Where's My Yield Sign? ....

I haven't written in sooo long ... and I apologize to those that actually look forward to me posting ... okay maybe nobody does ... maybe you all do ... I don't know ...

But, life has been insanely busy ... I want to know where the yield sign on life is right now ... just let everything kind of slow down a bit ... in March and April I was really busy with spring break and then the start of a new job ...

I am working now at an Alzheimer's Center .... which is both rewarding and extremely hard ... I think I would rather die in pain or slowly lose the use of my physical body than to lose my mind the way my poor residents have ... it is an extremely sad disease ... that nobody should have to live with either from the inside or as a family member from the outside looking in ... I work two 12 hour nights from 6pm to 6am and I do work my butt off for those 24 hours a week ... but I adjusted really quickly to the schedule because when I started the job my kids were with my ex for a few weeks, so I adjusted really quickly to sleeping during the day and being awake at night and
then the kids came back, and I was getting a little less sleep, but was maintaining the schedule, but then came a week full of daytime school events and I readjusted for daytime and haven't felt rested since ....

On May 27th, my baby boy graduated from Kindergarten in a bittersweet moment for me ... he is the youngest and possibly last of my kids, so all his milestones hit me harder than they did with the girls ... so I was on an emotional roller coaster for a few days, on top of being sleep deprived ....

A few days after that I helped my boyfriend move back to the metro area where I live ... after living 130 miles apart for almost a year ... the 30 miles that lay between us now doesn't seem too bad ... he is very busy with his own life of taking care of ailing grandparents and their house ... he is so busy all the time and he doesn't get much of a paycheck ... but at least we get to see each other more often now ...

Then on June 6 I started school again ... going for my nursing pre-requisites again/still ... I picked one really hard class to take in a summer session but so far so good, I've gotten A's on everything so far and some extra credit too, so I should be okay as the semester takes on ...

I have thought of a million things to blog about lately, but have had little to no time to take time for me (which is what blog time is ... "me time") ... but I will try to find more time over the next few days/weeks/months ...

If it makes y'all feel better about me not blogging ... I haven't played WoW since April 29th ... I've played on the XBox maybe five or six times in that same period ... and I just touched all my Zynga stuff today for the first time since probably the beginning of April ... so I have definitely been busy ... lol ... 

Maybe I'll find my yield sign for life somewhere ... but I doubt it ...
