So as many of you know, I'm entering my 6th week of Nursing School. It's going great and I absolutely LOVE it! It's hard and I'm busier than I ever thought possible but I know it will be worth it. Thanks to everyone who has helped out...(you know who you are). With babysitting and dinners and offers to do laundry and run my kids to activities...the list goes on and on. THANK YOU! And to all those who have OFFERED to help out but I haven't used yet...don't worry! I have two years left. I'll use you and hopefully not abuse you!
So next week I have THREE tests. A lecture test on Monday. A dosage calculations test on Tuesday and a Vital Signs and Health Assessment Lab check off on Wednesday. I have to do well on all three to stay in the program. Saturday I spent the whole day studying. I was a nervous wreck trying to cram in massive amounts of information in a short space of time. Joey has been WONDERFUL about taking care of the kids while I lock myself in my room with my books and the computer. But it's still noisy and chaotic around here. So Joey decided to take the kids out of the house so I could have quiet. He told me he was going to take all the kids to the Diamondbacks game. I thought he was joking! ALL the kids? By himself? He said he could handle it and it would give me a few hours to study. So off they went. I was scared for him....
They stopped at Target first to buy notebooks for the girls to color and draw in (since they aren't big baseball fans) and also to buy stuff to make a poster. Joey is convinced that if you have a poster, you'll get on TV.... AND THEY DID! Unfortunately, the boys were in the team shop at the time but Joey, Avery and Adelle were all on TV for a good 5 seconds! We recorded it and have watched it a dozen times!
I got so much done while they were gone! I am beyond grateful for that quiet time. Even though it would have been fun to go with everyone to the game...I have to get through this. Thanks to the greatest husband in the world who lets me practice taking his blood pressure until his arm is numb and lets me practice doing physical assessments with only a few off color comments! Gotta love him!

Amazing! For you both... that Joey survived the game and that you are taking on nursing school!
I think maybe your cute little girls had more to do with getting on TV than the sign did, but making signs always makes it more fun for the kids.
Way to go Joey for taking that on.
Alisa, just give me a call when you want to get a couple of those kids out of your house. We'll be home this Saturday.
