Sorry I'm not updating as much as I used to. Since I've been out of school I thought I'd have a lot of free time. Ends up I'm just as busy as before I got out. I take my grandmother (Nanay) to her physical rehab for her knee every Mon, Wed, and Fri. The days that I'm not taking her to rehab I spend with my mom & nanay doing various things (shopping) or else I'm with Quang and Kimberly doing our thing (fishing).
Its been nice not having to study, but....I SHOULD HAVE been studying already. I have a Pharmacology book I have to read, drugs I gotta look up, and I'm waiting for my summer study guide from the school.
Now....with Memorial Day coming up I'll be working nonstop. I'm going to get 2 days off a week and get between 35-40 hrs. a week working 2nd & 3rd shift. I know its gonna be hard for me, and I am actually pretty nervous about working. Its been since Kim has been born that I've worked. So....I'm scared how I'll be able to adapt or NOT adapt. But..this is definitely going to be a rewarding experience. I don't think I'll be taking any courses this summer cuz I really wanna just save money for the future. I know the paycheck I'll receive may seem remedial and insignificant right now, but every little bit counts. Quang and I don't want to live with my mother forever. Its just hard....
Its hard balancing everything. Balancing the family I have with Quang and the immediate family I've always had. Trying to spend as much time as possible with both while not disappointing the other for not spending enough time with them. I feel TORN! I try to satisfy everybody by doing what they want even though its not what I really want. It doesn't matter as long as I make whoever happy. Make Kim happy, make Quang happy, keep my mom & nanay proud.....ITS KILLER!!
Enough about that....
Kimberly.....oh Kimberly
How fast she grows. She can whistle, snap her finger, cross her eyes. Hehehe...YES...I AM PROUD!! She's more and more girly everyday. She already likes putting body spray on, lip gloss, have her hair in a ponytail. "Only one mommy, not two." She prefers just a single ponytail rather than pigtails. I LOVE the pigtails cuz it keeps her looking like a little girl.
Its been pretty hard for her lately cuz Quang has been working nights. So she has a hard time sleeping. Now, I'll be working evenings or nights and thats what has been worrying me. When I go to work she's going to be the only thing thats gonna be on my mind. ITS GONNA BE TOUGH, but she does have to deal with us working sooner or later. I can't stay home with her forever. Why else would I be going to school to be a nurse.
We just got back from Sea World in San Antonio. She got splashed by "Shamoon" (as Kim would call him/her). The look on her face after it happened was priceless. There was this kid playground with all these nets that kids can climb, slides, everything. It was like an army BOOTCAMP!! For me at least. I had a FAT ATTACK trying to keep up with her. She had a great time.
