A quick "about me" update...I just completed a two week, very intensive Certified Nursing Assistant program. Somehow, despite all we have going on at home and the insane amount of "homework" the course required (about 8 hours of extra work a night, including weekend!), I managed to pull of the highest grade in the class (98%)! What a wonderful feeling! Now, I have to find time to take the state test to become state certified and hopefully land a job that's able to provide the scheduling flexibility that I need. Baby steps.
