TMI?

Today at work Katie informed me that she was really gassy, and "I've been tootin' 'n scootin' down the hallways a few times....I've even had to swallow a few"

TMI?  Perhaps to some, but in our friendship?  Never.

Our Furry Love Child

So My thanks go out to Katie for listening to my trouble about Mine and Matt's Furry Love Child, A.K.A.  Ava.

I dropped her off to get spayed this past Monday, and like the trooper she is she just trotted back to the Vet Techs, who fawned all over her, and promptly forgot about me.  I, however, didn't forget about her.  Walking out the door I called mom, near tears, whining that I already missed her.  She was appropriately sorry, until she asked how long it had been.  When I informed her that it had been only several seconds, she just snorted and I could almost hear her eyes rolling.

Matt missed her too,  I got texts throughout the day:  I miss Ava,  I bet She's so sad,  I hope she is ok.

That, of course, made me miss her even more!
So he gets home from work with a plastic bag, I look at it inquisitively, he pulls out a dog stuffed animal, and said:
I couldn't resist getting her a toy for being such a trooper and having such a big surgery!

I missed her all day, and since she had to spend the night at the vet's I missed her all night too!

But, to be honest there were two times that I didn't miss her so much:

1: When I got home from running errands, and it was pouring the rain:  I didn't have to take her outside

2: When I woke up for work the next morning, I didn't have to take her out.

But yesterday we got her back and she has been frisky and rambunctious all evening and all day today. 

So rambunctious, in fact, that this is what happens.



LOVE!

So I forgot how much I LOVE hot topic, especially for graphic, kid friendly t-shirts I can wear to work!
Matt and I made an excursion out and stopped in, and I got 4 shirts that I can wear to work for $40, aaand
a snap bracelet watch!  It's epic. LOL.

Needless to say I have been wearing them at work this week. 

Today is TMNT.

The joys of floating

As a nurse, it is a hazard of the job, that when your patient numbers drop, you might have the joy to be floated to help out another unit.

That is my lot today. 

I walk in at the crack of dawn to ses if I have my same lovely kiddos back from the previous day, but what do I behold?   I drew the short straw and have to go over to "The Dark Side" AKA: Bone Marrow Transplant.  lol.  So as I trudge over there quickly donning my grumpy pants.  I take a gander through the windows of the patients room to check IV fluid rates, and what do I see?!  They are both freaking adorable!!  Away go my grumpy pants

So as I am kicking butt and taking names over on BMT, and get one of my kiddos out the door, and finish up all of my work on the other, I learn that I am floating again, at 3pm down to the surgical floor.

This is another floor where it could be an utter disaster.  However as I am unpacking my grumpy pants, I am cut short by the fact that my other two kids are also adorable!!!

So today I have learned:

~ Floating doesn't have to be awful, so don't jump to conclusions

~ It can get you out of the crappy assignment you had the day before
~ Babies are snuggly and cute (well I didn't really learn that, but it reinforced that idea)
~ And last but certainly not least, it makes you appreciate where you work, while at the same time being a nice change of pace

An added perk:

~ If it's a slow day, you can catch up on your reading if you can find your book online <<cough>> <<cough>> and have a screen protector

Ahh Sweet Victory!

I have reached a milestone unmet in any previous dog training I have performed.

I have successfully taught Ava to Speak!  And On Command!  (Which is the tricky part)  Once we got her barking (by blowing over an empty beer  bottle {which we have plenty of}) it was not too hard to get her to bark. :-)

Video to follow soon

You know it's true love when...

You are laying in bed and you sneeze and fart at the same time, and you look at each other and start laughing...

Which Is what happened to me last night.

True Story

Thanks!

As We were eating lunch today, my orientee and I turned to see what was on TV.  Low and behold it was TLC.  Which is usually fine and often enjoyable. 

Unfortunately around noon on 

weekdays TLC plays about 3 hrs of

A Baby Story, which is awkward

when you're eating lunch.

Right as we both look at the TV, the husband is all up in his wife's face with a camera.  (I'm talking a real schnoz shot.)

I turne to Katie and said: If Matt is up in my face like that when I'm having a baby, I'll most likely kill him.

We of course laughed and without missing a beat Katie said:  Well he won't need to, because I'll be videoing for you guys!  That way He'll be able to be in it too! 

Gee. Thanks...?

Somedays at work: A confession

Ok so here it is:  Some days when I'm at work, I just want to eat lunch in peace.  I don't want to know what's going on in your life with your baby daddy or your pregnancy.  I don't want to know what happened 2 weeks ago when you did some random thing.  I don't want to hear the same story you've been telling all morning, and I certainly don't want to hear it 4 times in the glorious 30 minutes that I have to myself to eat lunch.

Yes, Somedays I can be social and enjoy a conversation at lunch, but the fact remains.  If you've told the story once, rest assured that it has made it's way around the unit.  It is a group of women, if you recall, and it can be a huge estrogen fest, and we can be extremely gossipy.

This is what I felt like at lunch today.  I hope you all enjoy.
