Oh Goodness

Do you ever have one of these weeks, where you feel like scheduling a time to just go ahead and lock your keys in the car? You know -- Since you feel like it's going to happen, with the way things are going?


(I can totally relate to this kid right now...)

Yep. I'm having that in the past 2 days. I'm not even going to start delving into the whole conundrum involving my Practicum schedule - because just thinking about thinking about it makes an ulcer burn deep in my stomach.



But let's just say, things aren't going "my way" with that.'


Today, while working on some final touches to my presentation (Capstone)....I spilled water.

A 32 oz glass of water. Not 1, not 2, but 3 times.

Which means, I was on my hands & knees with the "Sham-Wow" 3 times today.


Then I went to the grocery store. I meticulously spent time on this shopping trip trying to exactly what I need, sans a list, within budget.


I did the self check out, because I hate having to talk to annoying cashiers at my grocery store.

And when it was time to pay.....I realized I left my wallet at home.

So I asked if I could keep my stuff on the side, run home, and get my wallet.

So I did.

I walked through the house, searched everywhere - and couldn't find it.

I then realized....the wallet was in my car.

I returned to the grocery store, and my cart was GONE.


The man who said he'd watch my cart, did not follow through on this - and an employee put all my stuff back where it belongs.

So, I think after writing this blog - I'm going to go and lock my keys in the car. Just so I can say, "Well, that's done!"

...that way, it won't occur when I'm pressed for time.

Maybe if I weren't so scatter-brained.......none of these events would have happened! :)

Thank God this is a day that I don't have clinicals, or Capstone, or a job interview! :)

Yikes! Just reading this makes the veins in my head throb! I am interested in learning more about the sham wow. Great visuals on this posting, incidentally! Tomorrow is a new day...

Oh wow. You did have a terrible, terrible day. Yikes. I can sort of relate because sometimes I have days like that. :(

Hope today is a much better day. And just think - you graduate AND get to see Mom & Dad in about a month. :)

No fun! This def calls for a margarita my dear!! I did a similar a few weeks go as well and realized I had left my wallet in my other purse. Luckily, I only had a few items but it was at this moment I wish i was at the self checkout as I was pretty embarrassed.

Your lousy day gave me a "funny" day - as it made me laugh! I know, that is insensitive, but the photos you inserted were just too cute! Hope the rest of your day goes much better, but be careful, ok? Love you!

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...

30 Blogs: Something I'm Afraid of

This isn't a very difficult post for me to write about. I am such a "scaredy cat" about so many things. I could quite possibly turn this into a book. I was also the kid that wouldn't go on the monkey bars at school, out of fear that my arms may be ripped out of their sockets. I was the kid who got to the end of the diving board, and then shriveled into a ball at the end shaking in tears. I got to the top-climax spot on a roller coaster, and start saying "Oh my God, get me off this thing. I don't want to do it anymore! Get me off this thing!!" Then I went college, and majored in nursing. I leanred all the horrible ways one can reach multi-system organ failure. If I have too much coffee, and feel maybe the slightest heart palpitation - I am listening to my heart sounds with my stethoscope......... So here's my list of irrational some fears. ;) (some of these may be comical & pathetic to you):\ Heights Vomit (I've gotten better about th...

Let's try this again...

Last year we purchased soil, mulch, and all these plants that grow great in well-watered, rich-soiled areas. Then we went away for a weekend, and everything dried up like a prune. I was a bit disappointmented, as gardening is a hobby & passion of mine. In fact, I became quite frustrated with our hot climate. But we did some research on desert plants, and I found a new love! Desert plants are quite fascinating, actually. Their tough outer skin & small leaves result in maximum absorbtion of our spare water -- allowing them to thrive on little. They are also extremely regenerative. You can cut a branch or an arm off a cactus, and plant it in the ground somewhere else to create a new plant. So we found a very local cactus nursery last weekend, and got to work! Here are a few of the gems we planted. (These are pictures I've found offline, as I haven't taken proper pictures of our front yard yet due to the immaturity of our plants at this point) The Desert Barrel ...
