This is what I am thinking about doing, but of course that means about another 30,000 in debt. Time, stress, but I think I really want to do it. It would be through http://nursing.msu.edu/msnurse_courses.asp and it is all online. The only problem I have is that the courses are only available in specific semesters. I dont know if I could do it though. I would have to really apply myself. Now dont take me wrong, I aplied myself to nursing school but I didnt study or apply all I could have. I am sure if I had applied myself fully I could have gotten 4.0's but I did only what I needed to do to pass. Horrible isnt it? Anyway now would be different I have a good job that I work three days a week and pick up only if I want to so I would have time. Chuck is home to take care of Kaylee (+ one on the way), cleaning, cooking and I mean he is trying to get a job he has definetly applied but nothing at this point so now might be a good time to further my education? Oh and the appliying process and the stress of being accepted. I am just cant decide at this point I have lots of thinking to do.

On another note, nothing much is going on. Go figure right? Kaylee is doing good in school she has entered a reading "contest" at the public library, she reads books and then rights a short summary and at the end of the month she will be enetered into a drawing for a 50 dollar gift certificate. She is ecited she was the very first person to sign up yesterday. On the 17th of this month she has softball clinics, she has decided that she wants to play so we, me and Chuck, decided that it would be ok we are just worried about broken bones. She has had plenty of those already! We still have not told her about me being pregnant. Still scared that things wont work out. Things are going good my sugars were doing ok and now they are doing some pretty funky things like jumping up for no reason in the middle of the day when i hadn't eaten in 8 hours and then other times bottoming out over and over night or day. The 29th of this month I go down to Saginaw for a more "advanced" ultra sound my doctor says. It is one of those new 3-d ones. I am excited actually and they told me to ask for pictures so when I get them I will scan them in and post them. I am also excited because we will find out the sex of the baby! I cant wait, plus I will be 19weeks almost 20 then and then that means it is halfway through and hopefully that means less risk of problems. Right now you can not really tell I am preganat only when I am lying on my back with my shirt up. All my fat moves out of the way that way! I can feel it though meaning like a hardened rock in my gut that right now is causing me heart burn like crazy! No that is ok I dont mind. All that know me know that all I ever wanted was to get pregnant again. I have been thinking of starting to take weekly pictures to "show" my progress but I dont want to jinx anything! I like seeing what other people have done and how it shows the progress I think it is cute. Ok well I dont post often so I guess when I have an update on anything then I will so that is it!
