The thought of severe weather makes me & my kids very nervous. I have never actually been in any severe weather...I have just always been scared of storms. My kids have seen me scared during storms & now they are scared too. I hate that this is something I have passed on to my kids, because being scared of storms is NO FUN! Some people make fun of me because I am so scared, but until you are terrified of something yourself you don't know the feelings it causes you to have. I will NOT sleep ANY tonight until the storms pass. They have put most of our state in a severe threat of a 9 out of 10. This is the first time we have been in a threat this high. All of the information I learned in nursing school about disaster planning has been running through my head all day....(3 days of food, 3 days of water, 3 days of medications, flashlights, batteries, radio, kitty litter, bucket...just to name a few). I wonder if I should get all my supplies gathered up & take everything to the basement...just in case. I would rather be prepared & nothing happen; then to be unprepared & have no food, water or clothing in the basement.
Today was awards day for Spencer at school. I was excited that I was going to get him receive his awards. I got to school about 12:15 & noticed the parking lot was empty...which I thought was weird if they were supposed to have awards at 12:30. I went to the office & they said awards were at 8:30 this morning.....REALLY???? So I came home & looked at my paper again....and it said Primary Awards @ 12:30 on 5/25/11. So apparently they changed the time & I missed the change somehow :( When he got home I got some pictures with his awards. I hate that I missed his awards, but he wasn't too upset because he thought it was at 12:30 too.

I have had a lot of people asking if I have found a job.....NOPE! I am not in any hurry right now. The state law changes June 8th. If I wait until I after June 8th I can apply for my license & boards without doing another 120 hours. If I would have already had a job I would have went ahead & applied for everything and got my RNA (registered nurse applicant) license & had to do 120 hours before I could take my NCLEX. I am just going to wait and this way I can take my test sooner & then look for a job. This will give me more time to spend with the kids especially since they are fixing to be on summer break.
Speaking of boards (NCLEX)...I thought once I graduated studying would be over....boy was I WRONG! I still have the MOST IMPORTANT test of my life to pass. In order to get my RN license I have to pass the NCLEX. I am taking a review course online. So far it has been VERY helpful to reinforce things I haven't had since first or second semester. I was going to take it live, but with it being the kids last week of school & all the activities going on that I didn't want to miss...I decided to take it online. It is the same information online as it would be in the live course but I can work at my own pace & look at it as many times as I want.
I guess I better start getting everything prepared for the weather tonight. Everyone stay safe! Praying for all the ones already hit by these storms & praying they don't come this way!
