What's a blog about?

I've been reading through some seriously interesting blogs! I love the funny, narrative ones that make me chuckle aloud more than anything else! I'm wondering if I'm wrong in assuming that I can blog about my day to day life in a matter of fact manner and have it be interesting? I'd love to feel like part of a 'community' here, anonamously, (how the hell do you spell that???) of course. But I don't always write with humor. Sure, I've made a few Myspace blogs about my job that made people crack up, at least they said....I have all family and friends on there, so they'd better tell me I'm funny when I'm trying to be!

I guess this blog is gonna be a boring old journal, a venting place. No one really wants to read about someone whining and bitching all the time, right? Oh well, that's what this will be!!!


I guess a lil more background about me would be a good thing, if I wish to feel a part of the community? Get to know your neighbors, right?

Well, like I said previously, I'm married with 3 kids. I'm essentially married to the U.S. Navy. At least it seems at times. My husband is great (at this moment...I'm sure I'll contradict that in future posts). He's a very supportive fella that is pushing me to go to college, he's taken over the 'mom' role in the house because I work at night, therefore NEVER have any energy because of screwed up sleep patterns. He drives the 'family' car while I roll in a screaming yellow Mustang with only 4 seats, which doesn't accomodate our 5 person family. Yeah, he pretty much rocks. This hasn't always been the case, but years of training has produced a pretty decent guy.

The college deal: I got preggo the summer before my senior year in high school. Moved in with the old man, never finished high school. Over the last 13 or so years I've been a stay-at-home mom and wife, with spurts of working minimum wage jobs when I got bored. I've never put my kids in daycare because I've always worked hours when my husband was home to take care of them. Old Man has been after me for the last few years to get my GED. He got his GED when he joined the Navy and has been in college for oh....3 or 4 years? He's nearing the end of his Bachelor's and I'm proud of him.

So, this last summer he essentially signed me up for the GED classes and said 'go to them'. I did. I blazed the pre-tests and had no real worries that I would pass the test. I passed with Honors. I'm very proud of that! Not too bad for uneducated lil ole me! With GED in hand, I've enrolled in an online community college for my first class. Not Ivy League, of course, but I'm doing something I never thought I would! Half-way through a Sociology course and my mind is in a quandry. I have no idea what to do after this class!

Nursing is a big possibility but I'm scared, honestly, of killing someone by accident! How do you get over that? Any nurses out there that had my same fears? This fear is making me look into accounting courses. Booooooooring!!!! But the money is decent (from what I've read) and there's a possibility of getting into a position where you make your own hours.....that's always a plus! Except that I'm lazy and I'm scared I'd put it off until it was too late......

Another part is I'm impatient. I wanna be a nurse NOW, YESTERDAY if at all possible. I want to soak up all of the knowledge through osmosis. (I love that word) Alot of it is common sense, right? I mean, I know I have to learn dosage calculations and all that good stuff, but I catch on quick, and I can write it down in a lil notebook for the next victim, I mean patient.

I hope I don't offend any nurses with that paragraph....it's not my intention. I'm aware of the hard work and in-depth learning you've had to do for your degree. Just making jokes!

Well, that's another portion of 'getting to know the blogger'.....maybe soon I'll come up with a funny, witty post. Until then though, I guess I'll just get it all out!
