July 29 Talking about Attempted exorcism ends in man’s death - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com#storyContinued
UMM.. I think this mans death was much too quick in comparison to the suffering he put his daughter thourgh. If excercism is needed (yes I cant believe I said that myself) I would imagion the family would call upon the help of the church. They still do those things right? This is a seeminly is a case of severe mental illness. Sad for the girl.
Attempted exorcism ends in man’s death - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com#storyContinued February 03 Feb already!Oh my! how the time had flown by... what the heck happened to JAN? LORD! So what have I been doing to neglect my blogging dutties? january I started back to school, I am taking the second half of A&P, infact my first exam is next Thursday, I'll have to let you know how I do. I've been tutoring a student in class so I think I'll be okay. (Then again I could end up making both of us Bomb it!) Work is going well, I have been pulling a lot of doubles at work, making a little bit more $! I just wish I could take more time for ME. I spend time at work, at school, studyin', being miss housewife too! (although my cobb webbs on the celing could say otherwise!) I am leaving little time for the things I would like to do:
learn yoga
organize my music
jog with my dogs
roller skate with my kids
sleep with my hubbie (I do mean SLEEP) {though the other would be nice too!}
bake somthing sweet from scratch
plant somthing
go to a musical or other live performance
read a book (other than a text book)
clean out my closet
Play dress up with my daughter
battle my son with nerf blasters
feed the ducks at the park
go see a movie
watch all my podcasts
get a: manicure, pedicure, massage, facial and my hair done
have my house clean longer than half a day.....
...I'm sure there are many other things if I take the time to think about it! but alas!
December 26 Christmas blessingsA wonderfully blessed Christmas indeed! The kids rose about 7am as usual. I could here them whispering "Was he here?... oh Christian look!" SANTA WAS HERE! SANTA WAS HERE! MOMMY, DADDY.... SANTA WAS HERE!
The kids came screaming in the room as we pretended to sleep. The family got up and went out to see our pittyfulL DEAD, CRISPY, Christmas tree lit all aglow in an heartfilled attempt to pride it self up to the job of best Christmas tree ever. Shame. But the kids didnt even notice or care. They were jumping around the room toward their new trick scooters from Santa. "LOOK MEGAN, A RAMP!" ..."COOL!" Encompasing the room was a long (8 ft?) black bike/scate ramp. Thanks Santa just what they needed in their backyard. I can just see them jumping, getting airbourne, and landing with a crack of some bone or another! But, alas they LOVE IT! Each toy opened was inspected, initially played with and coveted untill we pressed just a little to open the next gift. I was a great morning. Highlight gifts I think was definatally the magnetics from Grandma Eveline and the basketball hoop from Me and Charles. Charles recieved the roto-zip tool from me ( we're going to tile the house hopefully soon) and he gave me a video iPod! LOVE it! We spent the day playing with all the kids' toys, remembering our own childhoods with them. Late afternoon I started the prime rib dinner and we ate around 530. YUMMY. YUMMY YUMMY. ( That's for you Mom!) I, the glutten, drank a bottle of 2004 select Andretti Cab. Oh GOD! delish! Yes the whole bottle. It had a full body, low tannins, smooth finish with some black berry/chocolatish yumm stuff in it.
I know the day late thing but either way. MERRY CHRISTMAS! AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
~Reece December 22 I did it!Yeah!
I finally up loaded more pics! And to celebrate I changed my page just a wee bit to focus on my pics. December 19 5 days!Well now that this semester is over I can surprisingly say that I set the curve in anatomy and physiology... shit I didn’t even finish high school! Let alone get the highest grade on a test....3 times! Overall I had the second highest grade in the class. (Kind of pissed about that) but that’s okay. I start the second half the 16th of January... I’ve already started the next chapter. I suck. The timing for back to school is going to really suck. I have to take my daughter in for a surgical procedure the next day. Funny. I schedule people for surgery, take out staples, pull drains, even do the pre-surgery stuff like explaining the procedure, whys and how’s. But it really sucks when it’s your own kid that is going to be going through all that druggy feeling. I just don’t want her to not know where she is, and feel scared because she doesn’t know what’s going on... crap. I know in my head that her procedure is minimal, necessary and excellent speed of recovery... but my heart still doest like the idea at all.
So, 5 days till Christmas, I never put up my photos of Halloween, still haven’t made cookies with my kids like I have been promising them, my house is going to have in-laws in it tomorrow, (house a mess)... BUT I have all my shopping done! I am very much looking forward to spending some time with them next week. I have the whole week off! I hope it makes up for me not being around much. (Sad mommy) Actually today I was a not very nice mommy. I don’t know if it was my slammed day in the clinic but when I came home I was a B!tCH. I was short with the hubbie. Nothing he could say was right. My Christmas tree is crispy
2 hours by the way waiting for Santa. November 11 Bells and BuzzersBells and buzzers surrounds me tonight as I am picking up an extra shift on the med-surg floor. It is all coming back to me, the rush of the dinner med-pass, blood sugar checks, and wound care. It is nice to see some of my old friends and meet the few new staff. They are all really excellent nurses. MSU (Med-surg unit) really has a good team here now. I most likely will be back here after I am finished with my RN school. Going back to school seemed a simple thing to do years back when I started. I am getting closer to admission to the RN program but it still seems so far off. Not the time for the prereq's to be done but the heaps of paperwork I will now have to wade through to apply to schools and for tuition reimbursement. You would think they would make it easy to advance in your career but it is anything than that.
I got to talk a little tonight to my Mom on the phone, (jeeze, writing an entry in my blog, talkin on the phone and oh yeah STUDYING too! Boy am I workin hard!) I havent talked to her for a while and it was nice to hear she is doing well. I am proud of her getting up the courage to start a fast paced job in the airline field as a flight scheduler... GO MA! But not to hear the upsetting news of my cousin back in Scotland (or England? humf I cant remember where he's at) not doing so well after a frightfull fall. I am sure all of the family's thoughts are wilth him giving him strength to make it past this.
Okay I know, I havent posted the pics yet of my Kid's halloween,,,, I'll get there,,, eventually.
October 15 snakes and spiders and bats... oh my!Well I finally started to decorate for the last two weeks of October. Bummer, I wanted to do more this year but can’t find the time. All I have left is to put up the spider webs and my house will be the house on the block! Megan and I are going to both be vampires. Christian is again going as batman! Light up bat sign on his chest and all! Megan had a hard time picking her costume this year, but with money tight we are not going to go out and buy new costumes for every one. She and I will just modify our old ones a wee bit, and bite down on some vamp fangs! She was quite happy with the compromise.
Poo on you Liz, KMA you don’t like the color! (Love you.)
Oh found a great site for SHOES! You can find just about anything here and not bad prices too! They even have boats for feet as big as mine! October 06 October begins.Well its the first week of October and I have missed my chance to be the first house on my street for Halloween decor to go up. HUMPH! I have been studying away like mad. This Semester by far has been the most tedious and most material thrown at me yet. I am bound and determined however to get an A on this second exam. Oh BTW if Ididnt say it before I has a overall B on my first exam and currentally I am 4th in the class. But with my experience and understanding I expect to be doing better. How could anyone know more than me darn it
 .This area of class is covering the skin system, bone histology, axial skeletal system and Joints. So far I have the skin down pretty good which means I have till monday to make the rest my B!tch.So I guess for now the scarecrows, witches and pumpkins can remain in my attic a little longer. OOh new thought. What if I took long strips of fabric like muslin and tore it up and hung in over my eves on the house? That would look creepy at night... would sway in the breeze to and be eerie! Well so my bones shall now begin. Hey Ma, when ya comin' to Cali?  September 24 It's tooth fairy tonight!Second tooth is already out! Megan drew out a map of the living room so the tooth fairy could try to find her "lost" one. Well last night while it was dark and quiet at 1100 at night, with only my tip tapping of the keyboard (doing my anatomy stuff) she creeps next to me and scares the CRAP out of me! She wanted to tell me she couldnt stop the tiny bit of bleeding in her mouth 'cause the other one fell out... actually she pushed it out but thats okay. The tooth fair got to arrive! The tooth fairy was VERY creative
She's so silly! September 20 TooflessI am proud to say my first child has actually lost a toof. I came home from work on Tuesday to learn that my 6 yr old daughter wanted to say somthing to me in the side yard. I found her up to her knees and elbows in dirt she had been digging in. And when she looked up at me she a big toofless smile! She lost it at school while "playing" with it using her tongue. I can't tell you how proud she was feeling to be a big girl with a big girl tooth coming in. This sense of pride however fell into a pit of unfair lessons in life. Through out the rest of the evening Hubbie and I kept telling her to not play with it that she was going to end up losing it...and she did. Somewhere between my room and God knows where it is lost. Let me tell you the despair both she and I felt. I know its weird but like my Mom I wanted to keep it for her. So her losing it was like me losing the chance to save it. She was so sad. Sad dosent even color it blue enough though. We looked through the whole house from top to bottom for the rest of the night. Even after reality sank in I was still eyeballing the carpet for some glimpse of white enamel. Just in case there was some hope to heal a 6yr olds broken dream of a pay-out from the tooth-fairy. To ease her woes though we are going to write a letter to the queen of fallen toofs and tell her the story of what happened and could she see if she can use her magic to help find it...and if she does to please leave the cash under the pillow!
I had my first exam on Monday for A&P. Brutal! let me tell you. Who ever thought of taking a two hour lecture exam and a practical lab exam on the same day needs to be shot! I still managed a B from the whole thing together (my lab exam sucked rat pen!s). I have a new perspective on how I need to handle the class though. Damn I want an A...BAD! I'll have to work for it though thats a fact.
Oh yeah,,,check out the STUFF TO SHARE at the bottom left. I picked up on a great spot for women and how to treat ourselves to a night spa... Elizabeth you'll love this!
I will take some pics of my toofless daughter tomarrow! Till then good night! September 11 Mommy promisesJust as long as I dont raise hellians that are highlighted on Jerry Springer! I had a wonderfull weekend with the kids. It is amazing how some days can go really well and some days not so good and others down right miserable. After I got home on Sat from class the house was a mess, kids were hazardly excieted to see me and the hubbie desperatally needing a break from Mr Mom role. I thought I'd have my lil sis over to keep the kids quiet and occupied so hubbie could sleep (he works nights,,, no rest for Mr Mom on Day shift) But that wasnt the case. In fact lil sis slept in the latest. Oh well so much for niece and neph. sittin. All and all though no worries. Sunday I actually got up and took the kids and both dogs for a walk to the park. Enjoyed watching my dogs and a neighbor dog train hump all over the park. I swear it was like a lab golden sandwich. Myles humpin their lab who at the same time was humpin Bailey.. doggie train! LOL. YEAH YOU HAD TO BE THERE I guess. So the kids had a great morning. I fulfilled a Mommy promise. i dont get to do those very often even though I wish I could more. Time and time again I cant fulfill promises Ive made to my kids. I got to either stop making them or not fail them. It was nice to have a moment with just them when they are behaving and I am in a frame of mind where I can just relax and ENJOY them!
On with the week. the start of this week has been so far slow. I HATE MONDAYS. I am feeling like I'm getting a bit fuzzy in anatomy and physiology. i have my first exam next week and the lab practical will be a B!tch. I need more time with a microscope but cant get it. Time is not my friend anymore. I will have to really hit the histology books. Work... nothing exceiting yet but I'll keep up on it
 . I did start decorating my office though... spiderwebs all over the place and hanging spiders, and a halloween decor on the door... I LOVE HALLOWEEN! I cant wait...  Ooooo! September 07 time...oh crap.
I cant think of anything to say.
My son. he learned to ride his bike with out the training wheels! yeah. Now he just needs mom or dad to give him a starting push and away he goes. I spent a vast 2 minutes along side him while I half ran half galloped down the street making sure he wouldnt fall. He picked it up real fast....
Kids... how do you get them to not whine? Im talking the every word out of the mouth whine. .. uggh.
later maybe August 25 First week and counting... and son's tragedy
First week of school and I have already DISECTED A RAT! Let me tell you that was a new and very interesting experience. Yeah I know it was a bit gross and the smell was not all that appealing but it was pretty amazing! I learned some cool tid bits of info about rats... *pinning down a rat's paw to the dissecting tray is a lot harder than it looks. *scissors are easier to use than a dull school scalpel blade. *when using a bulb syringe rat lungs inflate amazingly well (much different than human lungs) *rats have no gallbladder *rats have a HUGE liver *a rat’s penis has a right angle in it. (Almost wrote angel) *and most importantly... those little suckers have a huge load of sh!t in em! Oh what a wonderful week it's been . Tomorrow I start Statistics. uggh! I HATE MATH CLASSES. I just pray the teacher is slow and understanding and talks better than my friend’s real estate teacher. You can check her out for a giggle (okay I LMFAO) at her latest blog. Keep it real yo! Oh yeah and my son tonight had the biggest owie he has ever had. He was riding his bike in the back yard and he crashed on the pool gate and his bike crashed then against the house then he jumped over his bike on to the patio. When he landed on the patio he cut open his big toe from the side of it up to the nail bed and he scraped off the skin from on top of his toe. He had blood all over the side of his foot he was a mess. He cried like a fire engine and ran fast all over the house (this is being narrated by my son by the way...) My husband called me as I was driving home informing me we might need to go to the hospital. When I got there my son with tears streaming down his face would not let me touch him with out putting up a fierce fight! I poured some numbing liquid on it and after some more screaming (I think in fear) he realized he couldn’t feel his toe! It was cleaned and antibacterialized and wrapped in a very nursely fashion! Good thang I got skills! And here I thought we were going to go to the state fair tonight... yummy deep fried Twinkies! ~no we didnt go to the hospital. Saved by Doctor MOM.
August 21 fall semester!Wow talk about busy. This damn server has been so freaking slow I am first typing it up on a word doc just so I can get this started. Whew!
First day of fall semester, so far I am ahead, now to keep it that way. I feel great to be back in school. It’s kind of funny wanting the stress of the “cram”. I don’t know how to describe it but I enjoy learning all there is about the body, it’s my groove thang! I am glad to have John my old Organic Chem. classmate as a friend in the class. I definitely have a strong partner for the class.
Wine lovers or neophytes check out how to read a WINE label, I am also going to start a Wine Guide List. (thanks Moose!)
…And to both my sisters and good friends who started this semester of “hell” I’m right there with you all! May our eyes not droop at a lectures lull; our minds not wander to this past summer fun. May we bear through the quizzes and tests till the final…When our rewards for putting up with endless homework and study, shine like the dreams we have paid for with money! ~CHEERS!
Okay I know that was very corny but I am tired, and silly I do get when I am tired!
~night! August 19 RearrangeMoved a couple of things tonight. I added the funnies list. You have got to check out the tongue twister! One of my Doc's played it in clinic on
Fri. I almost pee'd laughing!
Feeling very tired tonight, its late, infact Im partly typing with my eyes closed... Lil sis is here tonight and staying over. I am encouraging her to start a blog. Ig nothing else for a privet on-line journal. I am thinking about her alot lately. I dont remember well what it is like to be 20 and desperataly in love with a broken heart. I'm glad those days are onver. over. soorrry.
 Worried. I am wishing she could see for herself how little importance a boyfriend can mean in her life. But right now that is all she is able to see, feel and breathe... and cry. I wish I could give her the courage to stand tall and take back the emotional weapon she gave him and for her to be able to say "no more... I am and deserve better than what you have for me..." and cry no more. I cant help her though. I can hardly relate. 10 years her senior, married with 2 kids. I am feeling so out of touch with any of the crap she has to face. Humph. Tonight I feel like a bad sis.
 yawn... goodnight. August 17 VAS CUT QUEEN!Mondays VAS turned out to be a no-show. Oh well he must have know I was a little cord queezy. Tuesday I was ready to go. but only one of two showed up and I nailed it. Did three more today with out so much as a shiver. It was great! The Docs going to show me how to close and tie...
So enough of that. I am happy to report I have recruited one to the blog-side! Check out Cali-lilmama at:craniumtranquility.spaces.live.com Sorry I dont know yet how to make it a hyperlink! Go over and let her feel the love!
Today. Besides may kick azz day at work, Ive been getting along. I am starting school the 21st and I am starting to feel abit edgy because of it. I dont know if it's nerves, excietment or impatience that has got me all awry but the 21st cant get here soon enough. I had already bought my books and had started reading/studying last week. I cant help it. Its like I am hungry to get started on this semester. Maybe its because its anatomy and physiology. Its going to be a tough semester and I want to get ahead of it. I have two maybe three semesters to go befor I can apply for the bachelors nursing program at sac state and I want it bad! I had taken my books to work today. LAUGH! I never got to even look at them it was so busy!
Coming home sucks! I hate hate hate traffic. But I can proudly say I blew off all the frustration from driving on... THE TREADMILL! Wholly crap people I actually got on the thing! I walked a fast pace and used arm weights for 30 miniutes and then bumped it up to an army ranger shuffle for the next ten miniutes. I finished the last ten with an incline of 10 and slowed it down to really work the buttocks... I had to work off those damn raisen pasteries that I ate today 3of them!
crudd... kids having fit..
well got to go mom work to do!!! jeeze!
August 14 VasectomyOkay.. here goes nothin,
Every time I assist in a VAS I have to go get Mike my boss to finish, I get ill about half way through. simple procedure really but nontheless. here goes. Mike is on vacation, at 0800 I have my first VAS with out him. I better not hit the floor.
August 10 Zoe's here!7 1/2 lbs, 19 inches, blue eyes a wispy brown hair. She was born on Wed at 3:27. How wonderful! She is too damn cute too!
no cone head at all, really no troll impression from her! Mom is doing fine and already home yesterday. She's about ready to start loans any day now!!! I'll have pics when I get em!
School starts the 21st, bought my books...$ 270.00 and I'm freakin out. I found one of the books online and if its do able when I see it in person Im taking my main 160.00 book back and tellin em to KMA. lord.
Work is going good, penis prostesis guy came by today so I could see all the implants. WoW that was a different in-service unlike any other. I had no idea that there was so much to a proper penis placement for a perky penis.
 Peter my proud peppy penis was in good company. I have a educational model that is attached to a model stand and in maluable, you can position it upright or down... it even comes with a nice round set of testttt's... the special part though is that I have my daughters Mr the Potato head cheezin smile stuck in the urethera and a constricting loop around the base of it... looks like a bolo tie. I get alot of remarks on how 'interesting' it is!
anyway I really and quite normal really! August 06 Baby Zoe watch...day 3 overdue.Ceece...still no baby, but I bet she's a little more relaxed now. After a good long foot soak and massage complements of yours truly I think she will hopefully sleep better.
Son's thoughts todayMommy this lemonade tastes better than toothpaste!
Did Somebody Say CHICKEN NUGGETS!!!!!
.....Megan did it!
I'm to tired to clean up my room...
YuMMeeee!
He is such a boy! |
. The kids were not ready. Megan’s hair was still wet, she was naked and whining about what she was going to wear for Santa.... hummm. 
Not sure if Santa needs to check in to AA or not but he looked a little rough this year!
. She had typed out a very smal note (font 4) that she would try very hard to find her other tooth and for her to brush her teeth more. She left 6.00 for Megan. 1.00 for the "lost" one and 5.00 for the pearly white one.
