With such relief....

I come to you tonight! Can you believe how long it has been since I have been here to update everyone? I apologize for taking such a long vacation from blogging. It has been a much needed break, however.

Tonight, I passed my state EMT exam! My final percentage in the class was a 91.9%, placing me 2nd in the class. I am so very excited.

In the same breath, I am also sad to know that three of the classmates that tested today did not pass and will not move onto the next step. They now must take the entire class over with if they want to pursue their EMT license.

As for me, I now move on to my national registry exam. I am thinking of taking it in another 7-10 days. We shall see if my time frame works out or not.

I am still working at the hospital. The shift I am working has been quite difficult to get used to. It has put a tremendous strain on me so I have requested to be put on a different shift. Actually, I will be moving to an on call position. I think that at this time, that is the best place for me to be.

The kids are doing well. They just finished having spring break. They had a great time for Easter. Unfortunately, I ended up tucked in bed for most of the day only to turn around and come to work again that evening. It is the first time I have been away from them for a holiday. Needless to say, it was a difficult thing for me. All the plans I had for the holiday didn't work out. I was pretty bummed about that.

Tim is still working. At least, for the present time. He will be laid off again on April 27th. Again, we're unsure how long this will last. He has a feeling that it will be for a long time as he said the government apparently told GM to begin the process for bankruptcy. That's not a good sign.

I hope each of you had a fantastic holiday. I hope to keep up the blogging now that my EMT class is over and I have PASSED! What a relief!

Until next time,
