Thoughts

I've had a busy week or should I say a busy "life". With BBW just getting back into town and having my ex-brother in law, which to him, I'm still family and not an ex-sister in law,coming also over the weekend was pretty crazy.
But we made it through. I haven't seen brother in law since Aug. and he got to meet BBW and they hit it off really well.
And then BBW is suppose to be leaving Sun. to go to AL for about 3 months to work. So I've been busy. It's been trying to find time with hubby with his work schedule and mine to meet in the middle somewhere.
But Sun. night we did go to the circus and me being ?? yrs. old has NEVER been. I had a wonderful time and it was great. I'd go again.
Then last night I come home and my 15 yr. old daughter "H" deceides she wants to be a pastry chef. Okay maybe it's a phase she's going through or maybe not. BBW went and bought her some baking utensils and books. She is also baking a cake for our good friends daughter's birthday next month.
Just as long as I'm at work and not dealing with the messy kitchen. LOL!!!!
She's been watching these shows on Food Network- Aces of Cakes and I think that is where she got her idea.
More power to her, I can't bake okay a little but BBW doesn't need to know that-lol.
We're supporting her in this "adventure" of hers and maybe she will go through with it. Who knows maybe one day my daughter will be on one of those shows.
She's already in the process of making one cake for us to sample. I know that she can do it. She's my daughter and when I set my mind to something I do it.
I'm going back to bed and try to get some rest before work tonight. Last night I had 14 patients. WOW!!! That is alot but we were short handed too. Like everyother night and shift. Is it Fri. yet??? I just had the weekend off and I am looking forward to Fri. Hopefully BBW will be off work so that we can spend some time together before he wonders off to AL. Who knows, maybe with one weekend I have off I could fly to AL and see him.
He will be gone for our 1 year wedding anniversay. But that is his job and I understand.
WOW! We've been married almost a year(April 4th). It's been wonderful and full of LOVE and understanding. Not many women would be able to handle it like I do. I knew what I was getting into when we started dating, living together and got married. You can't say I don't understand.
More later...............

Been blog blocked

I am sorry that I haven't been on in awhile. I have been very busy with my "new career" and trying to adjust to the schedule. Last Sat. the 10th, it was a state board exam and waiting for the results has been killing me. I hate waiting for test results. But anyway, I'm looking on line this am to see if the results are in and low and behold they were.
I called BBW crying and he didn't know why. I PASSED MY STATE EXAM!!!!!!!!!!!!
This couldn't have come on a better day. Today would have been my mother's 58th birthday and I guess this is her way of saying she's proud of me. I know she's looking down over me and guiding me in everything I do.
As far as everything else in my life, my daughter wants to go to the DMV and take her learner's permit test. Oh dear God, please have mercey on us all.(LOL). No she's a good driver, we've been letting her drive short distances. She'll be 16 June 3rd and then it's oh dear God. Today is my day off and it's time to run around and get some things done. So I'll let you know how that goes.
TGIF everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE "NEW JOB".....

Well the "new job" has been keeping me busy. Let me tell you, my body is use to staying up late and sleeping in. It feels great. I work the 3pm-11pm shift.
Tonight was a very hard night for me. It seemed that no matter how many people I changed, their bed linens needed to be changed as well. As most of you may or may not know, I work in a nursing home. I've seen alot of different things there and learned alot there too. So far since I've been there for the past three weeks, 2 of our patients died. One of them I knew and helped take care of and the other one was fairly new to our unit. It's really hard when you lose a petient you take care of. Alot of them like to talk to you and you listen with a caring heart. At least I do. And then again you do have your psyco ones. Like tonight. One lady was throwing things all around her room and let me tell you I stayed away from here. And you have others that like to TRY to hit or scratch you while changing them or feeding them or whatever. And you do have ones that call you names. But I remember what my job is, and that is TO GIVE THEM THE BEST CARE I POSSIBLY CAN GIVE THEM. There is never a dull moment in my job. It is so much different from waiting on customers in a resturant. But I have gotten close to a few of them. I have gotten on lady who never talks, except to her family, to talk and respond to me. And that is what makes me feel good about doing my job. And then there are times when some get on my nerves. But for the most part I DO LOVE MY JOB.
I also take my certification exam on Sat. And BBW will be home Fri. night. So that means when I get home from work on Fri. night, he will be waiting for me.He'll probably be asleep but to be able to cuddle up next to him will be great. My daughter and her puppy has been sleeping with me. And the puppy likes to lick my nose at 730am, hmmm.... no I wanna sleep. But he wants to be let down to go potty. So that is fine, I let him down and then when he's ready put him back in bed and he cuddles with me and we sleep until about 930 or 10 am.
I will write more later. This weekend is for BBW. We have some catching up to do(if you catch my drift). LOL!!!!!!

Not sure what to say??????

Well I know it's been awhile since I've been on. I have been working the 3pm-11pm shift. Today is my day off. I finally got the notice I've been waiting for, to take my state certification. Which is schedules on Sat. 2/10 at 8 am. WOW!!! I've been sleeping until 10 am. So now in between working I have to study for this exam. I know that I will do fine.And BBW is due home on the 9th. It's about time.
So what did I do on my day off? Well, my lovely daughter wanted Sushi for lunch, which I do not care for. So I decided to take her anyway but we couldn't get to the resturant due to someone that had robbed a bank and then tried to rob an armored truck. YEA!!! It was on the news and they are still looking for the guy. He did get money from the bank but not from the truck. And keep in mind this place is only 10 mins. (driving time) from OUR HOUSE. Needless to say she was upset and I was actually thrilled about not having to watch her eat sushi. So went out for mexican food.
I also did a little bit of shopping. And now I am relaxing and waiting on the laundry to get done from the dryer. Plus it's been rainy out today and a good day to relax.
I am enjoying my job. Some of the patients there are funny and you have others that are mean. I did have a scare one night, one of my patients almost went into a diabetic coma. Very scary!!! But we got her blood sugar slowly back up. And the other night she was alert and looking around. What a night that was?
Also yesterday(Thurs) I got a delivery a dozen yellow roses. I called BBW and asked him if I should have been expecting a delivery and he said "no". So I read him the enclosed sweet card. He said they were suppose to be delivered on Valentine's Day. Which is a day that I don't celebrate. Why you may ask?
Well, I personally that you should treat every day like valentine's day not just one day a year. But that is me. And every day with BBW is valentine's day. He makes every day special for me.
So that has been my week so far. I go back to work tomorrow. We shall see what is in store for me?
Have a GREAT WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
