I do it to myself. I know I do. And that fact alone makes it all just sadder. Ever have a day where you have a list that needs to get done and you get it done all the while adding to the list? For instance.. today I had to wash clothes, clean the kitchen, clean the bathrooms and iron. So, I did all that. The whole time I'm doing that I'm thinking I really need to go through the kids toys.. they have so many broken toys, toys they don't use, toys they are too old for, etc. Then I think.. well I need to go through their closets and weed out the out grown clothes. Well.. I need to go through my own closet and weed out the old clothes, etc. Well.. I just need to fall clean. So off I go to make a list to start my falling cleaning. THEN on top of all that I think, I really need to call the college and get with someone so they can tell me what courses I need to take, what tests I need to take to place me in the appropriate classes, etc. THEN I think I need to make a list for grocery shopping.. and I need to go grocery shopping this afternoon. THEN I think, I need to rearrange the stuff in the kitchen cabinets and pantry.. just put it on the fall cleaning list.... I'm thinking all this within seconds of each other... it's really crazy. I HATE, HATE, HATE doing this. HATE.IT!!!!! I honestly feel like I'm slowing being wrapped up from my toes to my head until I can't breathe. The sad part about all of this is the fact that once I do it all.. there will be something else to do as well. The day of a mother never, ever ends. Never.
So to fall cleaning.. I made my list. I plan to slowly get it done when I can. Since Kent will be away for 2 weeks I guess I'll do it then. I also have consignment to do as well. This may be the last time I do it, I just can't see doing it once I start back to school. My plate is already full as it is.. adding school to do is just going to make it all the more full.. I'll manage.. always do.
In regards to school stuff.. I'm overwhelmed. Just being honest. It seems harder to go back to school than it does to just start school. You know? I got my transcripts from my previous school, so all I need to do now is get in touch with an advisor with the school and see what I need to do. I was told actually getting into the nursing program can be quite hard. Because there are so many applicants but not enough teachers, so they can only take X-amount of students. And for the RN program you can only apply once a year. I hope when I do apply that I will be accepted. That would make it a lot easier because I can just get it started. Once I'm started I know it will flow a lot easier.. but right now I just feel like I'm treading water. Ah well.. enough of my griping.

Kinda sounds like you have a classic case of adult attention deficit disorder. I have it, and somedays it's hard to get anything completed because I've started so many things. And too, my mind is like a freakin' TV with someone constantly changing the channels.

PS: about school: 1) God's on your side and He can place you in nursing school, just ask him; and 2) sometimes the squeaky wheel gets the oil, so talk to the advisor, the professors, the academic secretary for the department (who can be a REAL help).
Hey Em, for school, let me give you a tip......Make an appt. to talk to an advisor in the Nursing Department.....not just a regular advisor for the school. The regular advisors are not always up to date with the Nursing Program as they often make changes, and getting the wrong info can set you back. I saw that happen to a few people. After you get all the correct info and know what you need to do, you just take everything one day at a time. It's overwhelming because there is a lot to get done before you can start the program, but as long as you take things slowly and one by one you will be fine. You can always email me if you have any questions!
