Budgeted Blonde Goes Back to School!

"We need women who are so strong they can be gentle, so educated they can be humble, so fierce they can be compassionate, so passionate they can be rational, and so disciplined they can be free"- Kavita Ramdas

After taking quite some time off since earning my associates degree in general studies, I am returning this summer to take two online classes to prepare for my nursing degree. I love taking classes online, especially sciences! I love to go at my own pace, it teaches me time management and self-discipline! It can be a challenge, but I love it! This semester I am taking dietary studies, which is a one credit hour supplement for nutrition and oddly enough, I am a little excited about it! I think it will help with my own diet and nutrition towards my goals. I am also taking biology online, a little crazy but I need to get it finished so I can start my nursing degree.
My nursing school journey was halted unexpectedly, I explained this in detail in this post. I am hoping to start nursing again from the beginning this upcoming Spring of 2017. It was a hard pill to swallow to accept that I would have to completely start again after being 3 months away from graduating with my associates in nursing. But, it is a humbling experience that I believe I needed to go through in order to appreciate and learn from. I am currently waiting to hear back from a health system near me about a possible job back in the health field, fingers crossed!! If I get the position, it will be a day time 8-5 kind of job so nursing school will have to wait. But if not, then I will continue serving through school. Putting all these tentative plans in God's hands and praying that He will show me what is the right path for me. My patience has been tested for so long regarding my career and education, it has been a long road but I know that will just make me appreciate it that much more!

Prayers and positive vibes are appreciated while I wait for my next step! Hope everyone has a great Monday and a happy week full of blessings!

We Don't Talk About That...

Mental health has never been a "hot topic" or a common dinner conversation, it is usually dusted under the rug and left to fester til another day. Honestly, I'm writing this for my own mental health, rather my sanity. Since this virus took over our lives, being forced to live completely out of the norm has made mental health become a little bit more of a subject but not by much. Being bored and forced to be in the same house almost 24/7 can cause you to focus on things you wouldn't normally think about. This is also true for myself. Up until now, I haven't really discussed with anyone but close friends and family what I have struggled with for a long time. To me, you talk about it and everyone will think you're looney. Well, I'm over it and tired of hiding it so here goes! When I lived in Orlando, I had extremely high anxiety for the first time. I was basically alone full time miles away from my hometown. I tried so desperately to avoid facing what I...

I'm Made of Glitter, Water, and Anxiety

So over the last few years I have struggled with admitting and treating my own personal demon of anxiety. I have many friends who have a similar struggle and agree that prior to becoming it's prey, we thought anxiety was a total joke. I mean, when I would witness an anxiety attack I would just think, 'come on, pull it together sister!'. But now that I tend to deal with it on the daily, it is a very real monster. To have your own brain betray you as such is a difficult thing to grasp. Going from a perfectly rational person to trying to prevent anything and everything that could possibly happen, you look at yourself and think 'jeez! What a nutcase!'. Treating my anxiety wasn't an easy task, especially since I began treating mine at the end of a relationship and while being completely alone. It was a daily struggle and I really didn't feel like anyone would understand without being judgemental. I also used substances as my release, we all know I love my wine....

South in your Mouth

This morning, like every Saturday morning, I get up with coffee-induced strength and make my sweetheart breakfast. He's a lover of pancakes and sausage but ever since we moved in together, I have been slowly expanding his palette. I probably have one of the pickiest men in the South! I think I've complained about this before, I'm sure some other ladies can agree! Well, our house has been quite a whirlwind and so this morning I wanted to make a hearty breakfast, with the cold front coming in, today definitely called for it! Bradley recently joined the Eustis Gun Club so he wanted to be up bright and early to get down there. The things I will do for this man! I tell ya! However, there is always time for a Saturday afternoon nap so I got up after morning snuggles and him obviously turning the heat on (let's face it, I wasn't getting up when it was 64° in the house, he's a smart man!). I decided to make homemade biscuits and sausage gravy! Now, I know most Sout...
