Today is a Terrific Tuesday!!
Hi everyone! 
I hope that you are having a terrific Tuesday so far! I sure am, I got to sleep late today and I wasn't woke up with any annoying phone calls or anything!!
I hope that you are having a terrific Tuesday so far! I sure am, I got to sleep late today and I wasn't woke up with any annoying phone calls or anything!! That makes me so happy! I'm feeling great, the scales gods are being good to me for a change and I'm excited about the fact that I'm gonna go to Wal-Mart today and buy the DVD I've been waiting for to come out- Pan's Labyrinth! I'm so excited to see that movie, I'm buying the double disc set!! I'm just in such a good mood!! 
I had a great Mother's Day weekend. I got to see my mom of course since she lives with us (in our backyard in her "cottage")- and we went and seen my Granny (my moms mom) and me and my hubby and son went to see his mom (my MIL) and I took a lot of pics. I'll post a couple in my EP album.
I did really great eating-wise this weekend, I could have derailed horribly, but I stayed determined and the scales is pretty much giving me a pat on the back as of this morning. I've increased my water intake and I think that's one thing that's helping me. I tend to swell in the summer with the extra heat, I'm even swollen this morning because I can tell by the way my rings look and by how they fit. But usually after about an hour or two of being up and awake the swelling goes away and my rings are loose like normal once again. I guess I'm just the type of person who swells no matter how much water I'm drinking, but it's ok, it goes away anyway.
I'm no longer walking funny due to my big toe. *LOL* I am so proud of the fact I'm not hobbling around the house and yard any longer. Now my toe is just a tiny bit tender, I even wore my All Star tennis shoes the other day and I didn't have any pain or problems.
Ohh, I have a question that some of you might be able to answer. I'm interested in becoming a Phlebotomist and I was wondering if any of you out there have this as a job and what you think about it. If you knew then what you know now, would you still go through the training to become one, or would you choose something different? How long did your traing last? Was it very hard or just a little hard to learn it?
I always like to ask people opinions about their jobs, to see if they are happy in their choices.
I'm pretty sure you don't know this about me so I'll tell ya. I'm terrified of meeting new people
- well, that's not 100% true, I'm terrified of meeting people in the education scene / work scene... I get very nervous, and I start feeling like I'm really not smart enough to be there or I shouldn't be thinking about learning anything new at my age because I'm just not "gonna get it"

I get very nervous, and I start feeling like I'm really not smart enough to be there or I shouldn't be thinking about learning anything new at my age because I'm just not "gonna get it" -- Yes, I know, I have a very low self-esteem but I always try and think positively, but it's really hard.
I've been thinking about going back to school and doing something in the medical field that doesn't take up 5 years of my life trying to learn it. I have not made any decisions yet about anything.
I've also just thought about getting a job in a hospital or even joining a "janitorial" company and cleaning stores and office buildings when they are closed. I swear-- my ideal job would be cleaning at one of my local hospitals, whether it be patients rooms or cleaning the public bathrooms and lobby and hallways etc...
I know a lot of you are thinking " Why on earth would you wanna clean lobbies, or public bathrooms?" 
And the short answer is, it wouldn't bother me a bit, I'd be working on my own (no one hovering over me) and I wouldn't have to go back to school to learn anything new.
I'm just afraid if I went and took a class I'd get there and after paying for the course I'd realize that I just simply don't have the brains to keep up with the rest of the class, and I'd feel like I would fail... And I don't want to waste money or time, if it's something I'm not going to be able to do.. As you can probably tell, I'm confused and I'm just undecided right now about what I want to do.
But I do know that I'd like to have a little extra money coming in and I think if I could maybe get a 3rd shift cleaning job that would be awesome for me and my family. I'd be working while they were sleeping and I'd come home, sleep a bit and be able to see them every day. A win win situation in my eyes.
Ok, so there you have it, I'm confused, excited, and just feel kinda giddy at the excitement of going back to work after 14 years of being at home... 
I'm sorry this was such a long and rambling post, I tend to do that when I'm excited and feeling scatterbrained. I hope you make the best of today and I hope that you use it to get closer to your goal. Have a great day everyone!!
