In going through everything I have gone through as of late in regards to Ryan's employment, I have decided that I, too, must follow suit and go back to school. Yes, I have my cosmetology license and there is good money in hair...once you've been doing it awhile and have a loyal following. In the meantime, you're making ten bucks an hour (plus tips-sweet sweet tips) at Great Clips.
*Which brings me to today's adventures. I've really been in a panic(!!!!!). And after talking to my mom I think I am just reverting to when my dad was unemployed for so long (18 months).
I think that's whats been my problem, not to mention I am growing a peanut in my belly that turns me into a nutty basket of hormones.
So, I scheduled a job interview at Great Clips for today (hey, one of us has to make the moneys, right??). The interview went great, I interview really well. Every job I've ever interviewed for I've gotten. I left and ate lunch at Pete's, don't judge, hey I earned it!!! And I went across the street to the Temple and took a session and bawled like a baby all through it.
Check back to see if I end up accepting this job or not...
*I've began looking into LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) programs and found that EVIT (the cosmetology school I went to) also offers a LPN program.
Beautiful. I need a degree. Period.
And it's always bothered me that I never finished. And the University of Phoenix has a LPN to BSN program. So in 3 years I will have my bachelor's in nursing. Perfect.
*I really like being at home with my babies. Alot. That's why I've wrestled so much with whether to go back to work or not, even though we so need the money right now.
I would only have this glorious degree to have it. And maybe pick up an extra shift or two a week when the babies are all in school. And, Ryan and I would have such a huge thing in common, OUR PROFESSION.
I've always known I would do a 'Doctors' Without Borders' program once the kids are gone, and this TOTALLY opens the door for that. With RyRy.
So that's it for my epiphanies for today.
My brain hurts...

Wow~that's a huge decision. What does your mom think?
BTW, I've gone private on my blog and need your email address to add you. Send it to me at rnbandrews@msn.com. :)
That is great news! You know with Ryans status with work right now and you living with his mom this is the perfect time to go to school. Even when he gets a job it would be way easier for you now to go to school then if he gets way into work and training. Congrats and goodluck, either way its great!
If you go through University of Phoenix, talk to my brother Jeremy Price, he's an enrollment counselor there currently; graduating with his Masters so that he can become a teacher. He can give you the low down, pros and cons, without telling you THIS IS FOR YOU; like most enrollment counselors would do. Here's his number (602) 713-0476, don't forget to mention me. ;) And good luck!
I went to work at Great Clips. Kalina talked me into working for her when I got laid off my job. And just because you have degree doesnt always ensure you will have a job. I have my degree from ASU and graduated with honors and I still have no "real" job and its definately not from a lack fo trying. But good luck with everything and I hope your job search and school decsion making goes well.
I think mom just wants me to be at home with the babies for now. I need to look into class scedules, but if I can do it part time and work something out with Ry I would love to get this done ASAP. Ryan is fearing that we're 'biting off more than we can chew' and has asked that I just wait until he's done. He's right. Doesn't matter, really when I do it, I just need to do it and I have this nagging feeling to get it done!
Courtney, I think its hard to find a job right now because its such a bad market. Hopefully going into healthcare though, we will feel the smallest effect of that! ;)Good luck to you.
