CHRISTMAS TIME....... 2009 is almost OVER

Yay the year is almost over, closer to graduation. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family around me. We had our ugly sweater christmas party at my friend Leslie's house and OMG so much fun. I love laughing and i swear that is all i do is laugh when im around my girls.

You take alot of things for granted until you sit back and think, what if those things & people werent there... and things could be so much worse. I am even thankful for my job, that i hate so much haha. It has not only taught me patients, but taught me alot of responsiblity. ive had to sacrifice friendships and family time and holidays and cuddle time with Kris and Daisy, but it has really made me know that i am dedicated and I can do anything. These two years has really been hard but yet so worth it. Cant wait to see where life goes in 2010. Really ready for Babies and a RT job... hopefully at shands... in the ER. I love working in Trauma. Its where i am most comfortable. I love the adrenaline. I really hope i can find a job right out of graduating.

I see the Light

I finally see a speck of light at the end of the tunnel. Its so close, but not too close just yet. I just updated a 2010 calendar with all the events taking place, and It just seems like Its finally getting here. I just got over my yearly bronchitis spell and for some reason, taking a break and relaxing this past week has really given me my energy back and im more positive than i have been lately.
Things are just coming together perfectly. I am in a great mood and I am so thankful for my husband who is just as hard headed and stubborn as me, and I am so thankful for my crazy, funny & majorly dorky friends. I love laughing all day at the SOH with them. As much as Im not going to miss school when im done, i will miss the people who have made my days wonderful, who have laughed with me, cried with me, laughed at me, and embarrased the crap out of me ( leslie) . I love each one of them and I am so glad for each one of my buddies.

2010 events:
ATL trip- Radiology conference
Trying for a baby
3rd wedding anniversary
graduation day- No more school
Job making money $$
My 26th bday (eekk)

The Holidays

Loving this time of year. Kris, Daisy and I are going to Live Oak for Thanksgiving. Im so excited to be off work and School, And even though Money is tight, I am still ready for Christmas, I love putting the tree up and just the smell of the season. Its just peaceful for some reason.
School is dragging, I mean i love it, but I want to graduate already. Time for Changes to be made.

so....

Been a while since I Posted anything, School is still awesome, work still exhausts me, and still counting down the days till graduation. I cant wait to be done. I am so sick of working for free. I love what i do, but just ready to embark on my career. Also have been doing alot of soul searching, and realizing how i need to just not let things get to me as much. ive been trying to find myself a little more each day and try to figure out the people in my life who are real and the ones who arent. Ones who love me for who i am and the ones who are there just because its convienent. I just want honest, trustworthy, caring friends. How is that so hard. Why is that so hard? Also trying to realize the past is the past and i know people make mistakes, although its hard to forget, I am trying to forgive. One day i want to be a friend, the next day, i dont. Im so torn and Just need to pray about it. Kristopher, still through this school journey has been so supportive, yes a few butthole days along the way lol but he is wonderful, He has pushed me in everyway and Soon we will be ready to have babies and I just cant wait!

WHOOP WHOOP

Im kinda excited this weekend! Its my weekend to work at school..... but that means all day in the ER and TRAUMA. ( sick i know) but I love helping people.
After i get off school, im going to my Stepmoms to visit.... a long MUCH NEEDED visit!!!
YAY!! Hopefully my brother, lee comes too- need to spend some brother/ sister time!!!
This also means I get a good home cooked meal, I seriously should have watched this woman cook when I was a teenager rather than having attitudes and being a brat..
Poor kris has to deal with my hamburger helper and sheppards pie. I will learn one day.....

Im at work... non stop busy night- all drunk woman calling in because there cards... excuse me, un-employment or child support cards.... dont work at the liquor store- WOW!!!!

People..... you complain you have no money but yet instead of saving it, you want to waste it on that! Thats whats really wrong with this world. You cant feed your child tonight and its our fault because there is no money on the card, but yet...the night before, you were out buying beer from the store wasting that money.....

People are so ignorant. I really feel bad for these kids raised in this. I didnt have such a great childhood or people to look up to ( only a few) but i did know i had a choice...follow them or be different and make something of myself and i sure hope other kids know they dont have to end up like that.
I wish people would have faith in there selves and want to make a positive difference rather than drink or be lazy and ruin there life when there is so much happiness out there.
you cant complain or have a pity party for yourself, get over it and move on and make some positive changes and be a better parent or friend or family member than what you had..

venting, sorry :)


going home now to be with kristopher...
I hope he is still up so we can watch a movie!

Had a really nice weekend doing nothing but sleeping in, spending time with Kristopher and Daisy and made some amazing dinners, Well i wouldnt go that far, but they were better than my normal hamburger helper meals. Sunday i actually got to spend some time with all my cousins at my grandmas and it makes me realize how much I miss seeing them all the time.
There growing up so fast. I also did some cleaning and alot of laundry.
I actually got organized and caught up...
It feels good to have some alone time too.

Glad everything is coming together with work, school and just life itself.

MIDSAG

Thank you so much for being there for me and always understanding me.
You are the biggest shoe I know but you do it with such dignity. lol
No really..... you get me and thats hard to do- when all else fails i know i can call you and you listen and even if you dont agree with how i feel , you still make it seem like its important to you.
plus your advice rocks out with its chalk out -
Your family is real lucky to have you as a wife, daughter, sister and mother.
And when all else fails i know daisy will be loved by you , HAHA
Thanks for being there!

haha my song i sing all the time:
" your my LLF, your the one who understands me , loves me till the end"



BTW:
Catfish's catfish says hi
and wants you to take a swipe-, just one tiny swipe-
and then we can graduate tomorrow. thanks in advance! :)

You ate WHAT???

X-ray for abdomen Complete = Chest , erect ab, and supine Ab

Patient is an Inmate-

As i finish up the exam, he was getting back in his stretcher while in his red jump suit and shackles. A tech walks in and asks him what he ate for breakfast because she was looking at my images and saw what he had ate, and the patient said " Razor blades!!" like it wasnt nothing to it. Of course me being the one to always insert foot in mouth and say the wrong things at the wrong time... I said, " I think i would rather have Scrambled Eggs for breakfast instead of Razorblades." Patient turned to me, and said " They dont quite serve that in Jail maam." I felt so stupid. Then I asked him why he did that, he said Because im serving a LIFE sentence, what else can i do?.... i think i will have another bowl of razor blades tomorrow morning too!' I let the cops tote him off after that! :)

This happens everyday, but this was "my first" Razor Eater...

Responsibility................

It sucks, but Its life. I dont get how some people dont realize that people have responsibilites. Some people have bills and nope, my family isnt rich and doesnt financially support me, im a grown woman and support myself. Its hard to have to work and go to school = both full time
But i do it because i have to, because i need to, because its apart of life and even though i may complain... its something that has to be done. I dont get how some people get so aggrevated or say i dont have time for them... Its not because i dont want too, its because i cant!

School from 8:00-4:30 and rush to work, change and be at work at 5:00- 10:30 all week long
Work every other weekend = sat and sun 12:15-10:15 and one weekend a month im at school from 7:00am to 3:30 sat and sunday... and the days i do get off or have some free time, i try and spend it will Kris if he isnt at work...

Its only one more year till graduation and it will be so much better when im done, but it seems everyone thinks im such a bad person because i cant be the Good friend or daughter or BFF or whatever. I cant just up and do like old times or like other people.
Even in school, everyone else gets to go home and hang out and have fun and go to ATL for 5 days and i cant, have to work and pay bills, to me its not a big deal, its my life, kris and i have nice things and work hard to keep them, even while i go to school... but people dont understand that

The new Junior's are coming in the fall, and i cant wait to show them around and help them out and see how lost they are, as i once didnt knowing what kvp was or what mas meant.
I cant wait to see there faces when they see there first trauma, level 1 in the ER rotation, or there first surgery in the OR rotation. I cant wait to see how it feels to be on the other side of the excited yet super nervous feeling. Those days have long gone and past, but still i love every minute of being at school. Not one day goes by, expecially in ER and OR rotation that i want to leave when the clock says 4:30. Im so glad this i have this chance

STUDY STUDY STUDY

Been in Trauma all day working, then to the 2nd job..(ugh) and now ready to go home and study-and wait for tomorrow = NO SCHOOL..(YAY)... study group at my house for Mr. Stiles test...
