      Bye Bye Brucie :(

      Today is pretty sad...I just saw on tv (and now during a tv conference) that the U of I has fired Bruce Weber :(.  They had an extremely difficult season but it is still so hard to watch Bruce Weber reading his "good bye letter", especially when he cries.  :(  He just also announced that he is going to auction off all of his orange ties with the proceeds going to Coaches vs. Cancer which shows how classy of a man he is but I do wonder if he is wanting to get rid of them because just maybe he is a bit bitter of being let go.  I still like the man though no matter what and I cried along with him and his family. :(

      Just so hard to say goodbye...

      This really will be short and sweet just because I have so many thoughts that if I were to actually type everything out, well, I'd be late for work.....

      I accepted the job at St. Mary's Hospital.  It is something that I've been looking for, or at least it fit the idea of what I thought of.  It is close to home and I work 3 days a week, with a guaranteed every other weekend off.  They are 12 hour shifts which won't be an issue.  Tyler and I are trying to find a decent daycare that will take care of Ethan and help teach him different things he is to be learning while Mommy and Daddy are at work.  The place that we like is also close to home, but a little on the expensive side, but we are going to try and see if it would fit into our budget.  The only down side is the fact that the place closes at 6pm and that is when I would be getting off from work :/.

      Step one in my leaving McDonalds really begins tomorrow as I made sure to let my supervisor know that I had put in my 2 weeks notice and she said that she wants to talk to me.  I am not sure how I will feel during this "talk" which I hope just kind of happens throughout the days as opposed to sitting me down at the end of the day because once I get all of my things done, I have to leave so Tyler can get to work on time.  I do know that I don't want to cry, I might, but who knows...I also know that I don't want them to try to talk me out of it as I have already accepted the job at St. Mary's but I secretly hope that they will miss the crap out of me. 

      I just know that right now my heart is just racing in anticipation of tomorrow and hopes that it goes by SUPER QUICK!

      In A State Of Mourning...

      Okay, where to start...

      Well alot has happened in the last few days to write about and I could just go on and on about it all but this post could even be one of the shortest, just maybe...

      Yesterday was my big interview at St. Mary's hospital that I somehow managed to only tell one person about at McDonalds (and that is only because his mom was in my CNA class at Richland).  I would also like to add that this was also the shortest interview that I have ever had for anything, which normally (to me) would be a horrible sign except for the fact that it ended with the head RN of the floor (who did my interview) saying things like "I want to hire you now" and "How much notice do you need to give your current job?".  This is such an exciting time for me right now, but yet my stomach is still in knots...a flurry of butterflies because I know that this is a step towards my future, but knowing that someone...somewhere is going to be disappointed makes me pretty sad.  I have to do what is right for me (and well my family) even though it may be difficult.  I looked for a bit of guidance and read psalm 25 and it was pretty good.

      Today, Tyler and I were both off work!  In the morning, TK went to go donate some plasma and Ethan and I went to get a car wash and walked around WalMart for a bit before going home to nap.  I knew that after I laid Ethan down that I was going to at least lay down in bed, but the very next thing I knew...it was 2pm!!!  We both had slept for 3 1/2 hours...I guess we needed it! 

      Tyler had made a run to the firehouse for something and when he got back, he picked us up and we went to check out Kids Castle in Decatur (the one that is right by Ruby Tuesday).  We both wanted something a little more permanent for Ethan rather than running him all over the place and hoping someone is available to watch him.  The only negative thing about Kids Castle is that they close at 6pm and I am off work (now) at about 6pm.  Again, something we will have to pray about. 

      Last thing is putting me in a state of mourning and I may even wear black tomorrow...
      The Indianapolis Colts are going to release Peyton Manning as of the middle of March...I mean come on!  The man is THE Colts team and he is worth EVERY PENNY.  All I have to say now is "Good LUCK because it sure will be different with a rookie throwing to those amazing vets that are still on Peyton's team."
