It’s been awhile since we’ve had a Ricky story hasn’t it? Hush. I know it’s been awhile since we’ve had any stories round these parts. I can see your sarcastic little grin right through this computer screen. Okay…I can’t…but it made you feel creepy for a minute, didn’t it?
I needed to put something up in each of the kid’s bedrooms tonight. I went to get my power tools. Okay…it was a drill…but it makes that whirring sound when I press on it…so it’s a power tool, right? Just say right. Thank you.
Looking through my tool stuff reminded me of Ricky. Was it because he was so handy around the house? No. It’s because they are my tools. And they were even mine when he still lived here. Boyfriend didn’t even have a hot clue about what to do with a screwdriver.
Okay…so that was less a story…and more just me remembering how sucky he was. Wait…is. It’s just that he sucks on someone else’s time…not mine.
And…and…and. I’m starting my class next week. 4 weeks and I’ll have my CNA as well as my home health aide. I think that means I have to wipe shat off people. Wait…I do that now.
It’s my million step process to being a nurse.
My next step is getting an LPN…then an RN. I should be done by the time I’m 85 and too old to work.
But it rocks…it’s on my terms…and at the end of the day…I’m happy. Power tools and all.
We’ll talk about the hole in my ceiling later…
As long as you’re happy it doesn’t matter WHAT you do! And I tip my hat to you, ma’am, for even daring to go near the power tools. I wish I had your prowess.
well hell about time you showed up i have been waiting to hear something grand about your daily antics…im just so happy that you are going after what you want, this will be a challenge but you are a strong cookie and what an inspiration you’ll be to your kids, it is never too late carol i did cna for a few years as i worked toward other things…it is hard, but a great work out and if you really care it is rewarding, there is poo, but your right if you have had one child or a cat…what is a little poo between paychecks right?
GOOD FOR YOU carole!!!!!!!!! im so happy for you!! dave told me ur going to school soon and i was hoping it was for nursing! you will make the BEST nurse some day. miss you!

I did Home Care where I live for a few years – and yes, you will be wiping shat off of people. So what? It’s one step on a long journey to where you wanna be! I’m so proud of you!
As for the hole in the ceiling – I have a few ideas – LOL!
I didn’t know you were planning on nursing school! That’s awesome, for you, the kids, your life… it’s a shitty job, you know that, but way rewarding and worth it… I think you know all that too…
good luck!!!
