Just Life and All Things Involved

In the past month.... few weeks....few days.... today.... and right now...this is what has been happening....

About a month and a half ago she turned 6...she may be going on 26....seriously, she tried to convince me she needs a cell phone.

They turned 13 this past month...they may be going on 3....I say that out of love, but they are teens..you understand.

About a month ago I got to spend a weekend with this guy..my dad...

I started school and the last few weeks we started simulation type labs to practice nursing skills. This is us practicing dressing a wound (and yes, that is a butt, next week we do foley catheters..I think you can imagine what that simulation part looks like)....guess what... this simulation came in handy... because the other day I got to dress a real wound that was just as deep and nasty as this one...and it was AWESOME!!!

 These past few weeks I have worked a lot...I work at a skilled care center that has long term care, rehabilitation unit, and a Alzheimer's unit. All units have there pros and cons when working them but overall it has been good.  Lets face it when working with predominately geriatric patients the highlights of the day is when they do this (see below)...I wish I could give them this t-shirt....it would also make my job easier when it came to charting, then I would not have to ask them the inevitable question everyday.....

This is what my google search looks like on my phone over the past week. Please note the third search on the list...I study...I stress.... I want to eat...and eat....and eat so I start looking at my favorite food blogs and then I snap out of it and begin my scholastic search again

 

 

The last few days...well....I hit my wall....I am tired, emotionally drained, exhausted kindof wall...my days start really early and end late with no rest in between...but...like everyone else going through the same feelings and exhausting schedule...you just keep going...because...well that is what you do....

 

 

 

Today I did my weekly cleaning at my in-laws. My mother-in-law is going through chemo for breast cancer...it has been tough going..name it and she has experienced it. Just this week she had to go through a blood transfusion. I love her and my heart aches a little time I see her....she has two more chemo treatments to go....

 

 

Right now....I am sitting on the couch watching Avengers with my family....

 

...and believe you and me....

 

 there is no other place I would rather be........
