Date night.

So my day didn’t start off so well. Husbands are a total jerk sometimes. I got a call about 5 minutes after he left for work saying, “we need to go out and do something……without the kids.” You know what I think, I think men have PMS also!

The holidays went well. We had our first dinner at 12pm at my mom’s house. We left there, went home and everyone took a nap except me. Then we went to Curtis’s parents. We got there around 4, ate dinner and hung out until about 8pm. It was a long day but it was nice to get together with the families.

Plans for this week:

Finish up clinical for NUR 201 (thank god) Tues, Weds 6hrs/day as school nurse

Finish X mas cards.

Get tree up with presents under it.

Work on two projects that need to be done for christmas.

Clean house.

Keep up with reading.

Play basketball Mon @ 6:30pm (FUn, FUn)

I’ll share a few photos with you. Some are halloween, and others are random. They are new so I wanted to update you on the kids.

First up, TInkerbell. She was so cute!

Trouble maker #2 – Grace. She only looks sweet!

The girls and Nanny (my mom).

These pictures are called A Day In the Park with Jenny!

 

Hope you all have a great day.

Exam 4…down!

Today was exam #4 and thank f*ing god, we only have one exam left. I am so excited that this semester is almost over. I also passed in my 8 page APA format paper on Intimate Partner Violence. It was a hellacious paper, but it’s done.

I still have a few hours of clinical left and I am so ready for a break.

So, today after the test I went to Shirley’’s Yarn and bought Grace and Lily some beautiful yarn. My plans are to knit them both sweaters for christmas, although I might be reaching a little high because I have two other projects I want to finish for christmas. Hope everyone had a great day. I am off to Bangor with mom in the morning to do some window shopping and destressing. Until then, have a great night.

Friday stress…

I just sat down to finish my lecture on Respiratory dysfunction in the child. Wow, I am so overwhelmed, but it’s ok. We only have one test left after this one. I have about 33 hours of clinical left, I figured out today. That makes me really excited. I can’t wait until this semester is over.

Lily went to school this morning. It has been a really hard week here. Grace has been sick and needy with me. Lily has had a fit the three days I have dropped her off to school. I can’t wait until she gets out of that mode.

So, tonight I am going to a “toy” party with a girlfriend. I really don’t want to go because it really isn’t my thing, but my friend really wants me to. Tomorrow, the plan is to get up in the morning and be at Jenny’s by nine, is that ok? We have to get respiratory under our belt tomorrow.

For now, I think I might attempt to read the 200 pages I am behind. Or not….maybe just rest. Hope you all have a good day. TGIF!!

Boring Sunday…

Haven’t done anything today. I originally had all these plans, yeah they never happened.  Still have to do my reading for tomorrow, only have about 20 pages left, so I’m not too far off.  Getting ready to settle down with Lily and Curtis to watch a movie. Have a good night.

Rough Go of It….

Wow, this has been a really hard week. Between having no time to study (which is totally stressful), finally shoving it in the last minute, Halloween projects to do with school (in the end, I just brought the supplies in for the kids to do with their teacher, very bummed about this) not communicating with my husband for 6 days now (don’t ask), being not invited to his birthday party at his parents (curtis’s doing) and just being absolutely exhausted. Does this ever end. Jenny said something to me the other day that is totally true. ” Am I a person anymore? Wow, I feel like I am suppose to be some machine with no emotions, no stress, pleasing everyone and not worrying about my own feelings.

Went trick or treating last night with the kids and him. The girls had an ok time. We didn’t get going until about 6:30pm, so it was a late night. We only went to four houses and that took us 2 hours. Got home, called Jenny to let her know we weren’t going to be venturing to bucksport. Lily and I feel asleep about 10pm.

Today there are no plans. Girls are going with Curtis to bday party at somewhere around 5 I am guessing, because I still have no details about the party. I am going to take that time to read my chapter in Kyle and straight A’s. Gotta try and find a simple a and p guide to the heart, as when I hear the word heart, my brain shuts down. I have a love hate relationship with the heart, if you couldn’t tell.

Hope everyone has a great day. Nikki
