into the nursing program at school. I've stressed over what I would do with my children while I am in school if I DO make it into the program, as it begins in the summer. I've worried about what I would do with myself if I DIDN'T make it into the program. I've worried about the price of gas, the price of wheat, and whether or not we will have another car break down. I've worried about not having a 4.0 (I know, I know, I'm an over achiever, and I need to get over it....). I've worried that spring will never come, and I will never see my lawn again! I've worried that spring will come, and our lawn mowers aren't working to cut the grass. I've worried that my daughter will graduate from college and not know what to do with her life. I've worried that she will graduate and WILL know what to do with her life. I've wondered what will become of my sweet little boy who wants to join the Army National Guard this summer. I've worried what will become of my sweet little boys who only want to play video games. I've worried about what another daughter will do if she doesn't get financial aid, and what she will do if she can't find the right job this summer. I guess it all boils down to one thing: I'm a worrier!
But, life has gotten a little bit sweeter! Not easier, but sweeter, nonetheless. I made it into the nursing program! I have worried about my little boys, but (thank you President Bush) when we get our "stimulus package" later on I will be giving that to my daughter that needs a summer job. She will be the mommy for the summer. I get to have my boys watched by someone that I trust (and who, frankly, will probably do a better job at being a mom than I do! ;) REALLY, she is that great with those boys!), and she gets some of the money that she needs for school! I can do nothing about the price of gas, and nothing about the cost of wheat. BUT, we bought some food storage, and that lets us rest a little easier about the wheat. We just had another car break down, and it is some serious money to fix. BUT, we have a car to drive. We finally see the grass, but it's not growing enough to mow (maybe it is, but, for now, I refuse to acknowledge it! :D haha). So far, I have a 4.0. But, I've decided that there are more important things in life than an 'A' (I know....we'll see if I'm singing the same tune when I get a 3.8....)
All in all, life is great! My kids are healthy, my husband is healthy and has a good job. We have a nice home that we can afford. And.... I'M GOING TO COLLEGE!!!!!!!

OMG. I love you, you worry wart woman. It's a hereditary. I have done nearly the same. But I am glad to see you moving on from the 4.0 perfection thingy to all the way to a reasonable 3.8. GOOD GRIEF woman, yeeesshhhhh. What are we going to do with you?
Notice that I said that a 3.8 would be okay, but when it comes down to it, I'm not so sure! haha
You kill me! I love you anyway though! Now I know where I get my worry wart tendancies!
