Another road block

I received a letter in the mail today from St. Kate's stating that Brown had rejected my request for my transcripts due to a hold on my account. I had cleared this up and have an email stating that it was released. Darn it. I'm not sure what I am supposed to do so I emailed the woman that sent me this email (the one saying that I could get them) to see what is going on. Hope that she will get back to me soon.
Also, I didn't stop soda all together. Although I have cut down dramatically. I am down to maybe a half of one a day. I only drink it when I am home. Not at work. Weird. I don't drink enough of anything else so I feel a little parched when I get home. I've taken a liking to crystal light though. The punch kind. Nothing like soda though. LOL.
Hope that this will all pull together soon.

Week three

On Monday I went and got my high school transcripts. I still have to send them in but I'm getting there. :)
Today was my first full day without soda. I popped a couple of ibuprofen this afternoon to reduce the risk of a migraine. I hate those. I am not going back. The only thing is though is what to drink instead. I'm not sure what to replace it with since I don't care much for plain water.
I guess that's about it so far. Things are starting to get better. I am going to see what I can find for a pharmacy tech position in other Target's. Something better than what I am doing now. Hope to find something. Maybe even do my CNA, I have to have it anyways to get into the nursing program at St. Kate's. What to do.. what to do. Let's just concentrate on what I have going right now. I think to far ahead and I will get lost. Ha. Maybe next week I will deal with that.
I am going to bed.

I guess we will call this week: 2

This week so far has been adventurous. A little bit of good and a little bit of bad.
I contacted St. Kate's and applied. I requested my transcripts from Brown to be sent over there. I also have to have my high school ones sent also. I will be sending out for those tomorrow. Getting the ball rolling. I'm excited with anticipation to see if it will happen at all.
Yesterday, I got a call from Katie's school saying that she qualified for full day free kindergarten. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Good because she will get more education and more social experience. Bad, because of the "testing" that she had to go threw to get to this. She didn't do very well on her kindergarten entrance testing. But the thing that gets me, is that she knows everything that they tested her on. She just doesn't like to perform. I've done the same things with her and she can do it. I don't know. I will go with that this is a good thing. Maybe it's happening like this so that I can go to school? I don't know.
Robert came home and was just as happy to see us as we were to see him. It was so cute. Katie and I were waiting for him to come home (he rode the train because the baby was sleeping) and when she saw him come from between the fence, she ran to him. He started running toward her and picked her up. It was just so cute. I got tears in my eyes. I have them now just thinking about it.
Well. Next on the list is to get my high school transcripts sent over there. And then wait to hear something from St. Kate's. Next week, I will start working on another thing that I is on my list to quit.
Wish me luck! I can use all of it I can get!

New Beginnings. Day 1.

For while, I've been thinking about what I'm going to do. To make everything better. Not just for me but for everyone involved in my life.
Today I got information from St. Kate's. I am going to call them on Monday and start the road to getting my RN. It's going to be a long road but so worth being able to provide so much more for my babies. A house. A safer ride. Vacations. Actually getting the things they need. The options are endless.
I never thought that my life was going to be where it is today. I didn't know that I was going to be a divorcee. I didn't know that I was going to meet someone that loved my children as much as he loved me. I didn't know that I was going to move to Phoenix, and then move back. I wish that I had that GPS to show me where my life was going to be in 5 years. 10 years. 20 years. So that maybe, I could do something different today, to make it better then.
It's so crazy. The questions that I have going threw my mind. It's scary. Am I going to be the oldest lady there? Am I going to be able to make it threw it this time? Am I going to be able to work, go to school and be a mom? Scared. Yes. Nervous. Yes. Doing it. For sure.
Today is the day that I start to quit Target and start my new life.
