progress or just sickening?

January 3, 2008

Well, today I decided to treat my kids and me to a small bucket of chicken from

KFC. Hadn't eaten KFC in ... so long that i can't remember when we last got it.

Used to be that my intestines didn't like it, and it's just plain not healthy.

But it was always a comfort food for me, when I'm sad, stressed, worried, etc.

Well .... comfort food no more. I choked down one piece of chicken, couldn't eat

anymore ....... most of the evening I'd been feeling sick to my stomach. Not

nauseous as from food poisoning, but sick from the grease and the fat.

Seems my stomach just can't handle this type of junk food anymore.

That's a good thing ... just wish I could not have bought it at all.

I dumped the rest in the trash. My 9yo felt sick but she ate more of it. My

little one ate a piece but seemed okay (will see how her diapers are tomorrow).

" In other news " .... dealt with a major disappointment this evening when I

learned that the school I hoped to attend for CNA training ... discontinued the

program. There are no other local schools offering this training, so unless my

little one's agency has better information than what I found - CNA training is

out. The social worker suggested becoming a home health aide, which would still

allow me to work with the elderly in a nursing capacity, so I'll see if she has

any leads.

Otherwise, I may have to 'bite the bullet' and consider ford Hospital's

School of Nursing - they offer a nursing diploma for a 33-month program. It's a

lot more work and more intensive than I had hoped for, but it would still be a

way in and possibly would allow me to work while studying to become an LPN.

I hope to visit the school soon to find out 'in person' what my options are.

Would be tough schedule-wise and time/money, but they have options, and they

also have their curriculum listed, which would allow me to download podcasts

from other universities to start learning now on the tougher subjects.

At least I didn't grab the bag of potato chips this time after this news, though

I was still feeling sick from the yucky fried chicken!
