Decided and sick

I did all of my thinking about cosmetology and decided I was going to do it! Then my childcare fell though, so that decision really made itself. It must be God telling me to not take Mackenzie out of school.

So, I have put in a few applications for part time work just to get some much needed adult time. Now, it's time to wait and see how all of that pans out. At least I can work around Mackenzie's school.

Today I'm just now getting over this nasty sinus cold and cough. It's nice because I'm feeling better, but Cameron's got it horribly. I'm constantly wiping his nose, he's sneezing like crazy and he can't have his binky to sleep because he can't breath :( Poor guy. It's seem, as well, that it's trying to get Mackenzie as well but she's fighting like crazy. I really hope she doesn't get it, but who knows.

I'm not going to my Mary Kay meeting tonight because Cameron is sick and so is Grandma Shelly (Marty's mom), and she usually babysits on Monday evenings. Hopefully staying home and out of the chill will get these kids healthy so they'll be ready for trick-or-treating in a week!

Every year at Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, they have the Zoo Boo. You get to see the animals that are still out, ride the train and do the trick-or-treat trail. It's a lot of fun for the kids. We took them for the first time this year, and Mackenzie had a blast! Mackenzie is Cinderella this year, and Cameron is a cute little monkey! I can't wait for Halloween this year, she's going to have so much fun!

A lot to think about

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately. Like a lot of people, it's tough to pay everything and still have anything left over to enjoy later. Also, I want to work, but without being able to finish my nursing classes because of the waiting list, I can't get a decent job that pays for daycare plus more money to pay the bills. So I've been looking into other things with less schooling and decent pay.

I have found...cosmetology. I've visited a couple campuses in town and got a lot of information on both programs. If I decide to try this field, and of course finish nursing once I'm accepted, I have the choice of one of those schools. The other school does not accept student loans. However, I liked all things about this school better, tuition is just more expensive.

So now I have choices to make. Kind of exciting to try something that's completely different from everything else I've done. It makes me nervous though, it's completely new! I'm not a perfectionist, I'm just very competitive. I want you to do well for yourself, but I feel like I have to do it better than you :)

I'm gonna take a couple days to think about my decision, but at this point, I'm leading more towards doing it!
