Just gonna stand there and watch me burn...that's alright because I like the way it hurts....

So I have had the song "Love the way you lie" stuck in my head all day....but...Rihanna was abused by Chris Brown and now she is singing "Just gonna stand there and watch me burn But that's alright because I like the way it hurtsJust gonna stand there and hear me cryBut that's alright because I love the way you lie" Really?


That's like giving the okay for women to be treated like crap by a guy. She is an 'idol' for many teenagers (who are at the impressionable age), and she is pretty much just saying that being abused physically/mentally by a man is okay. Way to go, Rihanna. You suck.


But really, I love the song, I love the lyrics, I love the tune (or whatever). But, you know what? I have been in this situation. But, I was strong enough to get out of it (eventually) with the support of my parents and friends, and many woman can't/don't have the support to get out of it. It is a hard situation to get out of. When you love a person so so much, especially many of the women that have families with men that are physically or emotionally abusive. They want their children to have a 'whole' family, so they stay for their children's sake. You love the person so much, but they are abusive. You say they will change. They don't. They never will, but you keep making excuses, saying to yourself that they will change. That everything will be ok. You just have to stick it out. But NO. NO WOMAN should ever have to 'stick it out', and that is what Rihanna is saying. It's ok if he treats you like shit. It feels good. Yeah, ok. So, maybe I am drastically over-reacting, but I think that this song sucks. It is Rihanna (who was a victim), giving the okay for woman to stay with men who are abusers. This song hits close to home for me, but it is an awful song, for her to be giving the 'ok' to stay with him. Way to go.




ok. enough of my rant. I left Madlayn's George at daycare. I will have to find something cuddly for her to sleep with tonight.


We are going to Paul's tomorrow. Great. Lets go have dinner with my selfish father-in-law and his stripper fiance. Sounds like a fun time. Maybe I should get some of the illicit drugs off them, just to make the time go by better. Sigh. Him and his Heroin addiction/stripper. sigh. wth.  


Going to pick up Gracelyn tomorrow (she spent a week at my mom's so she could go to VBS). Guess she will have to meet the stripper. I have put it off, when we went to meet her once, I dropped Gracelyn off at Grandma Junes. Sigh.


When Vin gets home we are going to the mall to pick up my dad's imac. Which is in my name. When dad went to register my Macbook Pro, he inadvertantly switched the entire account to my name. So, now I own 2 imacs, an ipod, and a Macbook Pro. My dad had to add himself as an authorized user just to drop off his imac. hahaha.


So. This world is going to hell in a hand basket.




I am super excited to be back in the swing of things. 280 is like a real nurse/real situation class. In 110, 120 and specialities we learned all the theory and did all the skills, but that's just it. We were doing tasks (now time to hang this med and do this and give this IM) but now, in 280 we are learning how it all correlates and how to prioritize which pts and do what first and why. It is like an application of skills/theory. Altho, we are learning more of the complicated theory and stuff, but it is a more real life class. Not just "what are the symptoms of Heart Failure and blah blah" it's more like "ok. you have three patients. one has a board like abdomen and PUD, one has a NGT and has green emesis, and the other has coffee ground emesis. What do you do?" (that was a real problem they gave us). It is all about figuring out what they have, what to do about it, and which one is the priority. The first one has a perforated ulcer and would be the critical pt. then next we would go to the 3rd pt. with a lower G.I bleed, and lastly the 2nd pt that has the NGT that is not placed correctly, and prolly a bowel obstruction. sigh. I love nursing. 


I am filling out my application for the NICU. YAY!! I super badly want to be a neonatology nurse. that would be perfect. I would be happy as a bear with a bucket full of honey. Or happy as me with a bucket of wine (thanks, jami. ahha) woooot.


I am getting excited. We are getting emails and info about convocation and graduation!!! It is SOOOOOO CLOSE.  and I passed my validation successfully on the first try today. WOOOOOOOT. I owned sterile dressing. I made it my bitch. wooot. She said I did an excellent job! Who's your momma, now, beeeyoooootch! haha. ok. maybe a little to enthusiastic about that. haha.
