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...
