Lazy day!!

Didn't do much today... Had the day off... yaaaay... Took my lil guy to the doctor... That's always a trip... As the doctor was listening Nick's heart and lungs... He began to smack the doc upside the head with his matchbox car... I was cracking up... The doc turned at looked at me "could you please hold that arm!" I began to laugh... He didn't think it was too funny... As I grabbed Nick's hand he began pulling on the doc's ear with the other hand... and saying Earrrr Earrrrr!!! Still giggling, I asked would you like me to hold that one too???? He said no I'm finished... I said good because he probably would have kicked you next... He does not like to be held back... Little fighter boy... Get's that from his mama!! he he he
Other then that excitement nothing much else today... I took apart my kitchen ceiling fan because I bought new blades for it... well B won't let me use his drill to put holes in the new blades... soooo any bets on how long my ceiling fan sits?????? Let me tell ya I'll go buy my own drill before too long... or bust the locks on the tool chest... Some how I think my own drill will be far less work and much cheaper....
Tell me guys... why do you all act as if the tool chest is a sacred shrine??? My hubby has all these really nice tools... That many of which I bought.... But they never get used.... hmmmmm something is wrong with this picture... I have my tools for "little things" as he would say.... like taking apart the ceiling fan....
Thinking I should invest in my own "tool chest".... Since I do many of the Mrs. Fix-It things around the house.... I should find a bigger tool chest then his and hot pink in color... park it right next to his in the garage....That would make for a great conversation piece for him and "the boys"..... oooooh I think I'm on to something here!!!!!

Rude Awakening!!!

Last nite... I'm fast alseep in my bed... I wake up to my husband getting home, pounding on our bedroom window and yelling "get the fuck out of my yard"... I continued to sleep (thought he was yelling at the random animals that we have partying in our yard at nite... cats, coons and even deer that set off our sensor lights)... But then I heard another voice... Opened my eyes and look at the window... not just one face do I see but two... Ok what the fuck is going on.... The guy is telling B to keep his voice down... B says ok who the fuck are you and what are you doing in my yard??? The guy says "milwaukee county sherriff" B says I want to see you badge.... Finally I stand up and look out the window... Two guys in swat gear with riffle packs on their backs.... They told B come to the door... He calls 911... Two guys in my yard with riffle packs and refusing to show ID, saying they are sherriffs.... Dispatch says well maybe thats because they are.... ok kinda rude.... B says thanks just checking.... sarcastically.... (mean while all the americas most wanted shit is running through my head with people posing as officers) At the door the one sheriff has his badge out... ok now why are you in my yard at 1:30am in swat gear??? Apparently the lady that lives behind us...nice lady in her 70s was being held at gun point by her son.... NICE... The sherriff proceeds to ask B "gotta ladder??" He says yea, for what??? We want to set up snippers on your garage. Are you serious?? WTF??? I then look out the window... there's not just 2 cops... my whole back yard was filled 20-25... Good lord.... B asks the cop are we in any danger because the other window next to the one you were knocking on is my son's room... The cop says "take him down in your basement" because his window is a clear shot from the neighbors house.... Great wake up the son....crabby as hell...crying the entire time we sat down stairs.... two and a half hours later...3:45am the cop knocks on our door and says ok...we are done... Neighbors son surrendered...everybody is safe.... holy shit what a crazy night.... Just when you think your neighborhood is quiet and safe...some crazy shit like this happens... B says ok we gotta move... yea okI'll get right on that one....

Help Diabetics!!

Ok usually I am not the most politcal advocate however, when it comes to certain things such as diabetic coverage for health insurance. I need to act. This particular bill is going to allow health insurance companies not to cover diabetics (supplies, prescriptions etc). They are trying to support a state run health insurance for diabetics. We all know these programs cover prescriptions and things inadequately. Look at medicare and how our elderly suffer with costs. Many of you know that I am a type 1 diabetic and have been for 16 years. It has been a struggle and I have been close to death a few times due to this disease. Allowing insurance companies to discriminate their coverage is stupid, for any disease not just diabetes. Many of you know people or are people who suffer from diabetes. Prescriptions in general are not cheap. The average diabetic spends 100s of dollars alone on medications and supplies necessary to sustain life. If you would like to send an email to the senators opposing this bill. Click here Thanks for your support.

Auntie A update!!

I stopped to see Auntie Aleta today before I had to work!! She is doing well... Well as good as you can be following a hip surgery.. She was much more awake today, pain seemed to be under control and actually a bit of her spunky self... Uncle Arnie is already planning modifications to her walker so she is completely functional in the kitchen when she comes home... I thought she was going to slap him with her reaching tongs after that comment...Anyways thought I would share the good news with everyone... she should be home friday.. Wish you a speedy recovery Auntie and if you need anything call me!!!!!

What a Day?!?!

Oh lord.. Joint commission is observing the hospital this week... LOVELY!!! This just makes my job 10x's more stressful. My boss yesterday is walking around the unit to every nurse...make sure the docs sign all their unsigned verbal orders....Does your chart have this??? That??? and the other thing???? Ok...First off, I'm lucky if I can ask them a question regarding patient care...now you want me to keep them for 15 minutes to sign pages and pages of orders?? Sorry...ain't my job... They know they need to sign/co-sign these orders...They are big boys and girls... I need to take care of the patients....not chase them around...AAAAAAAHHHHHHH twelve hours of this crap.... Unfortunately, nursing is not about patient care anymore its about documentation/paperwork!!! That's such bullshyt!!! Anyway, as I'm leaving work.. I stop to see Auntie A... She's sleeping, so I didn't want to wake her, I spoke with her nurse. She's doing well and her surgery went fine... So I'll try and see her on thursday before I start work.... Proceeding to my truck..... Get shoulder blocked by some big dude 3 times the size of me...why???...who the hell knows.... mannnn your lucky I'm in my scrubs and I'm leaving work... I wanted to punch the asshole in the face....but I thought about it...kinda wanna keep my job this week... Thank the Lord I'm finally out of that place!!!! And I am off tomorrow... WOOOO HOOOO... Driving home...that's always a challenge... People IF YOUR GOING TO DO LESS THEN 65MPH.....STAY THE FUCK OUT OF THE LEFT LANE!!!! I was doing 45mph in the left lane... Trapped with a semi to my right and behind me.... I was very tempted to cruise the E lane...my luck I'd get busted.. Oh was I PISSED OFF!!! Finally get home at 10pm.... Put my son in bed...Slammed a beer or six.... and crashed!! I was sooooo exhausted & frustrated....But hell whats another day of stress!!! That's life....I need a vacation and another bottle of jack!!!

College Idiots!!!!

Ok I have to make a "blanket" comment from a friend's blog... Because my mouth is too big and I would take up half a page commenting on a story of his... This refers to STB's Anonymity story regarding the Rogan vs Idiot arguement.
In reference to this paragraph: "One of the funny things in the exchange is the kid saying he has accomplished nothing and has no money because he is in college. Lame excuse. Yes, college will suck your funds dry but that doesn't mean you cannot accomplish things. Maybe if you weren't sitting around emailing random people to insult them, you could be off doing some volunteer work or something to better your community."
Children, the because I'm in college excuse is lame. Quite frankly your broke and have accomplished nothing because your LAZY and UNMOTIVATED!!!! I personally had many accomplishments while attending college. I worked 40 hours plus, all throughout college. Two jobs. Nursing assistant and bartending... I studied nursing and computer studies... While in school I drove a new car. My junior year of college I purchased my own home and got married. (Did I forget to mention my parents didn't pay for me to attend school either. They also did not purchase my home or car... I DID....Yes they would purchase my books once in awhile.) I have a thing called a "student loan." Anyways, my senior year of college I also traveled to the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona to work in one of the hospitals (for free) for three weeks. All through school I did have a social life... I did go out and drink not every nite but once in awhile... At least fridays when I shot darts.... I also have a cousin who has 3 college degrees. Do you think she has a job...Nope... She lives at home with her mom... Quite discusting I think... Grow up and get a life of your own. This post isn't intended to brag about the things I have or the things I have done... It's intent is to inform people that it is possible to do things while your in college... I don't have the best of things and I definately don't have everything I want but the things I do have are mine and I am greatful for that...
