Well I am making a bold leap today. I have been draging my feet on adding one more thing to my plate... I have been told by so many people lately that I need to get a blog started or I need to write a book. Well let me tell you book writing sounds like a lot of work and I am not all for more work. I seem to do well with what I have now so why add to it, right?!
I want to set a few ground rules first... I welome anyone into my tid bits of life. I encourage feedback or comments. (If that is even something that you can do) I am not a super smart blogger, as a matter of fact I will be Googling "how to blog" as soon as I am done with this. :) I am who I am and if I can accept that I am hoping you can too. Oh and the big one that all should know is... I can't spell. I am well aware of the spell check feature that is available but I often think too fast and forget to click it prior to saving an entry. Any of you who followed my CaringBridge site will know this :) It actually makes me giggle when I go back and read things i type and see how many errors that I have. It is just me... I like to refer to my self in third person, a lot so I am told. I guess it is my way of keeping myself in check. I also love sarcasm. I am not sure everyone always catches it and I think at times it is hard ot capture in writing but I am goign to give it a 100% effort!
My goals of blogging.... Huh this is a tough one... Really it is just an outlet for me to release what I am thinking and feeling. I have really enjoyed writing on my CaringBridge site and I think this will be a nice transition to keeping everyone up to date on what it going on with me. I hope to create laughs as that is what I truely enjoy doing. I like to make jokes about stressful things in my life as it helps me get through it.
I am not sure where to start so I will just start...
Let's start with my last 24 hours... I woke up yesterday not knowing if I was going to barf or poo. Yesterday you see was the first day back on the floor since I got sick. I haven't been on the floor since Septmeber 2009! (by "floor" I mean bedside nursing) I was so nervous to tackle the unknown yet once again. I showered, dusted off the good ole scrubs, and hugged hubs goodbye, got in the black bullet (my blaizer) and headed off to St Could Hospital to face my fears. I ended up pairing myself up with a good co-worker, Jason, that I knew I could laugh my nerves off with, that I could trust to understand that this was huge. ~Thanks Jason for letting me hang with you for a few hours~ It went well, I am excited to get back to the buzz of nursing and seeing my co-workers again. I love the other component of my position but I dont'; get to socialize like I used to. Socialization is a major part of me, weird I know but it is.
I left work early to come home and spend some time with my monkey (aka Bella) and attempt to make a good supper. Bella had spent the morning with Grandma so I could work, they had gone to a play and brought me lunch. During monkey's nap she was restless. I put her down to nap in my bed but she had made her way to the hall and eventually the couch by the end of her nap. She work up and said she had to use the bathroom... That should have been my first clue... She stood infront of the potty with a look of horror and yep you guessed it... blessed the potty with lunch and possibly breakfast. That then continued in a cycle of cough, gag, vomit, breath breath, cough, gag, vomit... for the rest of the evening. She occasionally changed it up with a sip or two between vomits but all night I found my self reaching for the "barf bucket" to avoid changing the sheets. I have a keen ear to the swallow swallow "mama" plea from Bella. I think I was able to sleep in 10 minute intervals at least 8-10 times through out the night. This morning she woke up wanting to help me with laundry... huh again maybe I should have had a clue... Neatless to say laundry can wait and she needs me. She is now fast a sleep on my landing and I am passing time on here. I look forward to the challenges the day will bring. The joys of motherhood never quit giving, the gift of lasting life is ever so present! In-between naps I will tend to her needs and while she is napping I will tend to the soaps that I have missed for weeks and maybe throw in a few hours on Facebook. Gotta love life right!!
If there is anyting that you all want me to talk about throw it at me and I will do my best! Otherwise you will be forced to hear/read what is on my mind... :)
Love and Blessings,
