Wellness Wednesday, my ass.

No, when I said "My ass"...I was not referring to "Hey guys! I'm going to give you a great workout to make you have tight buns"..............

I am being cynical. And grumpy.

I am sorry for the profanity.

3 clinicals this week. I leave the house at 5:40 am, get home at 8:30 pm. Almost 2 hours of that day is spent driving. I officially hate where we live right now. Cannot wait for that golden day when we move.


(construction signs should be be more honest, instead of "Delay ahead" -- they should just say "You're probably going to want to drive your vehicle through a cement median during the next 3 miles. Hey Don't feel so bad!--It's your tax dollars going to great use!")

I'm skimping out on my "Wellness Wednesday" today. 

I have an online class, where, if the internet wasn't so public -- I would be ranting on and on about how I feel about many issues surrounding this class.

Oh, if the day had more hours. And if nursing programs didn't contains so much BS. (and I'm not talking about Bachelors of Science, either...)

Anyways, I'm really not that grumpy and miserable. I love my practicum! Homework and papers are driving me up the wall. In all honesty, I'm in a pretty good mood.

I'll still make "well" choices and sneak in a workout today to get away from the computer and books for awhile!

5.5 weeks to go. I can do this!!!

See? There's a smile!! From the devil herself! ;)

Stay well, my friends!

"Jumping through the hoops" is laborious. I couldn't handle all of that traffic and construction, either. But, humor helps! I LOVED that picture of the cat. Hoot.

Ranting is good for wellness once in awhile, huh? Hang in there! A man drove through a bunch of fresh cement in Fargo on a construction site and it cost literally thousands of dollars to replace! Don't try it!

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...

ABC

We are home from a wonderful, extended-weekend-getaway to Omaha. It was filled with family, relaxations, and greatness. I will do a more detailed recap on it soon! In the meantime, I'm doing this ABC bit that I stole from my cousin 's blog! Also, no -- I did not get switched to days. Trust me, I would've told the entire world and screamed it from roof-tops if I did. A. Age: 22, but that will change on Sunday. B. Bed size: King C. Chore you dislike: Cleaning the shower - especially dealing with hard-water stains. Lime away=ouch D. Dogs: Really really really really really dislike. Really dislike. Sorry.

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...
