Stupid chili dog!

I have not really felt well all day today. I was up sick during the night last night and I think it was due to what I had for dinner (the afore mentioned chili dog). Right after I ate it, I started feeling bad. My stomach has been doing flip flops all day. I am starting to feel a bit better now, and hopefully by tomorrow I will be back to normal. However, I have pretty much decided that I'm going to call off of clinicals tomorrow. :o

I am on FIRE!

Ok, maybe not literally, but it feels like it. I am pretty sure it is hotter in this classroom right now than it is outside. Newsflash: it is not winter, therefore, this should not be the case.

Boo!

Went to see my oldest daughter in her choir concert this evening. She had a solo in the very last song of the concert, and wouldn't you know it, right before they began that song, the fire alarm went off and everyone had to leave the building. So, they didn't end up doing the song. She was very disappointed, as was I. She had practiced so much and I was really looking forward to hearing her! This was their last concert of the year, too. Bummer.

So, yeah...

I'm seriously considering some major facebook cutbacks. There are just some people whose updates I am not sure I can continue to endure. Not to mention, several people I just don't care about. :o

Retail Therapy

I got to get out today and do some shopping. I ended up getting some new sunglasses, a cute new purse and checkbook/wallet in fun colors for summer:



I freaking love getting new purses! I know, I'm such a girl.

I also picked up some yummy-smelling hair stuff from Vicky's. I already took a shower and tried it out. Not only does my hair smell delicious, it's really soft too! Now I just need to schedule an appointment for a cut and some color. :)

=/

I seriously just want to cry.

Yum!

I just made stuffed peppers for the first time ever. De-freakin-licious! (if I do say so myself!)

So much to do

I just finished pulling a crap load of huge weeds out from around my bushes, and now I should really be working on my paperwork for clinicals that I have to have done for Friday. However, I have a dishwasher that needs unloaded, vacuuming that needs done, and laundry that needs folded and put away. Not to mention, I really just want to go to bed and sleep for about a week straight. :o So, why am I sitting here blogging? Ok, back to work!

Pup pics

Nothing really new to blog about, so I'll just update a couple of recent puppy pictures. :)

Going for a ride:


Laying in bed with me this morning:

(She does still stay in her crate at night, because I don't trust her to not be destructive, but she always comes in to see me once my daughter let's her out in the mornings.)

Laying with me now, while I study:

Hmm...

I'm beginning to wonder if it really is allergies that I'm dealing with right now or a cold. Perhaps both. I am starting to feel achy all over. Blah!

On top of that, I don't know what my problem is, but I have been on the verge of tears constantly recently. I find myself holding back tears several times a day over silly things. Maybe it's just a combination of hormones, stress, and feeling sick. I don't know, but it's getting old!

ACHOO!

Dear allergies,

Die in a fire!

Thanks,

Lo

Really?

Can somebody please tell me why the girls in my class like to turn the thermostat up to 78-80 degrees in the classroom with the door shut? Oh. My. GAWD. It is so stuffy in there I can barely breathe and they are sitting there freezing. Are you kidding me?

Oh joy!

Well, my oldest daughter is having leaking issues with her monthly visitor and my son won't stop throwing up. Happy Mother's day to me!

So tired!

What a long day! Clinicals were quite tiring today. Now time to get some sleep and tomorrow start working on a paper that's due on Monday. :O Maybe I'll go try to get some work done at the library tomorrow.

Craziness!

I really feel for my son's kindergarten teacher. She has 19 students in her class this year...17 of which are boys. Dude! That is crazy! I didn't realize just how rough she has it until Sunday, when half of my son's class came to his birthday party. Fortunately, the party was at a bowling alley and not at my house. Phew!

Puppy update: I had her to the vet on Saturday for her last round of vaccinations (except for one booster in a few weeks). She is up to around 30 lbs, and still has a long way to go. She will likely end up between 60-70 lbs. She will be passing my son up in weight before long! :o

I also signed her up for obedience training. The first class is tonight. For whatever reason, we aren't supposed to take the dog with us for the first class. I will, however, be taking my daughters with me to the training sessions. I think it will be beneficial for them to see how they are supposed to be reinforcing and disciplining the puppy, and hopefully help her training go more smoothly.

Then, it is home to study some more. I had an A&P practical yesterday, which I did well on. Tomorrow is the second microbiology exam. EEK!

I feel bluuuue

Srsly, I need to shake this funk! I am feeling very overwhelmed, and stressed, and, well, blue. It doesn't help that school is kicking my butt right now, either. Sigh...

Forget

I came across this poem today. It made me sad. :(

Forget

By Anonymous


Forget his name, forget his face,
Forget his kiss and warm embrace.
Forget the time you spent together.
Forget it all he is gone forever.

Forget the fact that he once cared,
Forget the love that he once shared.
Forget his love that once was true,
Remember now there is someone new.

Forget you cried all night long,
Forget him when they play your song.
Forget how close you once were.
Remember how he chose her.

Forget you memorized the way he walked.
Forget the way that he talked.
Forget the times he made you mad.
Remember how he made you feel so sad.

Forget the thrills when he said, Hi!
Forget the times he made you cry.
Forget the way he said your name.
Remember now he is not the same.

Forget you saw him yesterday.
Forget his gentle and teasing way.
Forget the things you had planned to do.
Remember now he is not with you.

Forget the times that went so fast.
Forget it all it is in the past.
Forget he said, I'll leave you never.
Remember now he is gone forever.

Forget the past that I once knew.
Forget it all leave it too.
Cause he no longer loves me...
..He loves you...

Bummer!

I found out at clinicals today that we won't be allowed to rotate through the OR at the hospital I'm at this quarter. Apparently they can't accommodate any more students right now because they already have student nurses from another school in there as well as some student surgical techs. So, I am really bummed, that was what I was looking forward to the most this quarter! :( One of my classmates that is at the other hospital got to sit in on an open heart surgery yesterday. Blast!

Day off?

I have a day off of school tomorrow! However, I have to go to the dentist in the morning (for my cleaning and hopefully get my filling fixed). Then, I have told my grandma I would come out and help her do some more packing. She's been asking me when I will be able to come help her again. I was out there for a large chunk of last Saturday helping her. She has SO much stuff! Yesterday would have been her and my grandpa's 53rd anniversary, so they've had a lot of time to accumulate things. My SIL and I were throwing a lot of things away when she wasn't looking. :o But, there is still a ton of stuff to go through and pack or get rid of.

Next Thursday is her moving day, so apparently I won't have next Thursday off either. :/ Oh well, whatcha gonna do?

Btw, my phone just turned on...maybe there's hope for her!

Oh no. I. DI'INT!!!

Yeeah, soo...I dropped my iPhone in the toilet today at school. :( How? Well, I got up from the toilet and flushed and I had my phone in the waist pocket of my scrub top. My shirt was kind of flipped up as I was pulling up my pants and for whatever reason, I was standing kinda sideways in the stall. As I flip my shirt back down, the phone goes flying out of my pocket and right into the friggin' toilet! I immediately plunged my hand in there and got it out and at that point it was on. I dried it off as well as I could and it seemed still be working fine. However, after about 2 minutes, it just went dead. That's just faaaan-freakin'-tastic!

So, unless by some miracle, she dries out and starts working again, I am currently phoneless. I may or may not be able to transfer my sim chip into a crappy old phone, but I have gotten so used to having access to the internet at all times, (except during clinicals, of course) especially for getting directions! I am going to be so lost without it. Sigh!
