I have got to get better about updating this blog. Sigh
Most of you know I have a new nursing assignment. I'm a bit worried about getting enough hours to make ends meet but I've prayed about it a lot and I know I need to have some faith. I really think I can do some good on this unit. Cardio is my passion and this is a really great opportunity for me but with part time hours and really not making much more then I was previously, plus loans coming due….I'm a little worried.
So this week I found out that my study buddy from nursing school moved back to Iowa. This would be a good thing except that she left her husband in a different state to get into nursing school and when she went back they had issues. It's sad because she really does love him and want things to work out. I have a feeling he was cheating on her or something but she hasn't really opened up to me about why she came back. I've really missed having her around but it's bittersweet that she is back. L
Then I've been chatting with one of my oldest friends lately. We've known each other since we were about 7 years old and actually we dated as teenagers but stayed friends afterwards. He's a total sweetheart and has been married for about 14 years. He's always talked about her as if she was a complete saint and he knew just how lucky he was to find her. They have three great kids ranging in age from 8-13. Anyway- he's always been one of the innocent flirty kind of guys. Like he can charm just about anyone….or at least he could when we were kids. I remember when he would come to town several of my friends would just swoon if we all got together. Ha ha
Anyway- first she decided that he flirted too much and must be cheating. Then she laid down the law and told him that he wasn't allowed to use ANY terms of endearment for any woman but her. For any of you who grew up down south, you know that it is kind of normal to call people hon or sweetie. I still call people hon all the time. Anyway- she then told his family and friends she thought he was homosexual. Now I have no problem with that at all but I just don't see it. He always had a girlfriend or a new conquest while we were kids. Actually, I think he's even a bit homophobic to be honest with you. It's so weird some of the things she seems to be coming up with. It's funny though, he tries so hard. He's working three jobs and 80 hours a week to pay for their house which she is living in and everything she and the kids need while he rents a room at some home. He just seems so sad and I want to fix it but I can't so I just listen. We were both Navy brats growing up and his dad was a real hard ass jerk. He has some issues that he is going to therapy to work through but his wife refuses to go to counseling with him. It just makes me so sad because he really is a great guy and I want him to be happy. I'm proud of him for trying so hard and I hope she softens her heart to him soon.
Seems like divorce and heartache is just around every corner these days. It all makes me think that I might never find my Mr. Right and will be alone forever….sigh. I don't know what else to do at this point but listen.
