Better Days Ahead.....

So, it's a new day. The test is over. The weekend approaches. I think I'll make it through another minute, another hour, another day.....

I'm working at day care today. There is nothing as sweet as being loved by children - even when they are not your own. Play-doh, popcorn, outside time, lunch, nap time (my fave!) - the day cruises by with lots of smiles, some cries, and lots of laughs. I wipe noses, sweep up leaves, and chase the baby - a naughty little girl with trouble in her veins. She's fast, but she loves to be held and I love to hold. My little girl gives me big smoochie kisses and makes me so very proud. My big boy is at school - growing up so very fast. Yep, life is alright.

I'm still exhausted and have a bit of school left, but I can deal. The sun is shining and belies the early December date on the calendar. I have lots of knitting to finish, a couple of gifts to buy and I have to get the kids' pictures taken. If you never gone to JC Penny or Sears to have your kids' pictures taken, I can only say it rivals Chinese water torture in pain and duration. I am avoiding it like the plague but Grandma keeps nagging and I'll have to get it done this weekend. Wish me luck!

I'm off to study - 3 quarters of anatomy and physiology - the last 10 months of my life - in one final next week. INSANE. That's a pretty good word for it. More fine print in my pursuit of my nursing degree. Fucking details.

One last thought - I had a great dream the other night about Gordon Ramsey - the Hell's Kitchen chef. Oooh, I've got a ridiculous crush on him. Don't judge me - I've got a thing for the perfectionists, the assholes, the odd balls, the nerds, even.

Kisses!
