Maggie-doodle-dandy

I just realized that I haven't graced this page lately with my little Maggie's face. Isn't she precious? I just love out little dog.

This has been a great week. Nothing exciting has happend, but all is well here at the Delehoy home. I must say again though that I have a wonderful husband. He's always helping me, and if I get up to do something then he's right on my heels so he can help me out. It's been very nice having his help and his love too :) I married a good one.

You know what question I'm tired of hearing when people find out I'm pregnant? I'm tired of being asked.....Ohhhh, was it planned? Why is that anyone's business and who is so bold to ask such a thing? We're married adults. I never think to ask that when I find out someone's pregnant b/c who really cares? Babies are a blessing and a joy. I'm the ype of person who wants to know when you're due, if you have have names picked out yet, if you've started shopping for the nursery.........not if the baby was planned.

I have another pet peeve I'd like to talk about.....Ummmm, common courtesy says you don't call after 9pm, correct? Now, if it's family then that's fine b/c that's different. Last night I got to bed early for me, at 10pm, and I was woken up twice by a ringing phone. I was so upset b/c if I'm just falling asleep when something wakes me up...it's so hard for me to fall back asleep. I just know that once this little peanut is here, I won't be having any of that. Mama will need her sleep!

Ya know, I really would love doing hair if there was more money in it. Since I've gone down to 2 days a week, I've been booked with requests, my payroll is better b/c I'm not having any down time, and I've just really enjoyed seeing my clients that I know so well. I never thought I would miss that place when it's time to leave, whenever that may be, but I think I will b/c I've enjoyed the past couple weeks. My body sure does hurt though when I leave. I'm really starting to get bad back pain by the end of my shift.....It's ok though, I'll just enjoy my time while I'm there b/c I should just be thankful that I have a job.

After a long talk with Jeff and my mom, I'm going to have to withdraw this semester from school and start over again in the summer and fall with web classes. After I registered my advisor then told me about the Nurse's Aide certification that I need before I can start clinicals, and then he gave me the name and number of the company to call where I can go and take classes and to some practical work and get my certification. I contacted this place and it's from 8am-5pm, Mon-Fri for 3 weeks. I thought wow, that's a lot of time, but I'll get it done after the baby's here.....I need it done now. I had been thinking about it and I realized.....the longer I wait to get that, the longer it'll take me to start clinicals, and that certification is more important b/c there's such a waiting list. If I want till falll to get it when I'll have the time, it'll push my clinicals back a good 2 years or more. So, I need to take a break and get it done now. I wish my advisor would have pushed that before I registered, but I guess when you work for the college you want to do whatever will get the college more money. It's been a hard decision, but I can't get behind on clinicals. They're too important to just let it go and let it go. I think I'm going to pick up info this coming week too on Brown Mackie college b/c I know a lot of girls who have gotten their LPN there b/c they don't have the waiting list for clinical, and you go all year and you're done in 18 months and you take one class a month. I'm thinking that sounds like a better program just b/c of the waiting list. That's a critical factor. I always wondered why girls didn't want to go to Owens for nursing and now I get it. The wait is crazy! I think if I was 18 or 19 and was just out of high school then I would care, but I'm at a point where I just want it done and I don't have time to sit around and wait.

I must also add that I am absessed with Walk The Line. I've seen it 3 or 4 times. I love Joaquin, I love Reese. They did an amazing job. I think I just love the singing and I picture myself up on stage performing like that. That's been my dream since I was a little girl, being a singer......dancer/actress/figure skating-gymnist. It's just a great movie. At myspace.com/cararaed I even added their song Jackson to my page. I just recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it and let me tell you that I will be buying it on DVD tues!

I'm going to head on out for the night. I think I'll sit in a warm bath and relax and then get some good sleep before my long day of work ahead of me tomorrow. I love you all so much and I hope you have a wonderful weekend :)
