Randomness

I am already a week into my break from school! It is passing way too quickly! I have less than 2 weeks left. :(

I took the kids to the pool and remembered to reapply my sunscreen, so I did not get fried again. That is always a plus! ;)

I just had me a grilled turkey burger and corn on the cob for dinner. Now, I'm off to change some bed sheets, then fold some laundry while watching a little tv.

BLAST!

I am really rather pissed off right now. I had a bunch of pictures on my camera from this weekend, with some of my family from out of town, and I go to transfer them to my computer just now and they are nowhere to be found! My younger daughter decided to play with my camera this morning to take pictures of herself and the dog and claims that there weren't any pictures on there before she started messing with it. However, I have serious doubts about that...

Ow!

I took the kids to the pool this afternoon, and ended up spending close to 3 hours there. When we left, my back was feeling a little tender, and so I suspected it got a little burnt. Other than my back, I thought I was fine. However, upon further inspection when getting into the shower after I got home, I realised I am actually pretty red all over! Not cool! It's my own fault though, I forgot to reapply sunscreen after getting in the pool for a little bit. :( I am a lobster!

Green piggies!

I've been into buying some different color nail polishes lately. I saw this green color and thought it would be pretty cute, but it wasn't quite what I was expecting. It was more of a sheer color than I was hoping for. After about 3-4 coats, I finally got it to look decent:

(ignore my ugly feet)
I found a more solid color that's similar to it today and bought it, along with 2 different shades of purple. :) Yay nailpolish!

2 more days!

I. Can't. Wait! Just 2 more days then I get a break. I have to keep repeating this to myself.

I had one final last week, and another this morning. Then today I also did my take-home final for Micro, which was 15 questions, but ended up being 5 pages long!

I also studied for my head to toe assessment check off that I will do tomorrow afternoon for nursing lab. Ten freakin' pages of crap to assess from hair and nails, to level of consciousness, to lung and heart sounds, to naming and testing the 12 cranial nerves...etc.

Tomorrow morning I need to review for my a&p lab final that I'll also take tomorrow afternoon. After that, I'll spend the evening getting my study on for my written nursing final on Wednesday. Once that's done I'm off for 2.5 weeks!! Yay!

Almost done

Yesterday, my oldest daughter turned 13! Unbelievable! It was also the last day of school for the kids. As for myself, I still have to make it through one more clinical, tomorrow, and 3 more days of finals before I get a couple of weeks off. I SO can't wait to be done with this quarter. I am very ready for a break!

Now, I need to head to Meijer to pick up a few things...which may or may not turn into me browsing the isles for a while. Then off to bed to get ready to get up early and get this last clinical over with!

My son

I love that kid SO freakin' much! He is so sweet and says some really funny stuff! My favorites of his quotes from today...

After playing with a toy screwdriver: "Wow, I really know how to screw stuff!"

And after dinner: "Mommy, you make the best dinners"...followed by a kiss. Awww!

3 Stores

I went with my grandma earlier to Big Lots and picked up a few name brands at close-out prices. ;) Then we went to Meijer where I got a couple of birthday presents for my daughter as well as some groceries. Now I'm off to do some Krogering! Too bad most of what I'm shopping for is groceries. It's much less fun!

What to do, what to do?

It has been 6 months since I last had anything done with my hair. Even a trim! So, it is time. I made an appointment for this Saturday to get a cut and some color, but I am still trying to decide what to do. Do I want to do something short-ish? Leave it long? Go darker again? Just get highlights? Dark AND highlights? I just can't decide.

It is basically summer time, so shorter and lighter make sense. However, I have come to prefer the look of my hair darker. I hate the way my hair looks in a ponytail. I just can't seem to get the cute and sloppy look with my hair, so a more slicked back look is what I end up having to do, which I don't like. Unfortunately, for clinicals, I have to have my hair off my collar, which means either the nasty ponytail, or I cut it above my collar. :o So, I guess over the next couple of days I need to make some sort of decision!

Aw, man!

I love a good thunderstorm! I find it relaxing to listen to it rain as I fall asleep. I even enjoy a little thunder. However, this storm came a bit too early because I was just about to light up some candles and take me a bubble bath! :(

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!
