Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!

This was something that was in my e-mail.
I think everyone will enjoy this.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.
My Wish for You in 2007
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words............ May 2007 be the best year of your life!!!

Not much going on..........

Well Christmas is over and now it's time for The New Year. Oh great! You have to wonder what the New Year is gonna bring. Me personally, I'm the hoilday is over. Needless to say our Christmas wasn't exactly what I'd planned.(see BBW's blog for details).
Well, we did get to be HOME FOR THE HOILDAYS. That was nice. My daughter cooked us Christmas dinner. A ham to die for.
I have no idea what's in store for the New Year. I do know that I am finding me a job and place that I like to work.
I'm taking on another case for the HHA(home health agency) that I am working for. I don't know if I'm ready to work 13 hrs. a day and plus 14 hrs. for the weekend. That would be working 7 days a week. I don't think so. I do have and want some what of a LIFE. But I am finding that working from 8am-3pm, I do find myself exhausted at night. Tonight is the first night that BBW and I went out. We went to the mall and to Lowe's and then out to eat.
It was nice. Considering he is leaving soon for out of town work. Great! That means I'll have to sleep all by myself in the queen size bed. I'm sure the cats will keep me company, especially Flower. She loves her momma. Just as long as daughter and Pookie(her puppy) aren't in the bed with me. (haha). They hog the bed.
I'm just rablming on about nothing.
I just wanted yall to know that I am still alive, most of the time; and still around.
More later......I don't know when but soon.

Where do I begin?????

Oh where do I even start??????
Well, as most of you know; on Fri. I graduated NA school. I'm not bragging but I did graduate top of my class. (pat on the back). I did the CNA prayer and did pretty good with it. We then had to give a little speech and one of my class mates gave one. Her first statement was, about me and how she enjoyed working with me when we did our clinicals. I was very honored and touched.
As the evening progessed we ate and then I did karkoe. Yes I said it. Actually Asia(the girl I was talking about) and I did a couple of songs together. I will never look at Jingle Bell Rock or Lean On Me the same way. Come to find out, my daughter had to leave the room and my hubby was holding a butter knife to his throat. (way to go guys, thanks for the support). It was alot of fun. I HAD FUN!!!!
And that is all that matters.
But most of all, I graduated and now have a dipolma to show for it.
( I will post pictures as soon as BBW puts them on computer).
I will now go out into the world and find a good job. But for right now I am still doing the Home Health Care.
And I do plan on going back to school to become a RN.
Me graduating was my Christmas present to myself, my hubby and my daughter.
Thanks for everyones support that had faith in me.
(now let me find a job that I like.)
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL..............

I DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well today was the BIG day. I had FINIALS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well needless to say,
I PASSED MY FINIAL WITH A 93% !!!!!!!!
THE HIGHEST OUT OF THE CLASS.
Also I was choosen to give the prayer for our class. OMG!!!!!!!
I am ssssoooooo excitied that is over but sad in a way too.
Friday is my GRADUATION! I can't believe that I did it and it's over so quickly.
WOW!!!!!!!!!
Next, comes the State Board. That probably won't be until mid Jan. But I know now that I can do it.
I want to Thank all of those who had faith in me and said I could do it.
Mostly my hubby, Mr. Wolf and my daughter(Heather). I couldn't have done this without their support and encouragement and faith in me.
Thank you Honey if you are reading this.
I feel like I have done something.
Thank you to all that have read my blog and have given me encouragement and support.
I thank you all and appreciate you all.
THANKS!!!!!!!!11

What are people thinking??????

Well, school is almost over. I have finals on Tues. and that's it for. Graduation is Fri. night.WOW!!! Where has the time gone?
I can't seem to get in the spirit of Christmas. It has been very warm here and it doesn't feel like Dec. Tomorrow it's suppose to be near 70. But even with that, I have managed to get most of my shopping done. I've found if I go to the malls or stores before 5 or 6pm it's not that crowded. But some of the people I saw in the mall today. OMG! Do some of them not have a mirror in there house? One lady was wearing leggings, a tank top and brown high heels. What she had on did not match in the slightest. And I think some of the teenage girls need to check the sizes of their teeshirts. This one girl I saw, had a teeshirt on so tight; I don't know how she got it on. And the guys, please pull up your pants. I don't want to see what color your underwear is. I wanted to tell this one guy that. To me that is not attractive at all. Don't they know what a belt is? I don't think so.
Some of the sales people are rude and don't need to work in the stores when they are suppose to be spreading JOY AND CHEER while your shopping in their store.
I think some people don't need to go to the mall.
Well that is all for now. I have a huge headache.
I had 3 test today and passed them all. Tues. will be the hard day. So I need to start getting ready for that.

Munday.....

Well, I have been fighting off the flu all weekend and still went to work. So this morning when I got up, at 5:45am feeling like a truck ran over me;I called in sick. I needed a day to myself to recover and with no school or work. So I laid on the sofa most of the morning, still in my p.j.'s when Mr. Wolf came home.
We watched a movie and then I got up and started doing some cleanning around the house. A sudden burst of energy, where did that come from? Then showered went out for something to eat and did some shopping.
I do feel somewhat better. I will be glad when school is over. Next Tues. is my last day, Finals day and then graduation on the 22nd. I have enjoyed going to school but like most people that go back can't wait until it's OVER.
I have decided to start putting my resume out and looking for a place to work. I am doing Home Health Care through the school, even though it gives me practice; I've thought about it and it's not for me. Being with one patient all day isn't my cup of tea. I like to stay busy and enjoy the rush. So I'm going to start looking for something. I have a few leads and I'm gonna do that after class tomorrow.
Did I mention that I made a 100 on a test (and didn't even study)!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was proud. Now lets hope I can pass this test tomorrow. I always seems to do well on test when I don't feel my best. so maybe I should wake up tomorrow feeling bad. I'll have to sleep on that.
Back to studying. I wanna pass with good grades and I think I will. But studying is the key and learning things are fun too.

A break

Well, I have some sortaof break from work. I go to school Thurs. and Fri. but don't have to go to work. I am somewhat excitied about that. I am really tired and need much over due sleep. I'm enjoying my job. It's been a challenge but it's also expereince too. I am using muscles that I thought I'd never use. My upper back is killing me tonight. I also need to study for school tomorrow but I'm not too worried about it. I did manage to clean up my kitchen and do some light dusting and start some laundry. And then I found myself sitting infront of the competer on my blog. Oh well, this is my break from the world. This is me time. Even though I feel as though I forgot what that was.
I have 2 weeks of school left and I find myself getting more and more excitied about graduating. I am beginning to feel like I have done something with my life. I know that when I do graduate and get a real good paying job, I will feel like I've done something.
Well back to the books I go. More later...............

Hello part 2

Well I am still here just not on as often as I'd like to be.
I have been going to school and working as a Home Health Care Aide. It's been very challenging. I haven't stopped since last Wed. I am running on empty. But I am getting alot of experience too. And I am getting paid for it, it's not alot but it's more than I was making at the resturant I was working at. I feel like I haven't spent much time with my hubby or daughter. I still have Christmas shopping to do. WHEN AM I GONNA DO THAT? My day job is 8am-3pm and then I go to it after class and stay for about 6 or 7 hours. Plus last weekend I had clinical from 7am-2pm and went there from 3pm-8pm. That weekend killed me. I haven't even had time to watch any of my shows.
Thank goodness DHW's was a repeat. Sorry I haven't had time to read any of the other blogs but I will catch up SOON.
More later on my wonderful ongoing life.

Hello everyone............

Hello everyone! I know it's been awhile but I have been a little busy. First of all I am excitied I GRADUATE in 3wks. and I quite my waitress job. How's that for a week?
This past week has been so hard and stressful on me, with the colonoscopy and going to school and then working the 2 awful crappy shifts as a waitress. Well, Tues. I was offered a job through the school doing homehealth care. So I took it. I actually started today (9-5) and it was good. Very easy. But tomorrow and Sun. I have clinical (7am-2pm) and then go to another pateints house for about 6 hours and then back on Mon. so this is gonna be a longgggggggggg weekend. But Mr. Wolf understands and I'm glad cause I am getting PAID for this. So that makes me feel really GREAT.
So that is what has been going on in my crazy life lately and all in 1 week, for that matter.
I'm thrilled and I am also going to start looking for a permant job for when I graduate school.
So 'yall wish me lots of luck. And my goal or morely My New Year's Resoulation is go back to school within 6 mths to a year for my LPN. I'm thinking this time next year I'll be in school AGAIN. ( Am I crazy or what.) No, making a future for myself and my family.
Talk to yall soon.

I'm fine

Well I made it through the colonoscopy just fine. Even though I don't remember a thing from last night. I went to school and after 11 am I couldn't have anything else to drink. I was very tired through class and could hardly keep my head up. I was on a liquid diet the night before. And not to mention the "headache". But I made it and even made a 92 on a test. WOW!!! Yea, I was surprised too.
Then off to the doctor's office we go at 230pm. Get there and had to fill out a form, ok; asking a person who is cranky, hadn't had anything "good" to eat or drink wasn't the best thing to do. But low and behold, I filled it out(with a few mistakes). I signed in the wrong place and had to scratch it out and resign it.
Go back. They get the vitals and I change into a gown. Then off to the little room to do the procedure. I had an I.V. put in me and my headache started to go away. The doctor was talking to me and the nurse injected the "wonderful meds" into my I.V. And that was the last thing I remembered.
I don't remember getting dressed, getting into the car or going by the drugstore with Mr. Wolf.
I remember NOTHING about last night. And apparently a girl I work with asked me work for her and I said yes and remembered that.
They gave me some GOOD DRUGS!!! I want some more,lol. I don't even remember doing some homework or watching t.v. either.
Oh well, I am fine. Still a little sluggish today but okay. Better today than yesterday.
Mr. Wolf was telling me this morning all about last night and I couldn't remember ANYTHING.
Oh well, as long as I didn't kill anyone I should be okay.
Or did I????????????????

Hello everyone

Sorry I haven't been on my blog until this am. We went to N.J. for Thanksgiving. We had a really good time. My daughter went with us along with the puppy. He loved "grandma" and I do have to say she loved him too. Oh don't worry, he got to eat turkey too.
I'm really glad to be home. I missed our cats while we were gone.
Now it's time to get ready for Christmas. I did have Mr. Wolf hang up our wreath. So that is a start. I might work on somethings today inside the house.
But first I have to study for school.
I had midterms last Tues. and did ok. I made an "88" on my midterm. I could've done better. But that's not bad with everything that is going on with my health right now. Also I had found a lump in my right breast. It's nothing. It has gone down in size and I had one several years ago. But I am still gonna have it checked out. More than likely it's a swollen lymph node.
I just have to get through today and tomorrow first. Tonight I start the process for the colonoscpy on Tues. at 3:30pm. Yea, that's gonna be fun.
At least it will be over soon and behind me. We should know something after the test is complete. Hopefully it's not too bad.
I hope that everyone had a good Thanksgiving. I did. I have alot to be thankful for.
One is all the people that read my blog and the friendships I've made through the blogs.
Thank you all.

It's me again....

Well the doctor visit went as well as expected. I am scheduled to have a colonoscopy done on Tues. the 28th at 3:30pm. It's just the night before prep stuff I have to endure. YUCK!!!!!
And only a clear liquid diet too. I can have my coffee, just no milk. I will survive though.
I am in the process of ironing. Boy do I hate it. I am ironing my scrubs for tomorrow. Well, at least they will be neatly pressed and with creases in them. I wonder how long that will last,lol.
Well, back to the ironing.
If I'm not on before turkey day,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!!!!
Enjoy your turkey, stuffing and all the trimmings.

Trouble with blogging

I haven't had anything much to say. I have been busy working,studying and going to school. And on Tues. I have mid-terms. WOW!!! I am doing well in class. This weekend is my first clinical. We go on the weekend to a nearby nursing home to get "hands on" training. Last Sun. we were there and basically toured the home and talked. But this weekend we get to do it.
It was hard seeing some of those patients in there. Some are really ill and others their families can't take care of them. But I did meet alot of nice people while I was there.
They would smile when I'd talk to them. That is all that some of them need. Someone to talk to them. You know that saying." A SMILE GOES A LONG WAY."
Well, it's true with them. Sometimes a smile is all they want from you and that makes their day.
I know that I can do this job. I've raised 3 childern and these people are like little kids. They all need some TLC.
But my biggest worry right now is, my doctor's appointment today at 2pm. It's with a gastrospecialist. I just hope everything goes well.
Wish me luck with the doctor and this weekend.
More later..................

Great News

Well I got some great news. Looks like Mr. Wolf will be home for Thanksgiving. WOW!!
He is leaving the Island of Shemya on Fri. and will be home either Sat. or Sun. He's coming home this weekend and my daughter is leaving for Tx. on Sun. Well, at least his mother will be happy that he'll be able to spend Thanksgiving this year with the family.
Poor guy though. He'll be home for about 3 days after traveling and then we'll be driving to N.J. to his parents house. I'm sure he'll get some rest while he's home. That is if I don't make him a "A Honey Do List". LOL!!!
I'm just excitited that I get to spend Thanksgiving with him. It'll actually be our first one together, and that means alot to me and him.
He has told me that it's been very cold there. It's been close to the 70's here. Poor guy.
But he'll be home soon and I can't wait.
Have a safe trip hunny!

Rant......

It is Sat. night and nothing is on t.v. or cable to watch. So as I was flipping through the channels, guess what I found on t.v.? HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS. Come on, it's not even Thanksgiving yet. It's bad enough they are showing Christmas commericals already. Can't they wait until after Thanksgiving? Soon we'll be seeing Christmas stuff in July. I swear it's earlier and earlier every year.
But at least The Wizard of Oz is coming on next. And that is a classic to watch.
I just think they should wait a little bit longer before running Christmas shows. What about some Thanksgiving shows or cartoons?
That's my 2 cents worth. What do you think?
Do you think that retailers should wait before running Christmas commercials?
Do you think that t.v. channels should wait until AFTER Thanksgiving to start with all the Christmas stories and cartoons?
Let me hear your 2 cents worth.

ENOUGH

Well it's Friday again. I am off from school and work and enjoying "my girls day" out with my daughter. First we went and got out nails done. Something I like to do. I feel like it is something I do for "myself". Like pampering myself. Yeah that's it.
Then we went to go to the DMV and they were closed. I forget today is like a hoilday. Oh well, so we went across the street to Applebee's for lunch. Very nice lunch we had. I had their new Herb Crusted Chicken, which was very good.
Then we go to Target and do some shopping.
Then I told my daughter if I saw another Amazon box on our front door I was gonna scream.
"SCREAM. SCREAM".
I did. And there was yet ANOTHER AMAZON BOX on the front door steps.
Come on, how many books does Mr. Wolf really need. He has gotten a box from them since Sat. Come on. We don't even have room for these extra books yet does he have time to read them.
So I didn't feel guilty about buying this cute warm suit that I got, or a new black purse.
Come women, we all need a black purse-right. Thank you.
Well, thanks for letting me vent to yall. Oh not to mention I did get a call from work, the bartender was sick and they wanted me to work. This was before I knew the DMV was closed and besides I needed some "mother and daughter time".
More later.
And did anyone catch Grey's Anatomy last night??????
Do post what you thought!!!!

What a day????

Well, I thought it was gonna be a good day at work. It was over cast and we are usually busy on those type of days. It wasn't busy - at all. Oh well. First I normally work the bar on Mon. and Wed. from 10:30-5pm. I found out today that I no longer work those days. That was the only reason I decided to keep working there, cause it was in between classes for me and it was durning the day. Anyway, this girl(who is suppose to be the asst. manager) decided she was gonna work those days so she could do the beer and liquor order for the weekends. Well my boss said"it wasn't getting done". So why let her work those shifts, if she isn't gonna do her JOB. I don't understand that. So, I figured I'd work Mon. and Wed. nights, that why I still have a job and some spending money. That just totally pissed me off. That she'd take over my shifts. But it doesn't bother me at all. As long as I can study for school, I don't care.
Then I get a phone call from my dad. He asked what I was doing. I told him I was cooking dinner. He said, "No your cooking supper." I told him it didn't make a difference, I was cooking. He said dinner is what you eat in the afternoon and supper is at night. I should know this, since I'm a SOUTHERN GIRL. I had to laugh at me and say "ok, it's supper". He laughed at me. My dad is really great. He is a true southern. He lives in Blairsville, GA. That is basically considered redneck or hillbilly country. It's in the mountains near Tn. When I talk to him, I can hear my southern accent come out. But then it soons goes away. I know where my roots are.
I haven't heard from Mr. Wolf since this morning when he said he was getting ready to leave for the island of Sheyma. And that was about 11:30 am (my time) he called. I hope everything is ok. I can't study cause I'm worried about him. I know he's okay. I hope he's okay.
He's okay, isn't he?
He did say last night there was snow everywhere. On the mountain tops and the lakes were frozen. I guess it is pretty cold there. Hope he's wearing his thermal underwear.
Need to go check on"supper", and get to studying. Got a test tomorrow.
Good night everyone(for now). God Bless you all.

Good morning.........

Well, I didn't sleep too well. I kept waking up at all hours throughout the night. My neck is stiff and so is my back. Just not the same without Mr. Wolf here. It's actually warm here this morning. I thought it was Nov.
I'm sitting here enjoying my coffee and listening to the birds outside and some loud dog barking down the street. But I like my mornings,"nice and quite".
Mr. Wolf made it to Alaska. He will be flying the island of Sheyma today. I just hope he's not gone as long as they said they would be. It's be nice to have him back in time for Thanksgiving.
Well, I need to get for work. I work today then school tomorrow and off on Fri. Hopefully I can sleep in a bit then. More later...........

All by myself.

All by myself..............
Isn't that a song? Mr. Wolf left for Alaska today. He should be arriving in a few hours there. I was in school when he called me and he said he was broading the plane in MN. But at least I got to say another "hello and I love you". I got up at 5:30 am this morning to take him to the airport. Boy, was I tired.
Then off to school. I was fighting so hard to stay awake and try not to yawn. So on break, off to the 7-11 for a 24oz. cup of java. Then it was test time. Didn't do bad for someone that hardly studied. Made a 90.
I was busy watching the Country Music Awards last night and trying to studying. But Mr. Wolf did tell me this am not to try to study and watch t.v.
And then after class came home. AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
The silence. My daughter was over at a friends house helping her out with her little one(she's 3 yrs. old). So I made a pot of coffee and snacked and laid on the sofa and took a NAP. One-I needed it and two-why not since no one was here.
The puppy even curled up with me and slept next to me too.
It's still quite in the house. It's getting chilly out and suppose to rain. So hopefully with the rain I can sleep good. I usually don't sleep well the first night that Mr. Wolf is gone. I'm still tired so I don't think I won't have any problem sleeping.
See, this is when I need my hubby. I need more milk and now I'm gonna have to walk next door to Food Lion and get it, and I HATE GOING OVER THERE. Oh well, it's close and it's within walking distance. I'm just feeling lazy.
So off to get milk. And enjoy the rest of the quite. Yea, daughter is still at friends house. THANK GOODNESS.

WONDER JOCK..................

I was checking email and came across this photo on yahaoo news pictures.
I can see women having the "wonder bra" and now men with the "wonderjock".
I do have to say it looks interesting,huh????
Can I see some jeans or pants on this guy?
Na, looks fine with undies.
