Back to School
The alarm went off way too early and after checking for school closures (It snowed last night) I began the wake up routine. Magen has basketball practice at 7:00 and so she is first to get up at 6:00. While she gets ready I start making lunches and then wake Cameron up so that Steve can drop him off at school on the way to work. Finally Mackenzie and Ryan get the wake up call at 7:00. It is now 8:00 and everyone is gone, the vacation is officially over.
I briefly contemplated a morning run but the roads are still really slushy (I am a fair weather runner). Instead I decided to write a few words before I head out for my first day of nursing school. This is the day that I have been working towards for three years. I am very excited and a bit nervous, at an orientation several weeks ago the first quarter of the program was compared to boot camp, ouch! Despite that I am ready to get started.
My goal for the new year is to maintain balance. I have a tendency to get tunnel vision when it comes to school. I know the program will be challenging but I want it to be as enjoyable as possible not only for me but for my family. I will do my best to take care of myself physically, spiritually and emotionally. I will try to exercise often, read my scriptures daily and above all spend time enjoying my family.

You are a very busy lady! I admire you for your goals and know you can do it! Good luck with finding balance. Just remember......you are not perfect, and nobody expects you to be. Just do the best you can and all will fall into place!
