Really?!?! :(

So there I was at 1:00 am this morning vomiting.



Good morning/afternoon to all!

Isn't that a great way to start out a fabulous and inspiring post?!

Sorry -- too much NCLEX studying + no sleep + being sick & cynical = vulgarity.

So I take my NCLEX TOMORROW at 12:30 pm. The biggest test of my life!! Ever!! If I fail this? I am screwed and my entire college education is a worthless waste. I will probably be thrown on the streets, spit on, and forever shunned if I fail.

Just kidding...if for some God-awful reason I fail - I can always retike it.
....in 45 days after paying $700 MORE dollars that I don't have ;)  (but that won't be happening!)

In all honesty, I was feeling pretty confident.

But my husband & I got some excellent "bonding time" last night.

We got the stomach flu together. How. Effing. Cute.

Yeah, not happy. His flight for California leaves tomorrow morning (for work). So we both need to get better fast.

Or we're screwed.

My deepest apologies for yet another "ranting post". I promised I'd keep these minimal. I promise tomorrow will have a happy, enlightening, exciting post!

But, I had to share our exciting news.

"Luckily" - being sick...I am forced to be confined to the couch with thousands of pillows supporting my aching body & powerade in lap -- so I have no choice to do anything BUT study.

It could be worse. I could've gotten the stomach flu mid-NCLEX test. That would be a real memory...

Well, Have a great Tuesday - my lovely bloggers! If you could...please send "get well" and "good luck" prayers our way! Tomorrow is a big day!

(And I'm sorry if I grossed anyone out. I tend to be a bit crude/blunt about human physiology ect...)

Actually, I think you are handling this whole thing quite well! It is surely not funny and I hope you both get rested up today and get a good night's sleep so you can both have a good day tomorrow! On the bright side, it's good it didn't happen tonight, right? I love the first picture!

Yikes!! I really hope you feel better ASAP! I am sure you've studied all you can possibly study, plus the fact that this has been your life for a few years, so the best thing you can do now is rest and get better!!

Good luck tomorrow! And hope both you guys get better :)
Ugh, I felt sick to my stomach when mom emailed me & said you got the flu. :( You poor things! Getting the flu is the worst - and then getting it the week of the biggest exam of your life? Ugh. How terrible.

I KNOW you will rock this exam, though! BBM right after and let me know how it goes!!

I agree with your mom, you are handling this VERY well! I hope you both woke up this morning, feeling 100% better.

You've been living and breathing everything you need for this test today and I know you're going to rock it!

Will be thinking of and praying for you at 12:30...I'm going to light a candle RIGHT NOW!

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
