Yes, you read that right! 5 days and we will be headed up to GA!

I woke up this morning and just felt like taking some pictures. Honestly, I haven't had the urge to do it in a while. I think it's because there is just so so much to take care of before the move. At least I hope that's what it is. We have the Sugar Mill Gardens about 5 minutes from our house and it is so stunning!

So, I have been a stay at home mom for 9 years up until last week. I got my first client with Home Instead Senior Care. {Even though I am not a nurse, I am still bound by HIPPA, so my client will remain unknown to you all!} I can tell you that she is a spitfire! We get along great and I look forward to working with her longer!
I will say that I am exhausted!

Bwhahaha
Bet you all haven't seen a title like that in a while!! I think it's fitting because my last post was in November 2011, so technically, I haven't posted in the new year yet. That ends NOW!
Where to begin.....
Well, lets start where we left off, shall we? November. Turkey Day. There isn't much to say about that! We ate. and visited. and ate some more! It was great.I was officially hired Mayhem At The McNeilshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04657093651726435847noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948961293158169125.post-46352902043313836142011-11-06T17:38:00.000-06:002011-11-06T17:38:27.326-06:00Im A CNA Baby!!!!!
Yes, it's official! As of Saturday, yours truly is a Certified Nursing Assistant!!! I was soooo nervous about taking the State test, but I did GREAT! In 2 weeks I will have a license number but I can work now as long as I show my pass results to an employer. Yipeeeee! Hopefully this certification will make job hunting a tad bit easier......

So Im sure that everyones been DYING to know just how the heck we are. Things are way slow moving on the job front. Ive applied to probably 20 diferent jobs over the past 2 weeks. Now a days, everyone only takes applications for employment online....which is a big time saver, but a HUGE bump in the road for me.

I am typing to you all from the Lagerhof Hotel. Yes, we cleared housing!!! We leave here early Sunday morning to fly back to the States. Its a bittersweet feeling honestly. On one hand, I will get to be around my family again. On the other, I am officially seperated. Honestly, Im ready. It is obvious that we just are not good for each other at this point in our lives.
