Battle Zone!

It feels as if my house is a battle zone! LOL. I know that sounds crazy but the boys are constantly fighting and screaming and/or arguing! Its horrible!! I just want to know when they will grow out of it...haha...never I know, right? It is so tiring and is so hard to stay positive when every other second I am breaking up fights or sending someone to timeout. I love the innocence of there ages right now (3, 2) but honestly can't wait for them to get a little bit bigger so they understand right from wrong a little better. Even with all the constant drama from the kids, I am so thankful to have them here and am not trying to sound like I am being a downer, lol, just venting I guess. They are so smart, lovable, and the sweet things they come up with makes all the drama worth it :) I just can't wait til I don't have to intervene every two seconds when they are playing!

The Secrets Out!

I know I officially announced on facebook my change in jobs but I haven't been able to really discuss it much yet until recently. I have accepted the position as the Occupational Health Nurse for the John Deere Foundry in Waterloo! I am so excited. It is still weekend option (which, hello, saves me tons on daycare!) and with the change in hours I will be home even more on the weekends. Right now I work 7a-7:30p Sat and Sun. So I see the boys Friday night and maybe 15 minutes Sat and Sun because I leave before they are up and they go to bed at 8pm and I don't even get home until around then. With this new job I work Friday night and Saturday night 10:30p-11am. So, I dont have to leave for work until the boys are in bed Friday night, and I plan on staying at my parents in Waterloo to sleep Saturday during the day (because I don't see the boys anyways now on Saturdays, they won't know the difference) and then Sunday after work I will go back to my parents and nap for a few hours and then I should be home by 1 or 2 Sunday afternoon and then I will go to bed normally Sunday night. Sundays are like my favorite day so I am excited to be able to have some family time now once I am home! Plus this new job helps pay my last three semesters of my post masters certificate for my nurse practitioner degree! They are all so nice and I am starting on the job training this week. My last weekend at Mercy is next weekend as well! I will have a few weeks of training before I go back to weekends so I will even have a few weekends off while training which I am so excited about! My new boss and coworkers seem amazing and I am so excited to be working in occupational health, something that always interested me and an area where I could see using my Nurse Practitioner liscence. I think this will be a great learning experience and a nice change of pace. It sucks I have to commute, but really its only like twice a week which isn't that big a of a deal to me. Plus, it is making my family proud to have me work for John Deeres lol, but in realty I am an Allen Hospital employee who is contracted by J.D. :) The other perk... for every five weekends I work, I get a weekend off, yay! Right now, I get two weekends off every six months , yuck. I am staying prn (work as needed) at Mercy in my department because I really do love what I do, but I am so excited for a change. Maybe I will actually see some people I know at the foundry? Heres to a new beginning!

Still Here!

Oh my, first of all I can't believe how long its been since I posted! I will say though, I am a very regular reader of everyone elses blogs and really love being able to stay caught up with everyone, I just don't have much to say. Second of all, I am really irritated with this design of the blog and am having a heck of a time changing it out, so bare with me if things look crazy for a bit. So I promise, I will be back with a full post very very soon, I have lots in the works right now but just don't have the time for a full catch up quite yet.
