Tagged August 20, 2008

I was tagged by The Virutal Voyeur.   So now you must learn sever obscure facts about me, and then I will tag 7 other people to do the same about them.  Be forewarned, I’m pretty boring!

1.  I majored in band in high school.  Nine times.

2.  I love trauma.  Blood, guts, open cuts, bones hanging out.  Oh so cool.

3.  The day after Michael and I had sex for the first time, his lung collapsed.  Damn, I’m good!  Oh, it collapsed 2 more times after that, requiring surgery, attaching his lungs to his chest wall, so they won’t collapse again.

4.  I never have to shave my legs (ok maybe 4 times a year).  But my underarms get a 5 o’clock shadow around 10 am.

5.  I have a butterfly tattoo on my back.   I want another one with three suns (sons) but can’t find a design I like.

6.  I want a Harley type bike.

7.  I’m a picker.  I pick my nails, zits, my kids nails, thier scabs (ewww), my split ends, pick pick pick.

 

Now, seven people I pick from my blog roll  (choosing those not already on the VV’s list):

Frustration August 7, 2008

That’s the only word have right now.  My kids are bugging me.  I ask them to clean up their mess (i.e. a giant red tote that I can fit in, now empty, toys all over), and they say, “it’s too hard” or they are tattle telling on one another every 5 minutes.  I’m doing the best I can NOT to go in there and spank them.  They don’t care if I toss out their toys.  They have no, ZERO, respect for ‘things’.  They have destroyed their room:  carpet is stained with paint and who knows what else, hole in the wall, milk and other crap on the walls, broke one dresser, about to pull the tv down from the wall.   By the end of the week, all they will have is beds in their room.

You Have A BWUT? August 6, 2008

I’m making dinner, running around getting ready for work.  Trying to clean and straighten things so that Mike things I DID something (hmm, wonder if I have him fooled).  I’m in my room, socks and undies on, looking for a bra (wearing all white can be a PITA at times).  Timmy comes in, and with him only being 2.5 years old, I don’t feel the need to cover up in front of him, the other two, I do.  So he says,

Where’s your boobIES?

Me:  right here (I pinch his flabby baby boob)

Timmy:  where’s your weenie?

Me:  *Sigh*

Timmy:   where’s your weenie?

Me:  I don’t have a weenie?

Timmy:  You have a BWUT?

Me:  Yes timmy, I have a butt

Timmy:  You have a weenie BWUT.

Beans, Everywhere Beans August 1, 2008

So for some reason, there is a two pound bag of red beans all over the boys’ room.  It is now a quarter til five pm, and they are still picking them up.  Although there has been more playing, fighting, kicking, watching tv, swording fighting, peeing, needing to ask/tell/share something with me than there has been bean picking.

Boys.

I had my yearly evaluation today.  I did get a raise (WOOT).  LOL, what’s funny was I was evaluated as an RN.  Ok, I have been out of orientation for two weeks?!?!  Oh well.

Speaking of work, last night I was floated to the geriatric psych unit.  I have worked there as a tech and as an LPN, but never as an RN.  The paper work there is completely different, especially the admits.  Of course, at shift change, I get THREE admits.  I called the house super and said that I don’t mind working there, but I don’t know the paperwork!  They said to do the best I could on the admissions.  There are many assessments (mental, cognitive) that I have not been trained fully on to determine the patients level of functioning.  Of course those pages were left blank.  It was a busy night, but a good night.  I had a wonderful RN from day shift stay over and complete ONE of the three admissions, what a  GODSEND!  And thankfully, my LPN and two techs were long term employees of that unit, and already new the patients and of course the way things work. 

And one final thought, as I leave to get ready to work day three of four (what was I thinking).  Another local hospital faces closing.  I know that that link doesn’t show it closing, but they are losing their state funding and close as of September first.  That sucks that those nurses and other staff will no longer have a job.  Also, they had an accidental death this week.  I feel bad for that nurse that made that mistake.  It’s something we all hope we never do.  Protect your liscense people!  We were taught in nursing school to check, check, and recheck!

the Little Penguin, Pinot Noir July 28, 2008

Blech, don’t buy it.  I knew when I poured it that I wouldn’t like it.  The color was thin.  Like cranberry juice.  It tastes very watered down.  Very bland.  BLECH.

My New Toy #3 July 24, 2008

So this should have maybe gone with #2, but I felt it deserved it’s very own!   Inside my new car today was a wee little black bag, which had a wee little black box.  hehe, see where I’m going?  Inside the wee little black box was a wee GOR-GEE-OUS ring!  Yeah Spoiled ME!  I can’t find a good picture of it, nor can I take one, but here is something similar.  Mine is a round, with four stones down each side.  Mine is raised a bit more than the picture, and beneath the big stone, it sits on 6 little round stones.  SO pretty!  I lurve  it!  And I love Michael!  Thank you!!!
