Charli Beth's 1st Cricus

Yesterday was my first Saturday off since sometime in September which is alright with me. But it was so nice to have time to enjoy with Charli Beth and my family. We made plans in advanced and headed down to Nashville to the Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey circus at the Sommet Center. A lot of the clown acts were funny to us but got really old and boring to Charli quickly. Just because she isn't old enough to understand. Then came out the horses and the elephants (just like her "ellie" that she snuggles with at night) and she had a blast watching them. I believe she also loved that cotton candy!!! Lol, who doesn't though? We had a blast there and by the time that we left she fell asleep under her clown hat, as we headed to the Rainforest Cafe in Opry Mills. If you haven't ever been there. You should go! We always have a blast, with the lights, sound affects and animals that move every 15 mintues. She didn't eat good at all, but she did love her new cup that her Pa got her! By the time we got home, I believe we were all wore out from the long day!

(heres some pics of the circus)Well, just for a quick update...Just like the top of my blog says this is the story of the life, struggles, success, failures and love...Failure is something that I do not like, something that I dont want anything to do with. But we all must fail and go back a couple steps in somethings. Well, my EMT class...I did wonderful in the class, and in my state practicals, now as far as the NREMT (which you do have to have, and then can let go after you get it..which I sincerely think is incredibly dumb but anywho!) I failed taking it and then I didnt have the extra cash to take it again. I think knowing that I failed the test made me not want to work hard in studying just because I felt that once again I wouldn't do good. I do have that "mind set" about things a lot of times, even though I hate it. But anyways, I have now successfully unsuccessfully let my state practical run out and will have to wait until a class is over and can do them again. Great! So my thinking is..I'm just going to take the whole class again so that I can be sure to be ready and pass the test. Yes, you EMT's may think I'm a little crazy for not passing that test but guess what..I didn't and thats that. I'm just going to strive a little harder this time to get it done. I know I can do it. Anyways, I'm at work by myself and it's been a crazy day, hope you all had a great weekend!
