Three Little Kids Sitting in a Row....

If you happened to be sitting on our front porch on this nice Sunday afternoon, this is what you would have seen......
One little girl who showed up at Grandmas house with swim suit
in hand asking "Grandma, do you have a pool?"






One little boy who hates the grass, but is quite content to sit
on a blanket and watch everything going on around him.


One little boy who was tired of the pool and just wanted

to lay on "the nice soft towel".


Add all that up and what do you get?

The Girl Who Cried 'Nurse'!

One of my dearest friends really made me think this week. Kalia's Facebook status read something like this:


"Want to make God laugh?
Tell Him your plans."

That took me back to many many years ago....let me explain....

When I was a little girl, I couldn't stand hospitals, doctor's offices, dentist offices...basically anything that had to do with doctors and nurses. I would literally start feeling sick if I knew we were going to visit a person at the hospital. The smell, the strange noises, ugh....I hated it all.

Therefore, since the time she could talk, Kristin Skidmore has made it know that "I will NEVER be a nurse!"

This proves you to be correct, Kalia! I told God my plans and he just laughed, "Yeah right Kristin! Too bad you're not in charge!"

I am thrilled about becoming a CNA. Actually, I haven't been this excited about something in a long time! I'm excited about all the opportunities that this will open up for me.

In other words, learn from my example.....NEVER, ever ever...say NEVER!

The End of the Beginning, and the Beginning of the End!



Yes, the title of this post says it all :-) I took my last test at GC today, the place where I started my college experience. On June 12th, I will begin classes at AC and graduate in August as a CNA...Certified Nursing Assistant!

I am really excited about this! Graduating College, being able to do something that I (hopefully :-) ) enjoy, and best of all....never having to worry about school again :-)

We will be working in a Nursing Home the last few weeks of class; I'm not sure which direction I'm headed (ie geriatrics, pediatrics, home health etc) but I'm really looking forward to that experience.


I'm sure I'll have some fun stories from class this summer, so this blog should get really interesting in about a month :-)
