Mommy, Fiance,Student, and Employee!!??

YES!!! IT IS POSSIBLE!!! I am in my second semester of Nursing school working part time as a Pregnancy Case Manager and being a mom and Fiance. Yes, most of the time I would like to shoot myself, but I am managing better than even I expected. So for those of you out there that are debating whether you can do it or not, let me just say YOU CAN! sure it is tough. I will not lie to you. But is it worth it? YOU BET IT IS! With my daughter I am mom. With my patients I am a counselor, and in school I am ME! I get to ask questions, and learn and be the newbie, not the one that answers the questions. I am learning something I never thought I could do and it is the best experience since my daughter was born! I love being a mom and a wife and I do love my job, but Nursing school has reminded me of who I used to be. I was always a good student and getting back into it, I still am. I have 2 semesters once this one is done and I cannot wait. Sure it is intense, sure I am stressed, sure sometimes we eat take out more than we should, but I AM LOVING IT! Find that one thing you excel at and are happy doing it and it changes you. It allows you work your butt off but you are happy while doing it. Go out there, explore, ask questions, find yourself. Mothers and wives are people too and the skills of every woman go beyond making dinner and doing ponytails. Do those make me happy. ABSOLUTELY. But so does achieving my goals, late night studying, and HW dates every Monday-Friday with my now 5 1/2 year old little girl. Adjustment is key. Human beings are designed to adjust. It takes time, but once you find that routine, it becomes you. You learn to juggle and prioritize and it makes you feel great! So go out there and do the impossible, because I bet you are stronger and can take on more than you ever imagined possible!

Beauty Guru!

I wish I could be a Youtube Beauty Guru! Their jobs look like so much fun! Plus they get to travel and they get free goodies from the brands that they review or advertise! It just looks like a cool job! I very frequently watch either makeup or style tutorials and find myself wanting to do the same! I follow a couple people and they are just so inspiring with what they do! I wonder how they started and how they got to where they are! Anyone out there with ideas or if you are out there doing the same thing, let me know!! I would love to take a part in helping others look and feel beautiful! From style and beauty to just being healthy and looking good!

Pay Day!

There is nothing I love more than Thursday night right after work and before payday! After such a horrible day I am sitting here sipping on my tea, writing a little something and watching a movie that I have had for YEARS, but have never watched! Time Travelers Wife. My hunny is playing a game, and my darling is asleep. Tomorrow we have a date at Ihop for Pancakes! Just me and my little one! It is becoming sort of a tradition for her and I. Every other Friday morning we have a breakfast date. I love it! Anyway, we shall be paying our favorite store, TARGET, a visit tomorrow! You know, just for some things we need haha. Maybe visit Ulta for a bit. :) Well sorry this post is so short! I had a long 13 hour shift! Hope everyone of you had a beautiful day and has a nice day tomorrow too!

Mommy Time

Mommy Time. Is there such a thing? YES! I try to make time at least once a day. It helps me keep in touch with myself, and not loose myself in the hurries and worries of the day. Right now my baby is fast asleep, after loosing a coin toss with daddy she is sleeping in her own bed, YES! Let me explain the coin toss. So she has been co sleeping with us since she was around 1 and a half. We cannot get her to stop. It is all my fault i must admit. For a while my hunny was working nights, so I would let my baby sleep with me! Well now he's on days and guess what... she still likes to keep mommy company! So daddy devised a plan. They toss a coin every night, tails she sleeps in her own bed, heads she gets to fall asleep in ours and then daddy transfers her to her own bed. So tonight she lost. So I am sitting here listening to the thunder a few miles away, or so it seems, while writing my second post today! I must admit I am getting kind of obsessed with these! Anyway, I am sipping on some Chamomile Tea, watching beauty tutorials on YouTube, my latest obsession, and writing my post. Who says I can't multitask! I feel really good after my tough work out and I am just about ready for bed. I have yet another 12 hour shift tomorrow that I always feel so guilty about! I hate leaving my little one. I feel like I am missing out on so much on those long days! But I love being able to have dates with her every Friday, and buy her what she needs whenever I like. I love being spontaneous with her and that requires some money! Hopefully once the Nursing Program is over it'll get easier! Well dolls! Thanks for reading! Wishing everyone a lovely night!
                                                                              

Rainy Wednesday

Doesn't everyone love rainy days!? I do! They make the world around me smell oh so good! This morning as my darling and I ate breakfast, it started to pour! Lightning and thunder and all. Such dramatic weather for a Wednesday morning I thought! My baby of course was a tiny bit frightened, but she even likes the rainy weather. She got to wear her raincoat and her little rain boots that have Hello Kitty on them ( she loves loves Hello Kitty)! She is such a little fashionista. I don't remember caring about what I wore at her age. It makes me laugh. People say I should be scared! Wait until she's a teenager they say! I try not to pay attention. She will turn out just like she is supposed to and how her Daddy and I help her turn out. Hopefully into a beautiful person inside and out!
Anyway about today, I went to work for what we like to call a "Princess Shift". Had the best day at work in a while. Worked with the Medical Director himself, but still managed to have an awesome day. Very well deserved after the day we had yesterday! Picked up my monkey, and now here I am writing a little before we head to the gym for a bit. Yes! The gym! Hopefully there is a good show on, so I can take my mind off the fact that I am working out! Ha! Have a nice afternoon everyone!

Waking up

Waking up is such a hard task most days! I would much rather sleep in with my little one than have to get up, get ready, and tackle the day. I am sure most of us feel that way some days. At this very moment I have just finished getting ready and I am debating the lunches to pack. Should I pack just fruit for me today? A frozen meal. 2!? Those are huge questions.  Depending on what I pack will be the type of attitude I will have during the day. Will I look forward to lunch or not? Will I go pick up something greasy because I didn't pack anything or whatever I packed sounds boring and nutritious? Will my hunny be satisfied or still hungry? Well my bloggers, off to tackle this twelve hour workday! Hope everyone has a fantastic Tuesday!

Life as a woman

Being a mom is everything anyone could ever want !! I absolutely love my daughter. She is THE biggest blessing of my life. She makes me laugh and smile every single minute of every single day, in between headaches and tons of tears of course! Being a mom is the most rewarding job, but also the most stressful! You hear most moms talk about their kids and unless you know the mom on a personal level, all you hear is, my wonderful kid, my wonderful life, my wonderful partner/husband! But you will never hear, unless you are a friend and she is venting, the other side of things. Life is tough sometimes! Hearing 100 million questions every single day followed by 3 million questions from the father drives me nuts sometimes! Do not get me wrong. I always encourage my baby to ask questions! It helps me raise a smart kid, but ten questions per minute has got to give more than just me, a slight head ache! I am am mom above anything, but I am also an employee, and a student! Yes call me crazy but I am doing it all! Well not all at once! I am a mom every single day. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I am a student! and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I am a Nurse Assistant. Crazy I know! So to juggle all that and my almost 5 year old little genius is tough. Oh and did I mention I am also trying to plan a wedding!? So yes, sometimes I get a little frustrated and need some alone time, and this is how I have decided to spend it! Talking to a world full of strangers! I guess I do sound pretty nuts lol. But really, it always helps me to read stories of other women walking in similar shoes as mine, not because it makes me happy that others have it rough too, but because its nice to know i am not the only one out there that isnt perfect and happy 100% of the time, even though I am very well aware I am blessed beyond belief and I am very grateful for that! So that is what I have decided to do. Write these few little blogs for those other moms out there feeling like they do too much, and one day they will maybe explode (hopefully not!), to let you know you guys are NOT ALONE!! I am also here! Juggling my world on my shoulders and I am here to show support! For all of us that want to do it all! It is worth it! After all, if not today when? We will only live once!
