A Little of This.....

So, I have been terrible about taking pictures. Sorry.....she looks the same.....

I have been working like a dog over the past couple of weeks. Let me just say that I am FOR SURE earning my paycheck! There is a girl that I work with that just got married this past weekend and I have been covering her floors....ortho!! WOW BABY!! I can just say that she works her tail off!! Today was a little different. I was pretty excited because I hit the ground running and was doing well being caught up until one of my patients coded. After chest compressions for about 10 minutes, I called the son, he came. They started another round of chest compressions.....son was COMPLETELY distraught....he asked them to stop....they did. It was very sad. Anyway, that consumed my ENTIRE morning! In the midst of all of this something kinda humorous happened. I called the funeral home to arrange for them to pick up the body and I gave them demographic info.....they asked for time of death and I asked the doctor sitting right behind me. His answer...."she isn't dead yet." My response OUT LOUD "she isn't dead yet?!" Funeral home..."um, ma'am, we can't pick up a body if they haven't died yet." I MEAN COME ON!!!! I just had to laugh. DUH! It was just one of those moments that was so bizarre and the person from the funeral home never cracked....super serious the entire time. I guess that he is in the right business.

Anyway, after lunch people were being discharged left and right.....normal stuff BUT tomorrow is a holiday and then there is a weekend...makes things a little crazy around hospitals! I left at 5:45. I will go back tomorrow...to work....ON A HOLIDAY! Glutton for punishment=HOLIDAY PAY!!!

Rachel is doing well. She loves going to "school" (daycare) and is learning so much. She is talking up a storm and has her 2-year old days...already! She has had a cold but after a spiked fever the other night of 102.7, she was fine the next morning and now doesn't even have congestion or drainage! Hmm....

I am doing well with my Premier Jewelry. I got all of my 70 pieces of jewelry in this week and have been playing with and wearing that stuff. I have my training show here on July 15th and I already have 3 shows booked toward my goal of 9 before August 29th! I have 16 people who have said that they will come to my training show!! YIPPEE!! This is going to be fun!

Brice is still working....slowing down a little...IT'S ABOUT TIME! Summers are usually slow for him, but not this year. O'well.....

That's about it!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of...

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I...

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water....
