Bruce has a game he loves to play... one that Mommy and Daddy aren't too fond of. We like to call it "Rapid-fire Diaper Durby". The rules? Bruce has to poop his pants as soon as possible after the fastening of a new diaper. The prize? A stench unlike any other...

Aside from changing stinky diapers and feeding my bottomless pit of a son, I've found that Life has settled into a fairly stable routine. I take Steve to work in the mornings, and then Bruce and I spend the day together. Around 4:30, we leave to pick-up Daddy from work and play "Swap the Son", while I head into work for about 4 hours. At that point, I go home, feed Bruce, and head off to bed to start it all over again.

Since being a full-time Mom and part-time employee didn't seem like enough stress (both good AND bad), I decided to add "student" to the mix! I'm taking a Medical Coding & Billing certificate program through Penn Foster - online - with the hopes of finishing by the end of June. I started on Feb. 28th, and there are 44 lessons... so that's definitely a lofty goal. Not only that, but I'm planning to take one online class per Quarter through my work at the University. I'm currently enrolled in their Bachelors of Arts in Management degree, so I might as well make use of it while I'm still here, right? Who knows... I may change my mind about this last one.

Medical Coding & Billing, however, is a definite. Sure, it's not my first choice in a profession, but the healthcare field is one field that is guaranteed to grow like crazy (hello, Baby-boomers!). That means definite job security, good pay, and the ability to find a job in that field just about anywhere in the country. I'll be testing for my Certified Coding Assistant (CCA) certs once I've completed this program, so that should help me stand-out when looking for a position.

I think that's it for now. I got my three wisdom teeth pulled yesterday, so the happy-happy Oxycodone they have me on for pain is starting to kick-in...
