Congratulations

YESSSS!!!!! I passed my insurance license course and am on my way to taking the state exam. I am exploring the possibility of selling health and life insurance, and possibly mortgage protection insurance. It is something that I can do part time, be my own boss, and schedule my own hours. Whoever thought there could be a job less exciting than being a CPA? Of course it would interest me. A part of me is excited about exploring this new opportunity, however, a part of me is scared for putting a huge part of my life behind me. I studied so hard in school and worked even harder for 7 years and now I feel like I am starting over. I guess I can always go back to being a CPA if insurance does not work out. So for those of you looking for Health/life/mortgage insurance, be on the lookout for me when I pass the state exam!

What's going on



Ok, so I have been really bad at blogging. I get a little creeped out at annonymous blog surfers. But I guess it can't be too bad as long as you don't stalk my house....

Well, we have had a lot going on this past month. Hunter was in the hospital with RSV for 6 days. See the pictures below. Good thing he had diapers on because his little but would have flashed everyone with those baby sized hospital gowns. I should have taken one with me, they were darn cute. For you Auburn fans, there was a cute one with Tigers on it. We were finally able to put normal clothes on him once they removed his IV. Well, I think Hunter actually pulled it out. He knows when he doesn't need those darn IV's anymore. Are you wondering how Hunter got RSV if we stay at home. Well Nate was going to school 2 days a week (which he loved) and brought home the RSV. Unfortunately, that is a part of preschool and the doctor told us to take Nate out of school. Hunter's little week lungs can't handle another cold right now. We give him breathing treatments when he needs them. (The purple dinosaur on his nose is his mask for the breathing treatment.) He does not always act this good. It is really a 30 minute battle with Hunter and I (or daddy) and Hunter seems to win the majority of the time.

Poor Nate now has to stay home with me all week. Occasionally Nate asks about his friends at school. I remind him that his friend Diego is just accross the street and he can play with him. I feel like a hermit at home. I have now realized how many people touch your children and how many potential germs there are out there. I try to go to the park when there are no kids there, but amazingly the sickest kids coughing all over the playground and rubbing their snotty noses seem to be there. And they all want to touch Hunter. Once the cold season is over, hopefully we can come out of our 1400 square foot shell. It seems smaller and smaller each day.
