Finally a new post

WOW where does the time go? I cant believe my last post was in March! I have been super busy with...life! I am enrolled in school again. Finally decided to get serious and do what I have to do to become an RN. I love to help and take care of people. Guess thats why I have 5 kids huh? LOL My goal is to become a labor and delivery nurse and a lactation consultant. I am horrible with other languages, but speak with my hands ALOT, so figured I will learn sign language. I think thats a pretty cool combination.

My son is now stationed in North Carolina and wont be deployed to Afghanistan until September of 2010. My grandson will be 4 months old in a few days and my own baby will be one year old next month! Yes, time flies!

I haven't had much time for blogging, sewing, or even taking care of myself. I recently had a consultation to see if I could have the lap band so I could lose all this extra weight I am carrying around. I was told that I do not qualify to have the surgery at this time because I dont have any co-morbidity problems. I cried and cried. Oh, I wanted that surgery so I could lose this weight. But I guess its time to make some lifestyle changes and seriously make the effort to lose all 90 pounds on my own. Yes, I said 90 pounds! Thats like the weight of my 4 and 5 year old combined! Heck, I might as well be carrying them around in my arms all day every day. Oh my gosh, I never thought of it like that.

Well, if you dont hear from me again for a long long time, just know that I am working on ME. Wish me luck and say lots of prayers for me. I need all the support I can get.

Until next time,
take care and may God bless you and your family as he has done for me and mine.

Hugs,
Crystal
