Personal:

I was a single mom.  Two times over.  We all survived, despite the fact that I make atrocious decisions.  Then, I met a man I didn't deserve.  And he loves me so much.  And I love him. We lived in sin and bought a house for two years then hired a judge and officially got married(to our great delight and also the delight of our mothers), then a month later he was diagnosed with cancer.  Well we survived all that and he's 100% fine now.  But, we're really out of shape and really busy with kids and jobs and running just isn't my priority and there's so many other layers to all of it, but I'm running anyway.  This is my failure blog now.  Just to log that one run a week if I snag it.  
Somehow that matters and I want that run recorded.

Tracy--after clinicals I study like crazy for the NCLEX which is the nursing boards and hopefully I take it and pass it in early January and then find a new job as a nurse!

Now that is so going to happen (Passing). Its no fun studying and worrying though. At least it is shorter these days. When I took it in 1993 it was a two day thing on paper. They were just doing studies on the comptuter test so a handful of students in my class got to take it that way. I think the results get back sooner too. It took 6 weeks for mine. Which area do you want to work in?
