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...

A weekend of the great outdoors

As I am preparing for my return to the real world tomorrow, I feel a strong sense of dread. As I won't have a weekend or free week for a long while! Instead of focusing on that.......I'm sharing a few snapshots from our awesome weekend! This weekend we were in Big Lake, AZ -- which is about 20 miles from the New Mexico border (just 5 1/2 hours from our house). (last weekend we were in Parker Canyon...which I will blog about another day) We camped from Friday-Monday, which was the perfect length of time. The temperatures were a great escape from hot Tucson. In fact...it was VERY cold at night. It was in the low 30's at night, 60's during the day. The trout fishing was incredible. Here's a few snapshots: Home Sweet Home for the weekend! Look at the giant tree I cut down!!! Wow!! (Okay, this was posed...) But...Ryan did teach me how to use a wood-saw! There were tons of dead/fallen trees lying around. So we cut all our firewood for the weekend! I felt very ...

Good things

I must say there are many good things I have to be happy about right now! I am in my psychiatric-mental health nursing rotation right now. I originally chose nursing as my major beause from the time I was like 12 I wanted to be a psych nurse. I love it so far. The clinicals are incredible. I am finding I am more organized and ahead of things in this class than I ever have been! Now, if I could be this motived with Critical Care and my Capstone this summer......:) Ryan and I got an entire day together yesterday!!!! This is rare. My spring break kind of sucked. He would leave at about 6 a.m., and not return until 8 p.m. The poor guy is spread too thin! So I cherish a day like yesterday! Which consisted of............. Spring Training baseball!!!!!! Diamondbacks vs. Oakland Atheletics. It was nearly a close-out. 10-1. We met his bosses wife at the game and she insisted we ditch our seats & sit in the seats in front of them that they had purchased . So we were FRONT ROW BEHIND HO...
