...and his fist ain't been sober since maybe October of last year...

Super duper hot out. Holy crap.

I took the girls to the bounce house today.

Vin was like "why do you ALWAYS have to go somewhere?"

Well. Because I HATE sitting home all day. AND school starts soon, and then my life will be one constant world of stress.

T-minus 2 days.

My parents are coming over for dinner tonight.

My dad is going to take a look at the computer and see why it won't me upgrade to tiger 10.6.8 or whatever I am trying to do, so that I can upgrade to the newer versions of safari and stuff so that I can use the ATI sight at home, instead of having to go to school. I am making Salsafied chicken and rice, and I already made Cilantro salsa, which took an hour to dice up all the damn ingredients. and My eyes watered the entire time from the onion and hot pepper. 

Gracie wanted a piece of the hot pepper. I said no. repeatedly to her. Finally I said "fine. take it", she did. and then cried because it was so hot. I told her. But I wasn't about to argue with her anymore. She does this all the time. Except the time she surprised the hell outta me, when her and Madalyn ate a piece of onion, AND LIKED IT.

(ATI is the people who prepare us for our boards. We have been taking their tests on this website for 3 semesters, and at the end of this semester we will take a 'predictor test' and it will tell us our chances of passing the boards on the first try. Honestly, none of us do very good on these tests. That scares the crap outta me, but we still have a full semester left of learning. Well, Theory. We know all of our "skills", altho ask me if I am confident putting in a catheter, and I'd laugh my ass off. That is the only thing I haven't done yet. I know the steps in my head with the whole 'sterile field' thing, but it's gonna be a whole lot different on a human being. I pray to God, my first patient isn't a 350lb woman. With the man, you can just 'grab it like you own it', but the women....welll.....it's not as easy. haha.

I am bringing my NCLEX review book to study and read on the plane. yeah. I suck. haha. or maybe I will just bring Eat Pray Love, if I don't finish it by then, since I am hoping to do a LOT of sleeping on the plane, since we arrive in France at 2am our time, ready to start the day at 8am, France time. Well, if I want to sleep, then review book it is, cuz that will surely knock me out. haha

I miss Zumba. Bad Romance is currently playing on my itunes. I freakin loved zumba-ing to that in my zumba fanatic phase I was in. It got to expensive. It was 7 dollars an hour, and I wanted to go like 3 days a week. I was going every monday, but then Vin started working til like 7 or 730, and it started at 630, and again at 730. I super miss it. It was a HUGE workout, as well. And then my hips started acting up, I think to much Zumba-ing screwed them up even more. 

My hips 'click' every time I move "wrong". They keep popping outta socket. It is not fun. and then they hurt like hell, sometimes, doing certain activities. haha. I should really see a doctor about it, cuz I am worried it is hip dysplasia. They check for that now in every baby/toddler, but they didn't 20 some odd years ago, but then someone realized that the number of people needing hip replacements at young ages was dramatically high. I had an 18 year old pt. that had a hip replacement. 

I don't miss the ped's surgical floor. Well, I do. But I don't think that is where I want to work. If I end up working at Upstate instead of in the NICU, or L&D at Crouse, I want to be on the Ped's hematology/oncology floor. Hell, if I work in their outpt. clinic (the one Madalyn went to) then I would work office hours. how nice would that be? But not as fun. I like chaos on the floors.  I like to be always busy. I pray I can get into the NICU right away. So, I guess that means I have decided to work at Crouse, and either A) not go back to school for 2 years or B) take out loans for the next two years. I think I def. want to take a year off or maybe just take a couple classes here and there online or something. I am pretty sure I need Organic Chem. for the NP program. Yeah. That will take me 3 or 4 times to pass with a 75. haha. I SUCK at Chemistry. 

I really haven't made up my mind. Maybe I will just apply at Golisono's and at Crouse, and whoever calls me first, wins. haha. I just want to be happy with the floor I am working on, after the hell of nursing school. Idk. I can always switch, I guess. But the training period is 6 months per floor, and a year I think for NICU and the OR. But, I def. don't want the OR. haha. The smell of burning skin is not a pleasant smell I want to smell anytime in the near future. (it smells like a cross between pork rinds and something else I forgot at the moment.)

well. I better go do the loads of dishes (mostly pans) that I have used today. sigh. At least I will get a good breeze.

Until Tomorrow <3
