It’s been a long day. I was up entirely too early for me for my son’s wellness appointment. I wish I would have ran this morning when I had the opportunity, but I just couldn’t seem to get going until it was time to rouse my little man to head to the doctors. Mental […]
Oh, my. Work took a lot out of me. Actually, it wasn’t so much work as it was the complete lack of sleep on my off days. Most thankfully, the unit was slow enough I got to stay home on call all night, so I tried catching up on lost sleep. I still feel all […]
A quick giggle before this RN heads to bed after a somewhat hectic night in triage.
My baby boy turns five tomorrow! I’m so excited for him. It’s been amazing to watch him grow and learn over the last five years. This week, we’ve been in full on birthday mode. Mostly party preparations (did you see the Angry Bird masks in my last post~wait till you see the finished product!), but […]
Today has been on of those most unfortunate days when I get to run on four hours of sleep in the last thirty hours. Oh, night shift nurse life. You kill me sometimes. Okay. So I need caffeine. And a cookies. I have neither. I have reduced sugar lemonade from Trader Joes and vanilla almond […]
Yesterday, I made a list of 16 projects around the house that need to be taken care of before the summer ends. Most of them are works in progress that I’ve started and just need a little help with to finish. One of which, is the garden in the front yard. Actually, gardens. There are […]
For the last few weeks, I’ve had nasty bouts of heartburn. For anyone who hasn’t experienced heartburn, let me assure you that it sucks. It really sucks when you’re suffering with heartburn and attempting to run five miles. That was the case for me this morning. Raging heartburn that showed itself in full force around […]
Today my favorite little guy graduated from preschool! I am so proud of him. He sang his songs, stayed in his seat when he was supposed to, got a diploma and was just so stinking cute in his cap and gown. See? I’m beyond proud of him. What mom wouldn’t be? Not only did he […]
Obviously, not at the same time. I’ll admit, I’m pretty good at multitasking, but needle work while running? That’s a talent I haven’t mastered. Last night, wonderfully, thankfully, the day shift charge nurse called and asked if I was up for a budget, meaning did I want to stay at home and take call pay. […]
Just for fun… I could eat Nutella by the spoonful. In my opinion, it is the food of the gods. Tulips are one of my favorite flowers. For years, I’ve hoped for a bouquet of tulips on all the special occasions, but I’ve sadly never gotten any. Daisies are my other favorite flower. Lucky Charms […]
