Hearts

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

I hope you are all enjoying your day.........................

I'm going to be honest with you -- I was kinda grumpy about Valentine's Day this year. I told my husband "Don't waste your time getting anything for me this year or trying to be romantic...I have to work Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday so it's not worth it. Let's just pretend Vday isn't happening this year, okay? It will be easier this way"

He concurred.

Instead of spending Vday having a romantic time with my husband,....... I will be spending it hanging antibiotics, bathing old people, doing assessments, assisting people while they vomit, & running around like a chicken with my head-cut-off at work. How romantic.!!!

Well, I got home from work this morning -- walked into our kitchen, flipped on the lights to find a bouquet of beautiful roses and a heart-felt, hand-written love-note

:-)

Okay, maybe Valentine's Day isn't SO bad. ;) I'm very blessed. My husband's a good guy

I have just 2 more nights and I'm on a little vacation for a week! We are staying at the W Scottsdale resort in Scottsdale & then flying North to see Ryan's family and be there for our Goddaughter/Niece Claire's Baptism! It will be a fantastic time!

I'm kinda ready for a little break from work!! Last week I worked 4 nights in a row, took 2 nights off and was back at it -- I feel like I kind of live there lately and I miss sleeping in my bed at night!


Have a great day and remind ALL the fabulous people how much you love them!

I am glad that Ryan surprised you like that! I know life is stressful and working nights is less than ideal... but hopefully this will be behind you soon!

And just be thankful that you HAVE a Valentine. :) I know it sucks to not be able to spend the holiday together and to go days w/out seeing each other, but I'd love to have what you two have. :) Whenever I find myself down about things, I say to myself, "I am lucky because...." I think if you think of life in that way, it helps! And you are definitely VERY lucky to have a wonderful husband who adores you!

I agree with Lisa - you are so fortunate to have such a romantic husband who treats you like a "rose petal"! Remember those words? :)!

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. I could do a post in itself about my dislike for canines. E. Essential start to your day: Bowl of oatmeal/or cereal with bananas. Or fruit F. Favorite color: Greeen G. Gold or silver: Definitely silver. H. Height: 5'4'' - Sometimes I lie & say 5'5''. Some people lie about their weight, age, haircolor...I lie about my height. I...

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...

Pandemic Pregnancy

Dearest Sebastian,  This will be a more sobering letter, but I don't think I can write about my pregnancy without addressing the big elephant in the room.  I write this letter to you in grave hopes that by the time you're old enough to read these letters, COVID-19 is something you read about in your history books. However, by the time you're taking history classes, I am sure you won't have textbooks. I'm sure some robot will tell you about it.  I hope that you go to a busy, bustling school with activities, contact sports, and choir. (all things that currently don't exist). I hope you had a childhood where you could play tag. (currently banned). I hope you have school pictures where you are making faces at the camera that is not hidden behind a mask. But given the current state, your mama is not so sure what kind of world she is bringing you into. At this point, all I can tell you is that I promise your Dad and I will travel with you and make life as special as w...
