House, Work, & NCLEX

Wow! It has been a long time since I have updated!!
We have been busy as usual. Finish one thing & start another, that is how life is supposed to be right??
Anyhow, our house is officially on the market as of last Monday. We have had 1 showing so far (thanks to the freezing weather & snow) & I have been doing a TON of cleaning. I knew we had a lot of stuff we didn't need, but I had no idea how much! I have done all the closests now (6, but who is counting), under 2 beds, some cabinets & the basement. With that 2 car loads have gone to Goodwill, a trailer of trash to the dumpster & all our Christmas & some other things to storage. It has been 2 full weeks of work, but the house looks GREAT!! Now we are just hopeing that it sells quickly. If you didn't know we are building a new house. It won't be finished until the end of August, but we are okay with moving to an apartment for a few months to save some money while we are waiting. We are very excited, but nervous just the same. I will post pictures as things develope, right now there are just sticks in the ground for the foundation to be dug. Nothing too exciting yet!
I am now in my 6th week of orientation at Children's. It is going pretty well. I am not sure that I like doing the whole chemo thing though. I am in the process of making some decisions about what I really want to do. Not to mention working nights is not so easy! I will keep everyone updated as I make my decisions.
NCLEX is coming up next week!!! YIKES! I don't think I could ever really be fully prepared, even if I spent 15 hours a day studying for a week. I am just going to do some practice tests & do the best I can.
Dustin has been slow at work with all of this snow & cold. Other than that he has discovered XBOX Live & is pretty addicted at the moment. I think he does it just to get out of helping get the house ready! :)
That is about all that is going on with us! More next time....
