Well, I don't think I will HATE it.
First day of work went alright. I know I can do this kind of work. I mean, I have five kids I have been wiping and bathing for the last 13 years. Last night wasn't much different. Just older people.
I am having a hard time with the invasion of privacy thing. I mean, I know I knock to go in to their rooms, but it's still weird. Or with helping them go to the restroom, it's such a private act to me. I wonder how these people feel to be in the position to need so much help with such normal daily living.
I will tell you that I really didn't do that much last night. I followed one of the other CNA's the entire night. I am sure I will be doing more tonight.
My biggest struggle right now is so much time is taken out of my weekend. I am not quite sure yet how to juggle everything. I have a paper due on Wednesday and I don't have time this weekend to write it.
School and work and five kids is a pretty big struggle. I don't know how people go to work full time and school full time and then take care of kids and home.
I have to brag about hubby for a minute. Last night when I got home the house was clean. I mean, CLEAN. He had done laundry, cleaned the kitchen, and mopped the floor. He had even gotten on the kids about their rooms. It was really nice to come home to a clean house.

I'm glad work went well. I don't know if I could do what you are doing in helping people go to the bathroom and stuff.
I'm proud of Brandon!!
WOW! He's hired. . . send him over :)
That kind of work would be hard for me too. They are lucky to have someone empathetic.
You're my hero! Seriously. I don't know how you're doing it, but I think you're amazing!
Remember, there's a transition period with everything. Give yourself time to get used to it all. You'll be great!
Thanks guys. I know it will take time to get used to it all, but boy, it sure would be easier if it were all perfect right away. :)
