When life hands you lemons....

I had an awesome night at work last night, other than getting puked on but as soon as I walked in the door it seemed like everything that could go wrong did.

I was petting Finnigan and he decided he wanted to headbutt me and split my lip open.  A half hour later and an ice cube the bleeding finally stopped.  Needless to say I have a nice hole in my lip and it hurts to eat (which is horrible for me since I love food).

A little later my mom and I were moving furniture and the dresser came onto my foot.  Hurt like a mother trucker but I kept moving stuff.

I decided to try and sleep and got 1.5 hours of sleep.  Its all good, new mothers survive on that all the time.  I figured I mise well not waste my day sleeping when its so nice out.

Later I treated my mom to lunch for helping me and we stopped by the fruit market on the way home.  I was unloading the cart and ended up smashing my finger in the cart.  An urgent care trip later, my finger was drained of blood and glued together (Im a chicken with stitches, something about that fish hook looking things).

So needless to say today has not been my day.  However, we can't have good days all the time.  I will go to bed early tonight, dust it off, and take the lemons that were handed to me today and make lemonade for tomorrow.

Too cool for School

"We don't need no education...."

I am not registered for fall classes for the first time in 24 years and I am lost.  All I have known for my life is going to school and I am kind of worried about not going.  It is going to be a big void in my life.  I am so used to going to school full time and working multiple jobs that I will need to find a hobby or something.

Of course I do have plans to become a Nursing professor so I need my masters but I do not know if that is what I want to do for sure yet, and I need more experience to be able to teach.  

Education may be the key to achieving a career, however, it is the experience that makes us valuable. You can learn all you want from the book, but if you cannot apply it in your career, it is pointless.  In so many professions, things are not black and white like the text in the book.  You have to critically think and use a process to figure something out.
