Props To All You Working Folks

In my last post I told you about me getting a job! Well, I'm getting used to being in the work force. And, it's not easy. Props to all you working folks.

My first shift was 12 hours (a little over, but whose counting). It was long, I babysit two wonderful kids, and like most kids their age their extremely active. I never have time for a break. Which I guess what you working people don't get either.

The job is on the same shift as a nurse. The job I wish to have when I figure out what the hell I am doing.

In between, I had some eventful things happen.

Or more like one thing...BUT IT IS HUGE!

My Mom graduated from college! After a long battle with my aunt's cancer, she finally successfully made the journey across the stage. I could have not been more proud of anyone. My mom had been out of school for nearly 25 years. So for her to return to school and graduate is a wonderful accomplishment. Shortly after her last term end of year practicum she was hired for a part-time position, yet ANOTHER reason to be proud of my dear mother and her accomplishments.

Flowers that me, and my cousin bought for her after she marched out.

                          
I'm very proud of my mother - she is a wonderful, caring, hardworking woman, and just like her sister she would do anything to help someone else out. Good on you, Mom!

Though the work days are long and you have to be up early - 4:30 a.m. life can have it's joyous days. Filled with wonderful accomplishments and rewards, like Mom's graduation, or my FIRST pay day!

Anything you're proud of?
