Too much!

I realize that I probably have no idea what I'm talking about, AND that I'm not a mother. You also have to consider that I want to be a nurse. Talk about he human body (usually) doesn't bother me. But lately I've noticed quite a few people I know, and some love, have had babies. I myself am not ready for that phase in my life. But, I feel like when/if I am, there are certain details about this whole experience that should be kept private. For example, I don't think it needs to be posted online ( Facebook, blogs, Twitter, etc) in explicit details how every second of your delivery was. I don't think the world needs to know about (forgive me for being so blunt) your cervix and how far you've dilated. Or how while breast feeding your nipples get sore and cracked. I could go on and on about the things people have posted. I understand if this is something you have a conversation about with close family. But I find it very awkward and off-putting that people feel the need to divulge details like this to the online world. Personally I find it rather gross. would you discuss the same details about a colonoscopy, or a pap smear? Like I said, I want to be a nurse, and in doing so conversations about the details of your body will and have to take place.... in the privacy of a doctors office, hospital room, etc. Hopefully I haven't offended anyone, but this has been bothering me.

Things I've learned Recently

1. College is a huge waste of money if you don't study.
2. Car insurance can drop you if you cost them too much.
3. As much as I would like to believe that everyone is trustworthy and good, its just not true. :(
4. For the average college student, its relatively necessary to take a break now and then. I've figured this out the hard way. 2 years of college in 1 year, no stopping, 21 credits during the summer. So I've decided that Spring semester will be spent focusing on work, family, and keeping my house less disgusting. ;)
5. I've realized how much I LOVE coming up with the perfect present for someone I love. I think I'm having more fun with the process of building/making/putting together/buying it/this/these (trying to be vague) than the person will be to receive the present. I'm a nerd, I love surprising people.
6. A 120 lb dog in heat is.... ridiculous. Would not recommend it. "Get your pets spayed or neutered folks"
7. Trying to cut back on sugar in my diet has brought to my attention that I am, in fact, completely addicted to it.  (Seriously, have you ever looked at how much sugar is in food you eat? I sure hadn't.)
8. Twitter. :)
9.  I'm a list person. :)
10. I've decided I should learn to cut my own hair. Because trying to explain an "A-line bob with layers only in the back" is too difficult and turns out looking like mans haircut. 

New Nephew!

I'm an aunt again! Dustin and Jenna's new baby, and he's adorable!

Uncle "Ry-ry," Zoey, and Zaylor

EMT

Maybe it doesn't seem like much, But I'm thrilled to finally have my EMT badge! It only took them 2 months to get it to me. :)


Woohoo!



Ouch

The last couple weeks have been, less than ideal.  I was excited to have a couple days off of school without working.  I started my first day off by taking Riley to Petsmart. Side note: Riley was kindof sick, we changed her food and it wasnt sitting well with her stomach. So the trips outside had definitely been more frequent. I was walking down an isle when I noticed Riley staring to squat, I ran out side with her to prevent an accident.  While on the grassy island by the parkinglot, she spun in circles getting ready to go. While doing this, all 120 lbs of her ran into me.  Knocking me off the curb. My ankle rolled with an extremely loud snap. After a few seconds waiting for the pain to pass, a lady came running over asking if I was okay. Aparently she heard the snap of my ankle from accross the parkinglot and came to check on me.  (meanwhile riley just stood next to me, licking the tears off my face) I kept expecting the pain to stop at any time.  But that didn't happen and was followed by the urge to throw up. A couple guys in a van stopped and asked if they could help. One guy stood behind me to give me something to lean on, while the other called an ambulance.  I called Jake from work to come get Riley. The ambulance showed up pretty fast, within 3-4 mins. ( pretty impressive I thought, especially for something as minor as an ankle) The paramedics wrapped my ankle up and "signed me over" to Jake. We headed to the Emergency Room and there was someone waiting for us as we pulled up. They started an IV and gave me something for the pain. It helped, until they took me to Xray. The had me move my ankle in some weird ways, and I was back to square one. It was as if they hadn't just given me morphine.  The xrays came back and it wasn't broken.  Could have fooled me! :)  So now after a week and a half on crutches, I still have the boot on. I have another appointment with a specialist tomorrow. Possibly another xray, and MRI. I guess we'll see.

All I know is, my cankle hurts is and turning colors that are not normal.

Ps: using crutches hurts my hands almost as much as my ankle!

   

Another Hair Cut



The picture doesn't show the color very well, but this is it. :)
Was time for another change I guess.
