Headed to TX

I am thankful for so much this season. You my friend are one of those many blessings!

Satan works overtime on Sundays

Atleast that is how it feels today. I got up & went to church this morning (by myself) & went from church to the grocery store where after shopping for an hour+, I unload all of my groceries, and the lady in front of me basically throws a fit about some pharmacy coupons, so my checker left with the lady to go to the Pharmacy! About 10 minutes or so the manager comes over & I tell her what happened she clears the ladies stuff out of the register & starts with me.
After getting everyone to help me unload from the car into the house I start to put away the groceries and Honey says "hey why don't you defrost those dumplins in the freezer from last Thanksgiving" Ok...Call Cindy and get directions for the best thawing method. I need chicken broth..Ok I'll go back to the store. This whole time no one has eaten lunch & they are just sitting watching movies...meanwhile I am doing laundry & dishes & trying to figure out lunch for them. Then EM says I don't have a present for the bday party that is today at 5:00....
I head to the store get chicken broth, come home make spaghetti for lunch & start the defrost for tonight. After all that I get on the computer to finish my clinical paperwork. (All the while still doing laundry). Then take EM to get present & to the bday party it starts at 5:30 not 5:00..well atleat she's not late. Then KT & I head over to Kohl*s for Honey some socks since the socks I had to rush out & buy the night before his trip to St. Thomas "sucked" as he put it! I did however buy me & KT some sweat suits to wear to Disney! Shopping always makes me feel better!
Now we are at home eating chicken & dumplings YUM! and dressing YUM! I will leave to go get EM from the bday party about 7:10, and then head back & finish up the last load of laundry!
I just get so frustrated when it seems like I am the only one who does anything, except make messes..ya know? These people CAN clean up after themselves!
Thanks for the opportunity to vent!
I'm done, blog with ya later!

So things have kind of slowed down as far as family matters. This is probably due to school taking up the majority of my time. Which you can read about here.
Well some things have happened this week. EM started karate Tuesday & Thursday nights. This is something her & her daddy will do together, that will replace gymnastics.SHe is really enjoying it so far. KT had her first sleepover since moving to MS. She is finally making friends & I am so glad. Her Friends name is the same as her sister so that is fun! Other than school I did not have much else going on. Honey's flight from St. Thomas was delayed so his connecting flight to JXSN was delayed. Then when I got to the airport (at 12 midnight) last night I was the only car parked at the unloading/ loading row & was made to circle the airport by JPD. WHATEVER so I go park & wait about 10 minutes then go back & there are about 8 cars parked in loading & unloading so I pull up & wait. Honey comes out leaves his breifcase & goes back in to wait for the other baggage. One of the bags was "lost" so I waited some more. I end up the only car waiting, and was made to move again. This is at 1 o'clock in the morning! I was not causing any trouble ( I know hard to believe) sitting minding my own business, no other cars around, plenty of room for anybody else to pull up and load/unload if necessary but NO I had to circle some more! RIDICULOUS! That JPD officer was lucky that I was just so glad to have my Honey home. ( I know I'm so scary! LOL) I am not a middle of the night person, and it took alot for me to not tell him what I was thinking. But I wanted to come home & sleep in my bed & not have my first jail experience! Especially in this city! So we got home about 1:30!
Ok now that I have that off my chest....whew I feel better!
Today we went to pick KT up from her sleep over & then went to Sonic for a late breakfast, and then shopping for a wedding present. One of the sales girls from Honey's work got married today at 4:00. So we went to Target! Oh how I love that store! I purchased the wedding present & wrappings! I even bought Amy's Christmas present, and a paint your own mini ornament kit. Then we came home and watched The Muppet Show DVD (which we got from Blockbuster online) Honey was so excited to watch with the girls & they really could care less, and he was so exhausted he fell asleep! (Honey & EM are watching the DVD now) We then went to the wedding & are now home. I have some more paperwork to finish to turn in Monday morning. I think I'll do that tomorrow afternoon!
Hoeny will go out of town again Wed & Thurs this week & then we will head to TX for My bday & Thanksgiving.
I hope your week is a blessed one filled with love!

It's been a while..

So life is hectic here as it is with most of you! I will try to catch up on our "happenings" and be better at posting in the future!

Well maybe I should start from today & work backwards...
This morning we drove Honey to the airport so that he could travel with his work to St. Thomas. If you remember this time last year we went for a week to Curacao. This is the "sales incentive" trip for this year. I was unable to go due to clinicals this week...I'm quite sad about it but I knew going in to Nursing school that there would be sacrifices & this is one of them. I keep telling myself that one day when I'm a nurse I'll get him to take me back to St. Thomas on a vacation, and he'll know what to do & where to stay.. I can hope!
Then the girls & I came home & went back to bed. I took the girls out to lunch & then spent the afternoon looking at Disney stuff online for our Christmas trip to Orlando.
Yesterday, Saturday I watched college football ( glad I did not get to watch the Aggie game like I wanted too~ sounds like it was ugly!) I went to the grocery store & made Honey's favorite dinner & went to B&Noble to meet Karen Kingsbury! My favorite author here is the picture I took with her.
Then I had to go buy some last minute things for Honey's trip. And of course in the midst of all of this there was the normal stuff like laundry, dishes...
Last week was our first week of clinical Wed. we went to pick up our patient information & intro ourselves. Thursday & Friday 6:30 am - 3:00 pm first real days of nursing!!! I'll have to write details of these days on my nursing school blog..later!

Also Wed night was the annual Mistletoe ball, & after we got home at 10:30 I had 3 hours worth of paperwork to finish before I left for the hospital (which is 30 minutes from my house)

So basically I had p/u pt. (patient) from 1pm-5pm and then got ready for Mistletoe, then Mistletoe from 7-10pm, then paperwork 10:30-1:30am then alarm went off at 5am then clinical 6:30 - 3:00 then a nap then out for our 15th wedding anniversary home about 10 for another 2 hours of paperwork, then up at 5 again for another 6:30 - 2 day of clinical and another nap!!!

The week began with a test Monday morning, and class Monday night.

Last weekend I was suppose to stay home while the fam went to TX for Halloween weekend festivities but I decided on Thursday night to go with them! I missed my friends!! So Friday I spent the day of Halloween looking for a costume for the 2 parties we had in TX that weekend...Tip: on Halloween day there are not any good costumes left! We left about 12:30 headed to the Holmes' for trick or treating! Saturday we had an adult day at the TX renassaince festival, and to La Bodega for the Handy Halloween party!

Then 8 hour ride home after lunch on Sunday!

The week before that (10/27-10/29) Monday we practiced for check offs and went over clinical paperwork ( not fun!) then of course class that night. Tuesday class from 8-3 then Wed foley check offs ( these are pass/fail) I passed! I need to be more careful with my sterile field!!

I wish I had decided to go to TX Wed night or Thurs morning b/c I had all day Thursday off!

The weekend before this was the weekend of the state swim meet!

My MIL came to town Friday night.....I'll just leave it at that.

Saturday we left for Biloxi, we met my parents at the swim meet, KT had her fastest swim time to date and won her heat! She is ranked 4th in the state for all of the 8th grade, and 33rd in the state over all! BTW~ she swims on the high school team!

This is huge news for her! She has 4 more years of HS swimming & is well on her way to Olympic Gold don't you think? We stayed in Biloxi Saturday night & most of the day Sunday.

The weeks before this we I just had class & 1 more flu shot clinic. Everyone else it has just been normal stuff!

Honey got a promotion he is now General sales manager (which noone at work was surprised since he has been doing the job for sometime now. Not really more money but definitely the title can be used for advancement in the future!

Looking ahead: this week (while Hoeny is gone) we have class tomorrow 8-12 & 5-8 (Monday) then a health fair Tues 8-3, and Em also has her first Karate class Tues night... Wed meet new patient & the hours of paperwork... Thursday 6:30 -2:30 clinical day.... off on Friday!!!!!

Honey comes home @11pm. Saturday Honey has a sales associate that is getting married!!

Like I said life is hectic here..like I'm sure it is for all of you.

Well this enough for now!

I really will try to be better about posting in the future!

Now I'm going to check in on alll of your blogs...
