Ahhhh relief!

I DID IT!!!

I finally completed my online Medical Billing & Coding course!!

I will recieve my completion certificate by this weekend hopefully!

I have to say, I dreaded doing work the last 5 months of it because it got boring, hard, confusing, and my mentor didn't call me ONCE to give support or help when I needed it. I won't suggest that school for any military wife. But I'm very thankful I have something I finished and can make my resume pretty lol.

Now the stress is gone and I can focus on Dental Asst school! I'm in week 3 and STILL loving it!! Got to work in a few classmates mouths this week which was interesting. And of course, I offered to take my exam first which led to me being the test dummy patient for all the other students to take their test with. We were doing Fluoride treatments but with whipped cream. So I'm pretty sure I ended up with alot of cavities that day haha. I only have 6 more days until I've completed my first Mod...can you believe that?!? It went by SO quickly and I will be a dental junior and no longer a dental baby! Woohoo!!

Now, the dreaded word....anxiety

J has been decent this past week with his attacks. Well, ALOT better than it was 2 weeks ago. The Therapist said she is at a loss as to what to do because he's too young for her to communicate with. She is looking into finding a Play Therapist and I'm crossing my fingers that it works. Because if not, were starting from point A again. I have had alot more patience with it and so has he. We made a huge step in him actually going to the naughty chair twice in one day and not even complaining!! Yes, I know, that has to do with his normal 2 year old tantrums...but it's a way of getting him to calm down and notice he's in the wrong which can also help with his anxiety attacks.

So the lovely holiday is coming up. Valentine's Day! Some hate it, some can't wait because they have a hot date! Me on the other hand, it's an iffy day lol. Why? Because it happens to be the day my Mother gave birth to me! Exciting because it's my Birthday, but unless I have a date...it's awkward because most everyone else is celebrating with their loved ones. My ex husband never made it too special anyways so I'm not depressed to be alone this year. BUT this year I have awesome friends who are wanting to spend the weekend with me and Valentine's Day to celebrate! Definitely looking forward to it! I'll be 23....yikes!! That age makes me cringe because it sounds so old haha.

I'm Lovin' It!

I have officially completed a full week of Dental Asst School and I absolutely LOVE it!

We had an exam over Math Fundamentals on the 2nd day and I made a 96!

Tomorrow we have a quiz over Microbiology and I plan on making a solid 100 for that lol.

I used to hate note taking and preparing for test but I'm actually enjoying it!

I will say, it's different having to wake up at 6 in the morning and only going to school through Thursday but I'm sure I will get used to it soon!

Besides school I have had an extremely emotional week.

J's separation anxiety has been REALLY bad this week and it's very draining. I have spent alot of time crying, praying, and trying to make him happy.

He has seen a therapist and goes back again this Friday. I'm hoping to get him into a play therapy group and something that's more often than every 2 weeks because it's not getting better.

I never thought my Son would experience such a painful, sad problem like this anxiety.

I hurt for him. I blame myself sometimes for not getting out of the marriage before he could understand what was happening. I also realize though that God has better plans for us and this is only temporary. He won't give me more than I can handle. So for now I have to take a deep breath, thank him for what he's done for us so far, show my son unconditional love through the pain, and have patience for the calming of the storm!

2012...it's here!!!

Yes, I know....I said I was back on track with posting regularly and then stopped for another 3 months.

It's terrible!!! My New Years resolution is to blog at least once every week this year!!! Keep me accountable people!! Haha.

Here are the things I experienced in 2011 that I'm extremely happy to be saying bye to!

• Being lied to and cheated on by my spouse
• Getting a divorce
• Going through alot of alcohol thinking it would solve all the problems
• Moving away from all my "Military Family"
• Not having a job all year besides Partylite
• Getting a certificate in Medical Billing & Coding
• Going up and down with my weight...more up than down :/
• My Son having anxiety attacks from the divorce

Here are the things I can't wait to experience in 2012!!!

• Been experiencing dating again, feels good, but not so much natural yet
• Staying alcohol free except on occassions in which I won't over indulge lol
• I get to visit my Military Family in February!!!
• I got accepted into Dental Assistant school and start in Jan!!
• I will "hopefully" have my certificate in Medical Billing & Coding within 3 weeks
• Get to experience a Mission Trip to Slovakia, Vienna, and one other place in May!!!!!!!!!
• Plan to stick with my trainer and do 3-4 workouts a week, no strict diet, and lose 15 lbs with a dream goal of 35 lbs
• My Son is set up with a Child Play Therapist and fingers crossed he gets the help needed because I hate seeing him in so much emotional pain.

I'm STOKED for the new year and believe there's many wonderful things coming our way! Hope y'all have alot to look forward to also!!
