Love my Fridays...

Hope everyone has had a great week!! Mine has been so so, but can only get better or so I hope... Well so far my Friday has begun to be pretty awesome, yes I had to work today, but so what, thank goodness I have a job right? I found out two rocking great things.


Great thing # 1: I can make payments on my account to be a Certified Nursing Assistant until I take my final on June 28th and the fees for the NNAAP (National Nurse Aide Assessment Program exam) ARE INCLUDED! YEAH!

Great thing # 2: I can place my previous student loans into an in-school deferment and bundle with my new loans! TRANSLATION: I don't have to make any more payments on student loans until I graduate!!! I CAN SAVE SOME MONEY (for right now at least) woooo hooooo!!!! (To some this is old news, but to me this is brand spanking new hot off the press!!!)

This has totally made my weekend, I wish today was orientation, but I still have one more week. Next Friday, April 30th @ 11 a.m.. I am so excited!! My hubby told me not to cry (talk about looking like a real jerk face) lol and he told me not to raise my hand and ask a gazillion questions like a re re.. lol!!

Why, Why, Why?

In lieu of the daily Just Because.. one of my co-workers sent me a why, why, why email. I thought it was hilarious!! I am posting here to share..

Why, Why, Why, Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are almost dead?

Well, it isn't all right, so why don't we say, 'That really hurt, why don't you watch where you're going?' (I did say, "What in the hell are you doing?" to a man who did this to me in WalMart.)

Just Because...

I missed yesterday, so here is a double dose of just because...

Why is it that a person who earns 6+ figures will argue about getting free parking?... just because.

Why does the cable, internet, and phone not work when there is a storm coming, but it hasn't begun to rain?... just because.

Monday's are so Blahhhhhhhh...

I say that because I am exhausted and would prefer to be home in my bed right now, but nope I am in my office, scanning through Nursing articles, because hey, I can't wait to be a nurse. Know what I am saying?? I tried all weekend to blog, but my husband had so much studying to do and he likes me near when he is stuyding, just this weird thing we have.. lol So I was having nurse blog withdrawals, and just needed to see something on nursing. As soon as my hubby went to the grocery store, I watched re runs of Mercy. I don't even like that show!! She is so mentally screwed up. Ughhhh! But I got my quick fix. Yeahh!!!! I have been searching for a Nursing magazine subscription or articles (hardbound) that I can have delivered, without you having to be an existing nursing student, no such luck yet. If anyone has any ideas, that would be great! So yeah, next Friday, I go for orientation!!!! I have been planning out my schedule for the summer semester and it is pretty wack that I get the piddly classes that are left over from what the upperclassmen don't want:-( uhhh like my husband! But he was so sweet, he tried to hold some classes for me when he picked his classes, since he got to do that a whole month ahead of me and my incoming class... So messed up! But that didn't work, because as soon as he let one go that I didn't need, it was gone! Gone! in like 2.3 seconds of a minute! waaaaaa!! So hopefully I meet some really cool people next week like I did during my entrance exam, and no still no financial aid update... My hubby thinks they are waiting until next week after orientation.. So here is the breakdown of potential class selection, considering my hubby goes to school full time and we are trying to work around everyone's schedule with the babies including the sitter and the fact that I am starting the evening CNA program in June.

Possible Summer Classes starting May 10, 2010

Psychology - pre req
Sociology - pre req
English - pre req
Economics - program of study
Political Science - program of study
Mat 0097 - remedial (extra class - ughhh)

We'll see what happens next week...

Just Because...

Good Monday Morning!!! Ok so over the weekend, my husband and I had an ahh ha moment. You know the moment when that great idea hits you square in the face? Yes, that moment. Here we were drying the dishes, and it hits him, "why does such and such happen, just because?" So we went into stand up comedian mode, "why is it that when you are trying to get to work ON TIME all the stop lights turn red when you get to them just because?" Or "why does it rain on the weekend when you have outdoor plans, but it has been sunny all week while you have been indoors at work just because?" lol. So I decided to come up with a daily "Just Because" moment. Some will make you laugh, some will probably be only a moment that I have experienced, but some will make you say to yourself, she is surely right about that! lol. I hope you send some of your Just Because moments, make them as hilarious as you want!!! So here's mine for the day.. Why is it that 18 wheeler trucks drive on small two lane roads taking up 5 car lengths in the middle of rush hour traffic, Just Because...

Sensitivity - We lack it...

I know, I am a little late. I did say I would post this morning, but time got the best of me at work. So Sorry. Here's the breakdown. Listening?

Day 1 (Monday)
Have I mentioned I am on weight watchers? Well I used to weigh 280 pounds after my daughter was born and now I am way down in the low 180's. Good huh? Tell me about it, it would be even better if my husband (who might I add would be a size 0-2 if he were a woman)wouldn't tempt me with my favorite burgers and milkshakes, well he did good this time and didn't get the milkshake, but NO instead he brings home the warm, crispy baked doughy goodness with extra powdered sugar on it, the one that tastes like funnel cake at a theme park, woo those are so good, but I digress, here he comes, up the stairs (since he was just getting in from class)with the hot, smelling good bag, aghh I wanted to kill him, hello it was 10:30 P.M.! Hey, I had done well the entire day, ate my salads, counted my points, drank my water, walked/jogged 2.25 miles with my co worker and you bring this home, are ya freaking kidding me! I ate every last one, lol! And kissed him for it afterwards. He knew exactly what I needed; mentally, but my size 14 rumpus surely didn't! Humgph! Sensitivity issue #1

Day 2 (Tuesday)
Did I mention how great of a husband I have? and how crappy of a wife I am? Driving home from work, talking to my hubby on the phone; a routine we faithfully live by, laughing it up, haahaaa, baaahhhaaaa, everything is funny. Smooth ride home, no traffic, just nice. Alright this is going to be a nice night. Get home, pull into the garage, huh? do I hear music playing, slow music? It's 5:30 P.M. surely my little rugrats are still up running around. Walk inside, dinner is done (it normally is anyway, so no big surprise there, told you I have a great hubby)lights are dim, the kitchen is clean, WTH?? blinds are drawn, no kids around and my husband is on the sofa shirtless. See where I am going with this? Give hubby a big kiss, totally surprised, loving the mood, and the moment. In the midst of it all, I say ohhh let me run upstairs and kiss the kids. WTH! Have I lost my mind? Why would you want to kiss the kids at that moment? As I am walking towards the stairs, hubby says wait I have a surprise for you, and hands me the extra vaccuum I have been waiting for (seriously I was)I even played UNO and bet my card hands for it. There it was with 2 pretty blue bows on it. I kissed my husband and said I will be right back. again WTH! I run up the stairs, without seeing my husbands look of disappointment and not even realizing that I had hurt him, not taking the time to think about the effort that he took to plan this evening for us, or how so very little times like that moment we actually have. He came upstairs, with a look of defeat and just like that the mood was gone. I had the gall to still believe I did nothing wrong. We ate dinner, he left to play tennis, and what should have been a perfect night, turned out to be crap. Of course we made up, but it goes to show that we are so entwined with ourselves that if we just took a moment to look around we may be able to see that we are possibly hurting the ones we love and the ones who support our decisions the most. Sensitivity issue #2

Day 3 (Wednesday)
Work! Why do people walk into someone else's office and whisper to another co-worker about what another co-worker did???? Arghhhhh! Or enter a room and never acknowledge you sitting in there, uhh, yeah you're in my office jerk face. Well I guess I better build up my backbone for the nursing field, because hey I've worked with these people for over 4 years, imagine working with different people everyday!! Sensitivity issue #3

Well that's it for now, with my update of the week, and my sensitivity issues. I am sure there will be plenty more, but for now I am cool. But, I will tell you that sensitivity comes on both ends, yours and the receiver, let's just try to keep it to a minimum. K?
