An update

Ok so for all who have been asking me to update and post a new blog here you go.

So as for work things are interesting but getting better. They've pulled me from working from the house for all 5 days so now I just work 2-3 days during the week and the rest of the days they send me to other houses. The nice part is that I trained another nurse today so she can work the days I'm not there. So mom finaly realized I was not coming all the time anymore yesterday. My scheduler called to let her know there would be an orientee coming and she asked where I was and Jodi (my scheduler) said no and mom was like oh I didn't even know she wasn't here till the aide from school knocked on the door to drop Christopher off. Seriously! What the crap! And then today when I got here she asked me twice why I was cutting my hours and I was like I'm not cutting my hours I'm just working in other houses to cover some shifts and they needed a place to put this new nurse. Why would I cut my hours! Hello! I'm actually trying to be responsible and take care of my things! Granted my friends and I have decided that college is the most broke time in anyones life but nonetheless we make things work as much as we can.

So other than that not much is going on. Its started to get seriously cold here. I'm so excited though! I love winter and fall! I just can't wait for it to snow! :) I'm really excited though to be going home for Christmas. I'm ready to go home and be with my family and relax without any real responsibility for at least a week.

Well lets see...I don't think I have anything funny to say that has happened or have any wierd trains of thought in the last few minutes...nope but I'm going to go to bed now so I'll see all you people later.

Odd Things

Ok so I'm having a random day I was thinking of the things that people tell you will happen is you do something and either they don't really happen or they actually do.

For example:
My mom always told me not to lick the knife because I would cut my tongue...I'm 24 now and I've yet to cut my tongue on the butter knife.

Your not supposed to eat raw cookie dough because it can make you sick due to the raw eggs...again I'm 24 and I've been eating raw cookie dough my entire life and I've yet to get sick from it.

If you keep bread in the fridge it doesn't mold like at all!

Even if you don't open a package of meat it can still get freezer burn if you don't put it in foil and put it in the freezer.

Chocolate can go bad..it gets that white stuff on it and it tastes funny.

That not matter how many times Christopher Robin falls or gets into water he never gets hurt or wet! I just watched him fall off a hill edge and he just gets back up with no problems! If I had done that I would have broken something and had a million scratches!!

Those are just some random things that I've been thinking of this morning.

Its going to be a good week! I can feel it!!

Hello everyone! Sorry its been a while since I've posted anything but somehow there is always something that is more important and needs to be done at the time that I finally find to sit down and do absolutely nothing!! UGH!! Can I not have a moment to chill and waste my hard working brain cells on something as mind numbing as playing on the internet!

SO...the amazingly good news that I have to tell everyone is that I got my term paper back this morning and I got all 200 points!! I had a perfect paper! I worked hard and I aced my term paper!! YAY ME!!! LOL!! Yeah so I did the cute 5th grader thing and called my mommy and told her and that was fun for me! Its funny I know but I like sharing the good things like that with mom. Thats what you do. It gives her something to brag about again..its not amazing but to me I'm so bragging about this! I worked my butt off!

Anyway so I promised an update when the dad of my patient came home. Well things have gotten amazingly better as far as life. He is cleaning up the house and getting the cars running and he works! He works so hard and takes time with both his kids. However the mom is like wierder. I have a few pet peeves with her at the moment. Here they are:

1. She spends tons of money on clothes for her and her step daughter but she buys nothing but diapers and wipes for her son. Then the other day she complains because we were gone all day and I didn't get a chance to do the kids laundry so he has nothing to wear. No granted I didn't do his laundry that child has a closet full of clothes that he never wears but they all fit him, plus his chest of drawers is full of clothes that he doesn't ever wear! Ok now he has clothes right..well lets talk about his pajamas situation. He has flannel footie pjs that probably don't even fit him but he has nothing to wear to sleep in during the spring, summer and fall when it isn't freezing cold outside. What mother spends so much time on herself that she doesn't even supply the things that I need to take care of her son?

2. She used to be a respiratory therapist at St Francis hospital and for some reason she stopped and then out of the blue she decided to renew it which is costing tons of money but the kicker is she has no intention of using it. What the crap!!??

Ok so there are only two but it bugs the crap out of me that someone can go from having it together and doing what she needs to to support a family and then suddenly give up. I know so many women that have life long illnesses and disorders with that support familys on thier own without fathers because they simply know they have to take care of their kids. It makes me sick that people use things like disabilities and help as a crutch to do nothing.

Alright I'm done venting. I do feel that this will be a good week. Last week was kinda sucky cuz I was in a funk and then OU lost to CU which was not supposed to happen and then I didn't get to go to church because my stomach was giving me issues. It sucked. But this week, this week will be better! Its already off to an amazing start so I'm going to be an optimist and try and make it better. Oh and by the way we are going to beat the crap out of Texas in the Red river shootout this weekend make no mistake about that!

Cya all later!
