Ohayo gozaimas!! Yep, yesterday was my birthday, and I'm proud to say that even though I am now 35 I don't feel any older than I did when I was 25. Oh there have been lots of changes, physically, but mentally I haven't gotten past 25. That's not really a bad thing, it doesn't mean I haven't matured, it just means I refuse to completely grow old and feeble without a fight ;}. I have gotten smarter, wiser and finally have my priorities in order, but it don't seem like that matters a whole lot, especially now that I have two teenage daughters who are under the common teen-age assumption that old equals senile. Ok, I'll admit at times I have extreme baka moments, but they really shouldn't make fun,after all, I am their mother and genetics cannot be ignored. Oh well, they'll figure it out one day, I seriously hope I get to see it!!
I'd love to report that I had a great birthday, filled with well wishes, presents, a yummy cake and all, but I'd be lying through my teeth if I did. The only thing I got was a card, a small present from my kids and husband and several dirty looks and rude remarks directed at me from my father- in- law and grandmother- in- law. I'm thankful for the thoughtfulness of my husband and kids, and I really feel sorry for the others, it's becoming increasingly obvious that they suffer from terminal ignorance. I do my best to ignore them, they can't help it if they had a poor upbringing and weren't taught manners. That's all I have to say about them, no need to dwell on the bad, always look forward for better things ne?!
Speaking of better things, I'm looking forward to getting some magazines featuring Jun that I won off of eBay! I know these have been already scanned and posted and well-drooled over, but this will be the first time I've actually had the privilege of owning the real thing. I suspect I'll have to fight my 13 yr. old for them, but maybe not, she's not nearly as big a fan as I am.
Next week I look forward to finishing my CNA refresher classes and applying for the state exam. Hopefully I'll not get nervous and screw up big time on the skills test. Then it's back to work I go, and then in August, back to school also. I'm bound and determined to finish nursing school and I'll be hanged if some crazed Algebra teacher is gonna ruin it. I've decided to apply as a transient student to another local college , take the class through them and continue on at my current school, but I just found out that this other school also offers a Chinese language class, so I may pick it up too. I love learning languages, and there are so many I want to learn, hopefully I'll learn enough to one day work overseas ne?
Well, it's getting late here and i have to rise and shine early to go teach Sunday school and all, so I'm out for now. Have a great day and be blessed!!
