A brief little update!

I received news by my teacher today that I have been placed on some mystery unit at my sponsoring hospital for my practicum. Which will hopefully help my chances of getting some visibility and getting hired at that unit, too!

My teacher cannot release the information since only 2 out of the 25 people in my class have placed. (killing me! I want to know now!)

So I am praying for either Emergency Department, ICU, or Telemetry (in that order)....

Yay!!!! Things are moving along.

76 days until I have my BSN.

I am starting to feel a little better, I think! So yay! My stomach is still.....irritable. But, it is doing a little better. Maybe the antibiotics I'm on are actually doing something! (fingers crossed)

And Ryan is back, and he is like a different person!! After he graduated - had guard annual training for a week, was sick for the following week, was in North Dakota/Nebraska for the week after THAT...............And now life is getting back to normal!

I have not seen this man this relaxed and normal since............January of 2008!! And work is going really well.

We have 3 tomatoes that have turned red! Triplets!!!

Life is good.

We have a fun date planned tomorrow night. Sushi, and then a networking event at the city Art Museum. It's a suit/cocktail dress kind of affair.

I have no idea what I will be wearing.

Yikes.

I am no fashionista. This sucks.

Have a great weekend, all!!!

That is super about your practicum! Congratulations my dear! And you better watch out about that sushi on your stomach! Dad says just eat the rice! Have fun and stay well!
Sounds like a fun night. You could wear the gray dress you wore to Ryan's convocation ceremony? I thought that was very cute & classy. Good luck w/ the outfit selection, I am sure you'll come up with something great.

I am glad Ryan is getting a chance to relax. It's a wonderful thing to 'just' work. I felt like a huge burden was lifted off my chest when i finished grad school!!

Have a wonderful weekend. I hope your stomach is back to normal very soon!
Oh, and congrats about placing! 2 out of 25 - wow!! So proud of you. Can't wait to find out where you end up!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c
