Last long day

Today was our last long day of the summer classes. We were there from 0900-1530. It was pretty awful, but tomorrow we have lecture from 0900-1130 and then rehab orientation 1130-1230. Then that is it...what will I do with the whole afternoon off, I don't know, any ideas? I have been talking about taking Noodle to the beach sometime soon...maybe next Tuesday, I have Tuesday off and Super is still at Gail's maybe we'll wake up and head to the beach for the day. Perfect that sounds perfect!

Caity got home last night, well this morning at 0315...she was out for 12 hours straight, but it sounds like today went wonderful today, her first day with puppy Lily. She probably sent me a dozen pictures of her today, she's amazingly cute and Caity is such a proud mama! I am so happy for her. She really seems so excited to have her, I think this is going to be wonderful for her. I think it will enstill a sense of importance in her that I think she needs. Most of us know what it is like to have someone need us and for Caitlin this is the first time and I think it is/will be wonderful. I am trying to find a super cute present for her and baby Lily, the hunt is on. Any ideas?

I leave a week from tomorrow to go to Tennessee with Phillip and Noodle. I am so excited! I can't wait to spend that time with Phillip. I miss him so much, I can't wait to have 5 days...count them, 5 days with him, without work or responsibilities. I know we are going to be with his parents and their friends, but that is ok. I am also super excited to spend time with them, I just want to be able to see Wilson at his home in Tennesse before he passes away. This home has been his and Sherry's dream and it is very important to see him there with her...it will be special. We are also going to go on a scenic train ride, winery tour, white water rafting as well as to a Chattanooga Lookouts game. Can't wait...

1. We made it through hump day...it's almost Thursday--that means it is also Friday, which means I see Prince Phillip.

2. That being proactive is working for me. Today I got all the notecards done up today's lecture. I'll do today's and tomorrow's lectures notecards manyana.

3. That it thought about raining today...maybe tomorrow. It was cool enough though that I got to sit outside on the patio for about an hour this weekend with the Nood.

4. Lab. Lab today was great. I wasn't looking forward to going, but it was wonderful to get a big of a refresher, I needed it. We practiced, central line pushes, which was a new skill for us, but then we reviewed IV piggybacks, IV add-a-lines and then IV volutrols.

5. Animal crackers, I love them. I also bought a fabulous jar to keep them in. They look cute in it. Yum!!

Ha, a night early!

I'm back and I'm twittering.

How cool is twittering....it is much cooler today since I've figured out how to use it. I am still trying to figure out how to get other people's updates but I'll get it. Anyone who has any tips shoot me a message...or a twitter. :)

I'm trying to think of the best way to do this post, I have so much going on (especially since I'm a loser and I haven't posted). School...boyfriend...The Chuch...the boys...life...etc. You get the drift. We'll go in that order and I'm sure I will throw more random side notes along the way.

NP2 is DONE...D-O-N-E...done, done, done!!! I ended up with a B in the semester, not too bad. I really want an A, but we actually lost a lot of people this semester-so I'll take my B and proceed onto NP3. I was dying towards the end of the semester, it was so freaking long and tedious. It was awful. I am excited about NP3 though. I really like nursing school but was burned out from NP2, and now NP3 is a clean slate and another chance to earn an A. I can do it...please cheer me on (I'll need it). I am going to be very proactive this summer. I am going to get my reading for test 1 together tomorrow to get a jump start on at the boys this week. Enough about school.

Oh the boyfriend...oh the boyfriend. We were doing so good for so long. Everything was knock on wood (not like it matters now) perfect. We were blissfully happy then this weekend happened. I am not going to get into all the nasty details of it. We had two and a half good night out of four nights and I left today mid fight. I couldn't take it anymore, so I left. I know that I contributed much if not most of the issues with this weekend, but I don't know what to do. I want things back to the way it was. I've asked for advice before, I'm asking for it again.

Roman Noodle is wonderful. He is with me under the covers right now, he will be coming with me to the boys house tomorrow. I need to wash his blankets and bed to bring with his crate...I'm not sure I'll bring his real crate or just a cat carrier. The boys love him...I love him...he's fabulous.

I go to the Collins tomorrow. Shelley and Bill leave tomorrow and they are actually going to Key West. Because of H1N1 virus, Mexico changed to Key West. I am sure they will have a wonderful time just spending it alone together. I know I will have a wonderful time with the boys. I'm excited. I am trying to mentally prepare myself because I know this week is going to be so tiring. I am going to try to sit down tomorrow and plan out our weeks worth of dinner as well as a weeks worth of crafts. I need to see how much money Shelley leaves for me to determine everything that I'm doing with them. I know there are so many Mamas out there, so if you have any fun craft ideas shoot them my way!

I think I'm going to leave it there for now. I am going to definitely get on tomorrow, share some pictures and all that jazz. Love you all!

Thousand Word Thursday

I really am in a better mood today, well, I'm at least trying. I thought searching through my billions of pictures would bring a smile to my face, and it did. :)

Here is my Roman Noodle, growing up! (Some of the quality is crappy, but they are still super cute!)
