Yep..No doubt a learning experience.

So Friday I did my clinicals in Ark City at the hospital from 7am to 3pm. Left and picked up Carlee and Rene' from school dropped Carlee off at the house, dropped off Rene' came back and grabbed Carlee to meet her dad at 4 in Ark City(yep back again). I came home for a bit then went to Susans for her and Diann's birthday home at 8:30 in bed at 9.
Saturday was my 7am to 3pm shift here at the Winfield hospital but I stayed until 5:30 to watch a heel stick on a little baby girl not even 24 hours old. Poor little thing. But I have learned alot and have a lot of notes to go over and rewrite. Went to the store took a bath, ate dinner and laid around with Ryan to watch the UFC Fights.
This morning at 7:30 I couldnt move to let the dog out and feed him. At 10:30 I finally got up tried to read but Crop Camp stuff to do. So I did and here I set to snack and be lazy.  Gotta gonna be another long week.

XOXO

Oh who me? Yep Im here

I am here in the midst of my house not looking like the 1st kansas tornado of the year hit it.
I am here to admit that Monday was my only "normal" day this week.
I am here to say "I officially am starting clinicals so look out if you need blood drawn in Winfield or Ark City cause clutzy Skinny Bitch may just be the one doing it"
I am here to admit that I am not a morning person so getting up and out of the house by 6:15 to be in Ark City by 6:30 so I can have Ikes Donuts and be at work by 7 may be scary. Like I may not get my donuts scary because OF ALL mornings friday is the hardest cause I have already worked almost 40 hours how can I get another 8 in? And be cohernent?
I got the ever dreaded Cowley County Community College ID can you say "EEEEWWW" after the 2nd take I gave up only a supermodel would look good with a paste white background. Well I take that back a Brazilian super model GAWSH!

XOXOXO

Good Books and Completed Projects

So I completed the task of getting Mrs Cheryl organized on to her Clip It Up. I added the last DYMO label a few hours ago. Not before I made No Bake cookies cause sometimes I work better on deadlines and I had until 7 before this starts Life On Discovery we have been excited about it.

I finished "Such A Pretty Fat" by Jen Lancaster. Here is her site Jennsylvania she is hilarious and so real life and it is a Memoir so ladies its real life and real damn funny.

Off to rewrite my Phlebotomy notes because I start clinicals this week. Lots to post I am sure we will see how well I do in hospitals with women and babies EEK.

Off to update my Moleskine and read as well

xoxo

Whoa Time Passes

It was a busy week with Spring Break and all. Not like I enjoyed much of it except Friday. I did do 2 pedicures on Thursday night for my mom and grandma. I also started quite a LARGE project. Because I love to organize and help people I had a nurse from work Cheryl who bought a Clip It Up (AHEM WE WONT MENTION HOW LONG AGO) and had never even cracked the seal. So she brought it to me as well as ALL her stickers etc and well lets just say it hasnt been a day project. I will be done today and will be able to put the cover on it and deliver it to work on Monday but its been a fun task. Not so much for my dining room table but for me.

Yesterday I took Carlee and Lena to Tanganyka Wildlife Park in Goddard and it was amazing. We did plan to leave by 9 but it was closer to 10 because someone "accidently" let her gecko crawl up under the cabinet and on top of the shell of the dishwasher and by the time I got to the kitchen I saw a tail slipping away. I had to call my Brother In Law Kenny to walk me thru removing brackets and pulling the dishwasher out and there she was snuggled in some white insulation. OMG Carlee was crying Lena was consoling her and I am thinking my husband is going to kill me when he hears about this. It has become a non discussable topic in our house. One day it may be a funny but today and yesterday wasnt that day.

XOXO

Organizational Video!!

Another Video of Me :) arent you excited? Check it out and post your comments or suggestions for her room :)

Yep so called life..

Did you think you needed to come over and make sure I was still alive? Hubby was ready to check that I was still breathing at 11:30 this morning as Blue and I were laying in bed discussing what we "Should" accomplish today and what in actuality will happen tee hee

Tuesday was my final and I am still stalking the online website for my final grade. It went well and now I am just having panic attacks about fitting in 120 hours of clinicals and working as well. So seriously I need to get some sleep now cause I wont be getting much within that time period. 

I finished the book Bright Lights Big Ass by Jen Lancaster. This is the second book of hers that I read and I LOVE THEM!! I laugh out loud histarically if you havent read any of these you should. Out local library doesnt have them nor do any of the Kansas Loan Libraries so I have had to purchase.

I went to Bingo last night with my mom, aunt and uncle and it was so much fun. None of us won but if you enjoy watching all types of very interesting people this is the place for you. It takes all kinds...

So today ho hum what to do? I know I NEED to do laundry, load and run the diswasher, pick up the house but I dont know. Its 12:30 and I am here in front of the computer and find out if todays Caturday on Two Peas in a Bucket is waiting on me :)

XOXO

So in honor of my 33rd birthday which is Monday March 8th we are kicking it old school style. Like the pics? This is the only way I have them. This Layout is from an Aweso"me" class I took at the attic. I cannot even remember how old I was we would have to check with the Mom on that one.  Had a great night with some girls last night, got an awesome handbag from Neiman Marcus from Cheri and the other girls pitched in and got me a gift certificate from Ebay to get a Coach wallet. Wonder how long it will take me to find "the one" Took me forever to decide on the purse and then make the INVESTMENT cause with those it is. But I am happily shopping this morning waiting to get ready. We plan to go visit Ryans dad today in Wichita so keep the prayers going for us we appreciate everyones thoughts its been a struggle for all the family.

XOXO

Yes 4 days!!

Cant believe I went that long and honestly so much has gone on. Ryans dad Kenny was admitted to Via Christi this evening we are hoping that him getting his antibiotics thru IV therapy will help him to gain his strength back to fight this ugly disease he has gotten.

Tuesday was my 2nd to last Phlebotomy class, I am a bit sad but excited about clinicals. I got my stick the first try, the girl who drew on me pulled the needle out with the plunger OOPS and so I went to sit down. Before long I got hot and shakey and the room closed in and....yep I passed out just a bit. I guess I am good at drawing just not a good patient. TEHE

SO Tomorrow night is the PJ Popcorn and Movie/Game night for my birthday so please come in your jammies and have fun with me. IF you cant make it I will post pictures so you will at least get to feel like you were here with us :)

XOXO

Layouts 2009

Now please do not go into shock, I know this is out of the norm for me. But some days I do get the urge to sit down and scan and stitch a bunch of layouts that needed this done and then I decide why not share?  So here we go:

Hello There!

Its been a few days. A busy few days, poor Hubby has been sick all week and at home. Pretty scarey considering what his dad went through. He did eat dinner this evening thankfully and it seems to be staying in the tummy.
I got home from work yesterday and completly cleaned the main level of our house from left to right. It smelled so nice and clean, I then ran Carlee down south to her dads.
Today has been homework day, getting ready for finals, getting my paperwork filled out for clinicals, a little bit of Crop Camp here and there.
Well I hope to be sharing another installment of the organizational videos so when I see it on the Attic Blog I will share it with you.

XOXO

Vampiress:In Training

I FINALLY got to draw blood on a REAL person today! Kathy the nurse at work who normally does the blood drawing allowed me to "practice" on her and I got her the first stick in the arm. Unfortunatly not so good on the hand. Our DON promised she would help me with that tomorrow cause we have lots of those types at our facility.

Wanna say thanks for the posts and comments it gave me the warm fuzzy I was looking for with such a stressful few weeks around the Day Cherry Street house. Ryans still awful sick, I felt bad leaving him puking into the trashcan on my side (TMI YES but did you catch I said MY SIDE) of the bed this morning as I was leaving for work. But it was 7am I had to go I did come home at lunch and bring him 7-Up for good wife measures.

I cant believe its been almost 2 years since we went on our Cruise with my family. Carlee and I talk ALL the time about going back but I have a feeling it will be around her graduation time. Thats 5 years from now but it will come fast and she will also be 18 so it may be one big party between my family and her dads family who all plan on going. But I am telling you I am so ready for my toes in the sand, little umbrella shaded drinks, coconut oil tan and SUN!

Get Organized Time

Organize 5 Here is a little short one of Kathy J's space! Post any questions you have :)

Remembering Whats Important

Sometimes I get discouraged when I dont have comments. Sometimes I think "I shouldnt blog everyday Honestly here at least every other day because what if someone misses something? Well whats really important is this is FOR ME! So its ok if noone posts a comment I guess because all that matters is that when my head is full and swimming it has a place to go. I know there is medication for this and I do take Buspar(thats to keep me from biting peoples heads off and spitting it back out) dont you wanna be my bestest friend now? I had considered writing them down in a journal, ya know cause my latest love is these Moleskine Love but then I would be typing it up for here anyways so whats the point of doubling up my already busy life. I guess now since I got the purse I love I had to find a new addiction, so I go to Flickr ALOT and look at everyones Moleskines and THEY R COOL!! Still besides a planner what else could I use one for? Oh dont get me started; dont EVEN get me started!

I do wanna give a BIG HUGE thanks to Brandy angels were with us when Carole my mother in law decided having Home Health would be helpful until she gets more comfortable with the peg feeding tube. Thankfully she was on call and came to visit them today and I am just so so happy it was her.

I finished the book Precious this morning and WOW. Not sure what else to say but WOW. Very hard core stuff. Amazing but eye opening, even for a girl who works at a Correctional Facility.

XOXOXO

Whoa Guess I needed that!

Since my post on Tuesday I read the book "Dear John" in 3 days!! Thanks for the referral Brandy C. I wouldnt have read it unless you hadnt suggested it.

I woke up at noon 30! Serious! I did get up and take the dog out to pea at 8:30 am and laid back down just for a few minutes. Guess a night out with the girls and sleeping in was in my unwritten agenda and so not planned. I had a blast with Kathy, Elisabeth, Danelle, Vicki Tuaca lol, Christal, Cherie and Ms Diann! Amazing that we all werent scrapbooking. There was TuTu making; posterboard making; computer work and cards as well!

And for my favorite part of Saturdays  Its Caturday! Click the linky and get some good laughs

Kenny was released from the hospital around 2 today and is at home walking and gaining strength back which we are super thankful for. Soon I will be getting him some BBQ! We are having dinner tonight with Lynn and Bryan Felts, and Joanne Romero ready for some good Enchiladas!

XOXO

Family and School

For those who dont know this is my wonderful Father In Law Kenny. I call him KG because my brother in law and the same side of the families name is Kenny too. Still with me? I apologize for the confusion LOL

He is back in the hospital this evening getting more fluids. He was diagnosed with Dissemented Histoplasmosis. Its like a Fungal Infection within your body. His Infectious Disease doctor began his antibiotics but orally and if anyone remembers he cannot swallow he recently has lost 17 pounds in 2 weeks. So now what? We dont know hopefully Dr.Davis; Dr Johnstone and the Infection doctor can help us to help him cause we miss his regular self the one who wants to go go go!

So class was supah fast we went over our homework got a take home study guide, we will take our test next week and get homework then stick some fake arms again WOO HOO!! I AM LOVIN IT!

XOXOXO

Organize~Are you ready?

Here is another installment. http://scrapfunattic.blogspot.com/2010/02/happy-valentines-day.html I hope to post again in the next few days but I got 2 twelve hour days to work plus school so no promises I dont wanna break anyones heart. Dont Cry For Me Divas I will be back!

I finished all the homework yesterday and thank you Dawn for being a member of the Homework Fur Picking Club. Its sometimes a lonely place ya know?

Dinner is done, Carlee is doing her laundry, I am preparing to double check myself for the 3rd time on my mid term test cause just in case I was wrong the first 2 times I gotta be sure :)

XOXOX

Thoughts~Ya its gonna be worth a read

Besides the basics of my weekends lately of Studying, oh and STUDYING and a little more workbook pages and STUDYING. I also spend time pondering as well. Now Now dont run off Im being very serious here.

So as it is does it really matter to anyone else but me that some days the dust puppies(most people like my mom call them dust bunnies but in my house they are made of dog fur) chase me and stick to my perfectly clean white socks and favorite pair of brown Old Navy comfy pants(correct word is lounge wear but not in our house)

Does it gross anyone else out when your dog sneezes on your feet or burps in your face? YEP Serious on this too! Maybe the whole feet thing is it because I like perfect feet and toes.

Speaking of perfect toes once my self given French Pedicure was dry I had to pick dog hair out of em. Yes its best to wait otherwise it screws up your paint job.

Ok so onto something more upbeat in honor of Valentines Day here is some Monkey Love going on in our house. who doesnt love Sock Monkeys?

ITS CATURDAY~

Sharing my favorite Saturday Love with you! http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/mb.asp?cmd=display&thread_id=2962900&pg=1

On a NOT so much lighter note someone in the "Hood" we live in chose to egg my car and the house. I just washed my car yesterday SERIOUSLY! So I got to hand wash it not my favorite thing. UGH!

XOXO

Family and Organizational

http://scrapfunattic.blogspot.com/2010/02/alicias-back-back-againtell-friend.html here is some more organizational treats for you!

Much ado for the prayers for my Father In Law KG. He was diagnosed with Histomitosis. Its a fungus that takes over your body. True we are thankful its not Lymphoma or Melanoma but its brutal on any body. Even a healthy body struggles to get better and the medication is very VERY expensive. But whatever it takes to save his life. That is our goal.

Kathy and I had a girlie night at the movies to see Valentines Day. I WILL BUY THIS MOVIE AND SOUNDTRACK!! It was a great movie and so fun and just a must see!! and buy and listen TEEHEE
SO please post Ideas for more videos, It would help me!

Still Waiting & Vampiress

We are still waiting for the results from KGs biopsy. I appreciate all the support and prayers that are being given. I know we have a long way to go yet, at this point its in Gods hands and we have to let him do his thing. My BFF Mandy always uses the line "Come to Jesus Moment" and I have had a few of those lately. Not just for KG, but Ryan and the whole family. He has a lot of burden on him now.

I got 100% on my first test in Phlebotomy and we drew on some fake arms tonight and that seriously ROCKED!!

Now to bed its 10 I am super tired and another long day tomorrow as well. And tons of homework!

XOXOX
