About Me:
I am about to start my "hard core" nursing classes that is leading me to the ultimate goal of becoming an RN. I am a mother of two children ages 6 and 3, and have a disabled husband who was injured in an at work accident in November 2005. We are currently fighting with worker's comp for hubby perament total disability and until that eventaully comes through I am also the sole income for our family. I work as a waitress to make ends meet (well as close to meeting as I can get). Also in my free time I am a volunteer EMT for my local community. I have been running rescue for a little over 2 yrs now and I absolutley love giving back to the community and helping out those in their greatest times of need.

i am married with 2 children (6 and 3), my husband of 8 yrs was injured at work and is now disabled and cannot work. I am a full time nursing student, I now work full time to support my family, while my hubby sits sitting on his ass doing nothing and especially not helping out around the house. Once in a while he's helpful but mostly he's a spoiled teenager. I am at my witt's end.
