I would like to go back to school. Something in the medical field. Either radiology or sports medicine.

When I was in for my ultrasound for my breast issues, I had a strong desire to go into radiology. Which is a field I was going to go to school for between child #1 & child #2. I was even accepted at the local community college, where it is a fulltime 2 year program. Right now I just don't have the time or the money to do that.

Tuesday night when I got to football practice to pick up my boy, there was an injured player. The ambulance was pulling up just as I was walking across the parking lot. As a mother I had that sudden panic come over me until I found the location of the injured player. My boy was about 2 football fields over. The hurt player was a 4th grader, my youngest knows him. He has hurt his neck and they were taking no chances. He was in school the next day, all is fine. When I got over to where my boy was practicing all I wanted to do was devore him in a huge hug. I didn't care that he was with all of his fellow football players. All I could think about was that my son wasn't hurt. Lucky for him, he was out on the field in the middle of a play. He was saved from the ultimate embrassment, the hug from his momma!

I go through the whole sports medicine phase every football season. Everytime a player gets hurt I just think, if I were trained I could help that player. Last night at basketball practice, it was no different. The girls were dorking around & they kept hurting each other or themselves. My daughter somehow managed to fall while she was getting a drink. She hit her little head 3 times on the porclein drinking fountain, all during the same fall! I know, she is so gracefull! I know enough to know to figure out if medical attention is needed or not. Pupils were fine, no double vision, didn't black out etc. She does however have a big bruise on her forehead directly above her left eye. A goose egg appeared immediately, it looked so sore!

I really wish I had gone back to college. I graduated from High School in 1992, went to college for a year, where I learned how to hang drywall & get pregnant. After my daughter was born in 1993 I was going to go back to school. Then a month later my mother died. By the time the next semester came around I was working to support my child. I've been working full time ever since. I married the father, but he was never reiable enough for me to not work and go to school. So now I just struggle to raise my kids and pay all of my bills.

I know I could go to school part time and still work. Part of my problem with that is I am an impatient person. If it's a 2 year program, I want to be finished in 2 years. If I were to work too, it would take me 4 or 5 years to finish. If I had gone back when I was accepted, I would be finished by now. I would be making more money, have better hours and I would have health insurance.

& I'm trying to win Hannah Montana tickets for my youngest. Anyone know the secret to being the 93rd caller? I've got 2 phones going and all I get is either busy signal or busy circuits! I've registered with 2 different radio stations to win these tickets too. One is having a Mommy Fear Factor contest. I listen to this station everyday. I know the gross stuff they have their interns eat. I would be very worried if I were picked to be in the contest. But she really wants to go tot he show & it is 2 days before her birthday, so I would do it- just for her. Wish me luck.
