do the next good thing ( a life update)

 

 

1. i am seriously bummed that there is no snow in our part of wisconsin, yet.

i mean...really.

what is going on here?

i demand a white christmas, okay?

speaking of christmas...

i've decided to embrace the "it's not ALL about the presents" theme this year,

especially,

with my girls.

i am hoping they catch on.

 

2. this has been such a busy week!

you may or may not know,

that i am in school to get my nursing degree.

i met with my advisor a few days ago

and basically found out that i have a good

3-4 years of school ahead of me before i am an RN

(thats WITH summer school, folks...)

its HARD being a mom, working, and taking classes,

so i can only really do 6-9 credits a semester.

i got discouraged and called my mom,

then i called my dad,

then i talked to my husband,

and they all said

"STICK WITH IT!"

so, i am.

 

3. i got an extra job...

30 hrs a week waitressing...

i am sure you are wondering,

why?

to be TOTALLY honest... 

it's not wedding season... = "slower" season...

and there are these things that come in the mail,

in little white envelopes...

called...

BILLS!

so, a moms gotta do what a moms gotta do....

instead of being crabby about it

i am excited about it!

i have always loved waitressing

and the people you get to talk to,

the running around,

the energy of a really fun, busy restuarant, like this one is...

i am a naturally busy, energetic person

and this gives me something good to do with my energy :)

so, will i quit my job in a few months

when wedding season rolls around?

we'll see...

but i kind of doubt it.

 

4. my sister and i are obsessed with a singer

we found on youtube...

lana del rey...

i have been listening to her a ton....

love!

 

5. i want to encourage you out there...

sometimes, life takes us on these twists and turns...

and instead of being scared,

instead of saying

"ummmmm....this wasn't MY plan, God....."

i have found that going with the flow,

giving every day a fresh start,

and having a positive, clear mind...

these things keep me sane in this hectic lifestyle.

do the next good thing.

sometimes i wonder,

what to do about a certain situation...

or in my life...

and i am reminded of a great life principle.

just...

DO THE NEXT GOOD THING.

just plug away,

just keep going,

hard work pays off in the end.

by the way....
