JUST CALL ME QUINTOMOM

Well........not really, but almost.  I have 4 under the age of 3 and 2 of those are infants and 1 is 12 months.  Monday I get another infant, hence the quintomom!  Now I know why God has women have babies WAY before the age of 51.  I'm worn out every afternoon, my hands are so chaped from washing them constantly after changing diapers, I can now hold 2 infants and feed them at the same time!  That's why God gave us chins.......did you know you can hold a bottle with your chin?  It really does work if the baby doesn't turn it's head!  I've gone from one end of the spectrum to the other.....sitting by myself all day with no noise transcribing to constantly moving with a house full of kids!  There has to be a happy medium.  So Julie and I have come up with a solution.  We are going to take CNA classes!  Can't wait until we can get started.  Not only do I get to spend all day everyday for 2 weeks with my best girl friend but get to FINALLY start learning/doing what I've always wanted to do.  I'm thinking after I get my CNA and then work for about a year, maybe we can go back and get out LPNs.  Don't think I'm interested in getting my RN at this age, but I would be extremely happy with an LPN.  I'm just so stinkin' glad that I don't have to take any math classes or writing classes or speech classes.  Fainting in front of a speech class would be so humiliating!!  I don't think they would allow Joe to come to class and give my speech for me like he used to do for PTA and my treasurer's report.  So.....here's to getting my CNA and finding a job in a hospital or nursing home finally!!!
