All is well....for now

So I went to the dentist today for the first time in like 3 years and of course everything went beautifully! Even after not seeing a dentist for 3 years I have nothing that needs to be worked on. Though I guess that doesn't really have anything to do with the dentist but more to do with me brushing my teeth but none the less! With all the junk I eat and sugary stuff ingested in my body I was kinda shocked. She did say I need to floss more...UGH!! I hate to floss! I never have been good at it. Oh well I guess we'll see what happens.
I'm so glad that finals are next week! But even more happier that I don't have class this week because my teacher I guess decided he was done with what he had to teach us so that leaves more time to sleep and study! YAY!!!
Well anyway, thats about all thats going on here. We were under our first tornado watch for the season today and it was pretty nasty outside but we never saw any action which is probably a good thing but still maybe just one tiny tornado would be nice....Nah!
I am proud that I got my to do list done today! YAY!! Doesn't happen very often but it did today and I even had time to clean up the kitchen! Woohoo! I'm on a roll!
Cya'll later!

I don't get paid enough!

Ok I totally don't get paid enough to do what I do at work! I'm supposed to take care of a 3 yr old boy making sure he gets his meds, a bath, diapers clean, played with, to his doctors and therepy appointments, do his laundry etc. Unfortunatly I also have to care of his mother who is 41 years old and can't seem to take care of her own self or her kid while I'm gone! I'm being dramatic you say? Oh no let me give you some examples.
Not to many weeks ago she called me at 6:30 in the evening asking me if her son needed to be fed...he was supposed to be fed at 5pm!!! She even sometimes forgets totaly on the weekends! And don't get me started on the fact she doesn't change his diaper for hours and hours.
Another example...He had surgery last year and has to see the doctor who performed the surgery every 3 months. Thankfully he comes down from OKC to Tulsa to do a clinic once a month. So I had to be at the house at 5:30 so we could get BE THERE at 7. Oh no I had to wake his mother up twice before she finally got out of bed at 6:15 and then when we finally left we had to go back for the cell phone, then stop for gas and get her something to eat, then drive down town to the hospital. Needless to say we were 25 minutes late.
And then this morning which is which was the straw that broke my back. I get there and as usual his clothes are all over the floor along with syringes, empty formula cans and feeding tubes. But to add to that is an empty basin with soap, wet rag, and his wet t-shirt in it, a plastic bag with 2 poopy diapers in them, and the floor and his blankets are SOAKED with water. Mom of course is asleep so I got no explanation or warning till I stepped in it. So when I woke mom up to ask she starts laughing and said well not to long after you left (I leave at 5) he had an dirty diaper and his tush had broken out and was bleeding a little so she wanted to wash it with hot, soapy water. Well she didn't put it up and the kid flipped it over spilling the water and then tried to mop it up with his shirt. Well she thought it was cute and funny. I however was soooo pissed! If it happened not to long after I left yesterday why was it not cleaned up!? I had to clean it all up! And then when she came out of her room and saw I'd turned the fan on to blow on it to dry the floor and his blankets (I couldn't throw them in the dryer cuz of course he's asleep on them) she goes oh! I didn't think of that! OMGOSH!!! This woman is UGH!!!!
I really do wonder how they function on the weekends when I'm gone! The house is always a disater when I get back on Monday!
I don't get paid enough to take care of a 41 year old mother!

Ok I feel a little better.

Its the begining

So I guess I decided that I should join the mass and begin a blog of my own. Unfortunatly I'm not as creative as some but I will give it my best shot!

Not much has been going on lately. I did have a doctors appointment this afternoon which resulted in X-rays, drugs and a outpatient minor surgical appointment. But for those that know and love me don't worry I'm just having some abnormally looking moles removed, though I'm sure they will do biopsies to be sure that everything is ok I'm certain everything will turn out fine...at least I keep telling myself that so that maybe I won't freak out.

On the plus side the semester is nearing an end and I couldn't be more happy! I'm so ready for the summer to come! I think I will definitly cut my hours back at least to 40 that way they have to find someone for when I start school in the fall...if I start in the fall. I'm still waiting on that freakin letter! I keep calling and calling and all they say is soon, soon you will know. Well soon was supposed to happen before Spring Break! That was two months ago!! UGH!!!! The anticipation of excitement is giving way to anger and frustration so when I actually get the letter it will be either bitter dissapointment because I wasn't accepted or relief and not very excited because I'm tired of waiting for the yes to come.

Anyway I think I'm done for now. TTYL!
