Where were you?

September 11, 2001

I think I was pregnant with my youngest at the time. I had Abby in daycare even though I was home. Not realizing that she should have been in early intervention. The day care people weren't very good with her or nice! I did it because she needed the socialization with kids, I chose the wrong day care center! On this day though, six years back, I took her out. I just remember hugging her all day that day, and just thought..."you're safe here with me." I don't know how I could have kept my miracle baby safe, but she was in my arms, and that was the only thing I cared about. I called my husband who works for Metra. Asked if he was safe, and he was. He didn't know what had happened at the time, and later in the day he called to see how we were. I had a million thoughts swirling in my head. I didn't know what to think. How could we be attacked by terrorists? Hadn't our leaders protected us from that? My thoughts of invincibility went to shreds. My heart ached for those who lost loved ones. I didn't watch the news coverage that day. Abby was three at the time, and seeing people fall to their death was too much for me to bear, much less a three yr old.
Firemen are my heros second to my daughter Abby, and I pray for the families who have lost their sons, daughters, dads, brothers.....
I pray and hope our world is a safer place. With all the madness in it, I doubt it. I stay positive for my daughters however, just as my parents did. That truly is the one thing I am grateful for. My parents staying positive about the world and its madness.
I will keep those lost in the towers on Sept. 11 2001, and all the people who tried to help them. Please if you're reading this, please do the same, and turn on your headlights while driving today.

Social networks

Before I begin to tell about my big decision. I wanted to talk a little about social networking. I have found alot of friends this way, and have made a few business partners. I will list my favorites right now.
Apsense is a great network, with thousands of people exchanging businesses and ideas. I love it.
Yuwie is all the rage as well. Yuwie is like myspace, but is a little bit in that you get paid to view pages, blog, upload pictures, chat and just hange out!


Yuwie is a lot of fun for me, and I spend alot of time there. One thing I like about yuwie is chatting with people from places like New Zealand and Sweden. Try them, test them out, and then tell me how it went for you.

Three others is just for us moms. One I do post occasionally at is JOINING MOMS. It is a great place for business minded moms. The site is very easy to navigate.
here is my banner, and each referral I believe pays you a dollar.

Definitely a plus for the business oriented woman.

My big decision part 3

Okay, so I have an interview on Monday, August 27th to be a school health aid. I wasn't expecting the phone call Friday to come for an interview even though they had said they would be interviewing. I hadn't even finished filling out the school application! So, because the state of Illinois requires more education for school nurses. I have looked at two colleges, and have already applied for one scholarship. It wasn't for much, but I figure every bit will help since I am returning to school, which is very expensive! So now I have another decision as well. There are two colleges that offer school nurse programs. One is online and the other is a campus program. Both offer financial aid, and one is more reputable than the other. UIC, I've heard of, and as far as I know is more reputable. UIC is the online program. I will have to check with the school to see if they will accept a cert. from an online program. Until Monday!

My big decision Part deux

Well, I am half way finished with my application for the school district. I need to look up my referrals. The link I was originally given, didn't work, and the details online pertain to teachers, so I am not sure my online app will even get looked at. With this fear in hand, I emailed the insurance company I was trying to get a job with. They are investigating some part time work for me. So I made some kind of decision and spoke to my husband. I will take the part time insurance work, and part time home health. And I will also go to school part time to be a school nurse. Also clean and manage my house, manage my businesses, help my daughters with school work, and if extra money is needed do agency nursing on the weekend. The title of my blog is My bizzy world isn't it. Have a great weekend.

What a disappointment

So entering the blogging world is not going to be as easy as I thought. I thought I was getting up to date things, and being techy, so I thought I would join technorati. I just got an email from a customer service rep saying that my blog is nothing more than a bunch of websites. Excuse me???? I have plenty of posts about my life on here. He obviously saw my business posts, and that was that. It's a shame...I belong to alot of networks...If these people want promotion, perhaps they should read a little. Not a happy camper right now!

technorati

Hello world!
Good afternoon! Well today I am supposed to work the grave yard shift as a real live nurse in an ICU setting! So let's see if the shift holds up, and I actually work. I still have my new job dilemma and will post more on that after the weekend.

I have decided to join technorati on the recommendation of an apsense networking buddy, so I can get my blog more exposure! I also want to eventually get yahoo or google ads on here, but that is down the road I guess. If anyone reading this knows how I can get google ads, please let me know, because I have been turned down once. Okay, now for my link to technorati.

I hope this works!
