I love being a nanny but its not a stable job, and the worst part is when they no longer need you and you have to tell the little kids that you have spent&amp;nbsp;umpteen&amp;nbsp;million hours with good bye and usually for good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have always wanted to go into the medical field so that was&amp;nbsp;option&amp;nbsp;one. Option two was being a K-8 teacher because I love working with kids. Option three was accounting because I love spreadsheets and I love running numbers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have decided to go the medical route. I am looking into CNA training to start off with and will work with that while trying to get my LPN and RN degrees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know that the road ahead is not easy and at times I will feel like giving up but I feel that it is the right decision for me and were I am right now. So here is to a New Year and a new start.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4284965312855133819-8137026465521509520?l=nobackingdown.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nobackingdown.blogspot.com/feeds/8137026465521509520/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nobackingdown.blogspot.com/2012/01/hard-decision.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4284965312855133819/posts/default/8137026465521509520'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4284965312855133819/posts/default/8137026465521509520'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nobackingdown.blogspot.com/2012/01/hard-decision.html' title='A Hard Decision'/><author><name>Danyel Hawkins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07421640670689950878</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284965312855133819.post-7279984161584017351</id><published>2011-12-26T21:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2012-01-01T18:42:58.717-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Things I want to do</title><content type='html'>Now that I am single (The&amp;nbsp;divorce&amp;nbsp;went threw on November 11th). There are many things that I find I&amp;nbsp;wasn't&amp;nbsp;allowed&amp;nbsp;to do that I want to do. There are also things that I want to do just because. I find it funny that I am a happier, more energetic person. I want to feel alive and free, to feel the wind in my hair and my heart race, to dance in the rain and scream at the top of my lungs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe Im nuts but that's OK. So here is the start of the list of things I want to do...&lt;br /&gt;Skydive&lt;br /&gt;Dance in the rain&lt;br /&gt;Scream at the top of my lungs&lt;br /&gt;Ride on a motorcycle&lt;br /&gt;Hike a mountain&lt;br /&gt;Go to another country&lt;br /&gt;Jog&lt;br /&gt;Go Dancing&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will add more as they come up.

I spent the morning playing mommy to my mom and brothers kids. Sometimes it feels like I am a single parent of 7, 2 year old's and one baby.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got to take a shower at 10 and ran out the door to work. When I got home I had a sister&amp;nbsp;proclame&amp;nbsp;that I had not been home all day and therefor done nothing around the house. I felt like getting in my car and driving till I ran out of gas and I would have if I didn't have to work&amp;nbsp;tomorrow. Im sure I could have gotten 100miles or so away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No one in this house understands what it feels like to have OCD and them live like pigs. I like my room in the garage for that reason. I only&amp;nbsp;rarely&amp;nbsp;have to deal with them and their messes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well off to finish cleaning the house for one more child to visit (he flies in tonight) then off to bed (Hope not to late) and then work at 5:30 in the morning. Come on Friday hurry up and come.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4284965312855133819-4481252630325876952?l=nobackingdown.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://nobackingdown.blogspot.com/feeds/4481252630325876952/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://nobackingdown.blogspot.com/2011/12/one-of-those-days.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4284965312855133819/posts/default/4481252630325876952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4284965312855133819/posts/default/4481252630325876952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://nobackingdown.blogspot.com/2011/12/one-of-those-days.html' title='One of those days'/><author><name>Danyel Hawkins</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07421640670689950878</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284965312855133819.post-8154222591353279591</id><published>2011-12-18T00:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-12-18T00:56:25.319-08:00</updated><title type='text'>I have missed this</title><content type='html'>I use to blog all the time.
