career change...according to a 5 year old

"meeting" with program director this morning. went about like i thought it would, but not like i hoped. seems staying home to take care of a family and not using your nursing license causes a problem when you want to go back to school. i need 1000 hours of clinical work within the last 24 months. and i have been home for 18 of those 24. doesn't sound like too much but when you do the math, it is a LOT. not to mention when i talked to my acquaintance last week about my new career path she was not at all optomistic. at least not if we want to stay in this area of the country. great. now on to plan b. not sure what that is yet...still working on it & getting frustrated. as we were on our way home, and i was about to cry, little man says, in a very sweet little voice, "mom, how was your meeting this morning?" (loved that he even remembered to ask) & as we were talking about it he said "you can always be a car destroyer" "what?" "you know, when somebody doesn't want their car anymore you smash it". sounds like a good career change to me but for now i think i'm back to wildlife rescuer. as i have to go release a (live) frog he has in a ziploc bag. he says he isn't tough enough to let it go because he cares too much about creatures. poor frog.

  1. Bless your heart. I got your message... Well, plan B,C, or D will hopfully be more than you hoped & prayed for. I know God is pleased with you. . . and he may have you right where you are. . .but I know our desires, are his desires; the Bible says so. . .

    "Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him…" (Psalm 37:5-7a, NIV).

    Hang in there, and keep digging. I know it will work out. You are way to smart for it not to.

    I love you friend.
