Most of the nursing schools around here cost about that much. They have to teach you computers now as well as everything else because all hospitals do 90% of their work on their computers. So they have to give you a laptop and have a desktop at every desk and my school doesn't charge you if you break a computer. Also our lab is made up to be exactly like a hospital. We have all the same equipment a hospital would have, except dummies instead of people :) What I liked about the school is they weren't just like "Give us your money and don't ask where it's going" they told us what every penny would be spent on.

I didn't want to give Ellie cake for a number of reasons... I don't give her anything that's not nutritional. I believe this is absolutely the time to start healthy habits, and the easiest time. It's not like she felt she was missing out because I didn't give her cake... She doesn't know what cake tastes like so how can she be upset that I didn't give her any? She was perfectly happy getting her favorite assortment of fruits. And, every single person in my family has a diet problem. No one has a balanced diet and someone in every generation has diabetes. Harold's side of the family is prone to illness, so I want to keep her body as fully functional as I possibly can. My great aunt was so addicted to junk food, even when the doctors told her she would die if she continued her diet, we had to put a lock on the fridge and make her meals for her... She still ended up getting her sugary, fatty foods though, and eventually passed away. I'm not much different from her either, and neither is anyone else in my family. If someone asks "Do you want dessert?" No one turns it down... Who cares how full we are, there's always room for desert! I've been doing my best to set an example for Ellie and chose healthier foods but... That's a battle I've failed many, many times. Most people think a piece of cake every so often won't hurt, but it does. You only need to taste it once to get those cravings... and we all get them.
