Learning patience

Oh my what an interesting weekend we have had. It seems that bad things wait to happen until you have limited resources. On friday Jamie broke his only pair of glasses and had to go get an eye exam and a new set of contact lenses, which coincidentally drained a large portion of the funds in our bank account. However, there was some good in the bad, fortunately Jamie was able to get a free pair of trial lenses to hold us over till payday, so he can see :) On Saturday I had a wonderful afternoon going to the park with our neighbors to play. We threw the frisbee, baseball, and a random tennis ball, and Jamie let the kids chase him around the park tiring both him and the children out completely. Sunday my jeans tore from the belt loop down to the leg of the jeans. This was a rather odd occurence considering I had bought the jeans from a trusted company, and they were only a couple of months old. Fortunately the company exchanged the jeans, and the only catch was we had to bring them to Jackson. Weellllllllll we took them to jackson and on the way back, what happens, we have a flat tire. Somehow in there, we managed to get in touch with family and my mom helped us get a tire for the car, so we managed to make it back here by monday afternoon, and here I am in the library working on homework (or managing to avoid working on it). All in all it's been a pretty interesting weekend. In the midst of our unfortunate occurences we had some good things happen. Jamies glasses broke yes, but he's been wanting contacts for a while so now we have a prescription for both new contacts and glasses. The tire went flat yes, but as a result we got to visit with my family and I was forced to relax without my books. So somewhere in our seemingly bad luck I'm learning patience and how to look at the brighter side of things. Hopefully this week will continue looking at the glass half full.

babysitting

I kept my neighbors little boy tonight, and we made cookies together. I have enjoyed an evening watching Charlie Brown and A Troll in Central Park with a 3 year old, and a fish. This poor fish, it's a miracle I noticed it when I did. Stacey has been rather busy lately and she forgot about this poor fish and he was sitting in a tupperware bowl where he's been for a couple of days while she was intending to clean out the fishbowl. We cleaned out the bowl and freed the fish from the tupperware, and I swear I saw the fish smile. He was so happy he just swam around in his big bowl as if he was celebrating. Following the freedom of the fish, I am currently working on homework and I decided to take a break and blog a little bit. Talk later

Another busy week

Today is the start of another busy week for me. I had an enjoyable weekend visiting with friends, and we went trick or treating with our neighbor and her son. He wore a blow up frog suit that was adorable. I've started my adult health III clinical rotation so I'm hoping that all will go well with that. I think I'm going to learn a lot with my clinical instructor. I haven't updated my blogspot lately so I apologize, but things have been busy! Hopefully this week will be good for all including me! Everyone remember, tomorrow is Nov. 2, GO VOTE!!!!!
