Saying a person has expired is correct usage of the word, but I think it sounds freakin’ awful. To me, it sounds like the person is yogurt or some sort of food product. I would just prefer to hear the words, passed on, deceased, gone, or even dead.

I know, what a random rant but whatever.

Life. Life has been good as of late. I am loving every minute of my job. I have learned SO much in just two short week. I think I am going to love being a nurse! It really is a tough job, but the patients are worth it. I have yet to meet a patient that makes me crazy. I’m sure that moment is coming. I think I will have to be a nurse for a few years before I get jaded….at least I hope. Actually, I hope I am never jaded. I have seen some interesting stuff thus far and feel as though that will continue throughout my summer. One thing is for sure, I will be the master of hanging piggyback IV bags and programming pumps

I have a FAST (Red Cross First Aid Service Team) event this weekend and that should be fun. I haven’t seen much action where that is concerned, but am pretty sure I will be a master of the band aids by the end of summer.

Monkey is playing baseball and loving it. He is doing really well for his first season. He is also in summer school and pretty excited about his CSI class. I guess at the end of summer school they get to solve a ‘real’ case. He was all excited last week because they lifted fingerprints with cocoa powder. I love him!

I guess that is the long and short of it. Mike and I are busy doing stuff the weekends we don’t have our babies and when we have our babies, we are busy spending time with them!!

Oh and I am SO happy we finally got some warm weather up in this hizzy!!

Like I said, I will never order from them again. I have never had a problem with them before but this pisses me right off!! I even said to the guy, “How can you say it takes 2 days and it is actually going to take a week.” He said, “It’s 2-3 days and we have to process the order, blah blah.” I said, “Well you shouldn’t advertise 2 day air and it take a week to get to the customer.” He says, “That isn’t a week, you should have it by Wednesday.” I said, “Yeah, and the order was placed on Thursday, that is basically a week.” I told him that it was ridiculous that I paid extra for 2 day and it will take a week for me to receive my order. He wasn’t getting it and he said that Thursday was the latest I should get it. UGH!! What a fucking rocket scientist. Wow, that is seven days and last I checked, a week is seven days.

Oh, I’m a nurse extern. Sorry, forgot to mention that.

Anyhow. Not a ton to say about it other than the staff have all been wonderful and the patients are awesome. I mean, they are all really sick but mostly in good spirits. I am working on the hematology/oncology floor and I have never seen or hung so many bags of antibiotics!! It was pretty amazing to say the least. I am looking forward to learning a crap ton this summer and honing in on my skills, yo!!

Soooo that is what I am doing for the summer.

He is very anxious for the boys to get the talk. He said he heard that the boys get condoms. His response? “I won’t be needing those until I’m done with college!” There, now I have it in cyber writing and on the exact day he spoke those words to me!! Precious. If only I believed it. I know he does…for now. How great though, he plans on attending college and waiting until he is married to have sex. I hope he succeeds at both but I’m a realist.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. And I will try and do better writing. I guess I’m just busy, yet find nothing super to blog about.

I am just so happy to be done with it all this semester!! Now if I could just learn how to fix lawn mowers…

If someone has an explanation, I would love to hear it.
