Times are Changing...

I just posted a blog about my birthday (which was yesterday) and it's funny that I want to write another one. My oldest sister (who is I think give or take 37 or 38 years old) gave birth a little over a month ago to a baby girl named Godiva. When I think of that name, I think of the chocolate. So I am going to call her what my mother named her which is Chidnma (which means "God is good" in Igbo). I love that name; it's fits my new niece and everything that goes along with it. My oldest sister got married last July and she already has a baby. I have been married for almost four years and no child yet. I am patient. It's not like we have been trying for almost four years and still haven't come up with one, it's just that we are waiting.
I told James that I am not getting any younger and he agrees so we think (notice I said think) we are going to try after the elections (don't ask me why it's James that thinks that something is going to happen before the election).
Getting older, my oldest sister getting married and having her first child within two years, moving back from Illinois, and being a victim of Identity Theft has taught me that things are definitely not the same like they were goodness 10 years ago. So that is what I mean by times are changing. They could be changing for the better not for the worse. I mean being a victim of Identify Theft has completely changed me. When it happpened, I wasn't myself a good month and a half but, with God, James, and my family (but most importantly James and God) I was able to get through it. Little by little they (the Police and everyone else) are closer to getting the person(s) who did this to me and I couldn't be any happier about it.
I am like a butterfly; spreading my wings and seeing what is out there for me. So far what I think that is out there for me is the fact that I want to go back to school and get either a Bachelor's or an Associates in Nursing. Working as a Pharmacy Technician has taught me so much from taking care of people to listening to them praise me on how much I have helped them (it's such a wonderful feeling). If I didn't have a Math disability and be good at Chemistry and the other sciences, I would go back to school for Pharmacy but unfortunately, I am not good at any Chemistry and Math so I am going to go back for Nursing. It's the next best thing and plus there's a high demand for them just like Pharmacists so it's all good!
OK, I guess I am done now. Nothing more to write. I think no I know that this is where I am going write my blogs from here on out. I may write some on MySpace or Facebook but then again, I think I just may stick to this from now on. Take care everyone and God bless!
