the mysterious bug

Jamie is sick as a dog. He has been laying on the couch moaning and groaning with a fever that won't go away no matter how much ibuprofen or tylenol we throw at it. We're going back to the doctor tomorrow for our second visit in the past three days and we're hoping for at least a diagnoses as to what is wrong with him, rather than just "the mysterious bug". He had a flu test on Tuesday and it was negative, so that's a plus, but the bad thing is we still dont know what's wrong and so he's just horribly sick. Be praying for him and for me (he's very grumpy and even mean when he's sick). In the meantime I'm running around being a diligent little nursing student and making chicken soup and taking care of him in my spare time. Hope everyone else is considerably healthier.

school's back in

This past weekend was my hubbies b-day, and we had a fun little grill out here at the house. It originally was just gonna be the two of us, but somehow it blew up and we had about 10 people here at the house plus neighbors, and for those of you who know just how small my apartment is you know just what a feat it is to fit 6 people in, much less 10. People just showed up, and it was a surprisingly pleasant at home party. Apart from the cake falling apart (frosting covered up the mistake) everything was fabulous and Jamie is now 25 years old. You should all tell him how old he is and remind him that he's now a quarter of a century old. It gets under his skin real good :) I'm having a great semester and I think that things might just be alright with classes. So far I have had no nervous breakdown's or overwhelming assignments and I'm excited about the opportunity to breathe for a couple of months. So hang in there everyone, a couple more months and I might actually have a life again!!

lazy me

Wow, it's been forever since I've updated this thing. I should be very ashamed, and horribly I am not. I survived finals passing all of my classes, some better than others, but nonetheless passing. Following finals I went through an NCLEX review that will hopefully make me better prepared to take state boards. Then we had christmas, new years, and somewhere in the middle of that I have slept like I've never slept before. It's crazy when everything catches up with you just how tired you become. I would sleep 8-10 hours at night and then still take a 1-2 hour nap in the middle of the day. Now that I'm all rested I'm getting ready to start my LAST SEMESTER OF NURSING SCHOOL!!!!!!! YEAH!!!!!!! I'm super excited that I'm almost done. It's really amazing to think that I'm almost there, almost finished with everything that I've been working for. I've got 10 weeks of classes and then I start my precepting at a hospital. So once again in the next 6 months we will have to move. We're gonna have to buy another couch since ours is messed up, so if anyone knows about a good deal on a couch let me know. Other fun things that have happened over the holidays include my mother getting a new car, she's spoiled rotten now, and Jamie's finished with school. So that's what's been going on lately, and I'll be starting classes on Monday, so wish me luck! I only have to endure 10 more weeks and it's DONE!
