Counting Down til June 11th

I'm almost there, approximately 11 days until graduation!! My finals are on Wednesday, and then I'm gonna just pass out. Dont be surprised if I go into a coma-like state after that, possibly not waking until we leave for Disney World. I've got a lot of sleep to catch up on! I'm doing pretty good academically though, I've pretty much secured a passing grade, even if I flunk the final, so I'm feeling pretty good! All I need now is for everybody to just cheer me on :) Oh, and giftcards to a Spa would be great too, LOL! No, for real.....hehe j/k. I need to see a chiropractor in all reality, but I've heard once you start, you cant stop! So I think I'll suck it up for now. I'm just counting down the days, and so is Kevin, poor thing. I dont know if he can handle me like this much longer! I'm going crazy.....

My poor Nattie

I have to say, it's been a rough couple of weeks for Natalie! On top of Kevin been gone and having to be in daycare most of the week-while I'm at school and clinicals, the poor thing has been sick off and on since Kev left! First, it was an ear infection, which she got antibiotics for and it cleared up. Then, she stuck something in her ear, damaged the outside of her eardrum and it started bleeding, so I had to take her to the ER for that (it was past normal business hours-of course!). So, she had more medicine to take, just eardrops to prevent further infection. THEN this morning she woke up early, and I picked her up to cuddle in bed with me, and she was a little hot potato! Her temp was 103.8! I gave her Tylenol and took her to the Dr. later that day, only to find out that they dont know what's wrong with her. They tried to say it was Roseola (a harmless virus), but she had that when she was a baby and you cant get it again. So, I just have to watch her, give her Motrin to keep the temp under 101 and call again on Saturday if she's still hot. Hopefully she's not, because then they have to draw blood and possibly admit her. Kevin comes home on Saturday, and that's the last thing we need! This week is just gonna be nuts. Between my careplan, clinicals, studying for 3 tests this Wednesday, AND doting after a sick toddler (who's VERY clingy when she's sick) I just dont have the energy. HELP!

Do I look 25?

So, I guess my week didnt turn out THAT bad. Even though it was supposed to rain all day, it actually didnt rain at all on my birthday-stupid weather man, I coulda taken Natalie to the zoo! Instead we had dinner with my mother-in-law, which was nice. She's very supportive, especially when Kevin has to be gone for something. We went to Olive Garden, and I had tiaramisu for my birthday cake...yum! And Shawna's family sang to me, so my birthday was fulfilled. Except for candles, I didnt get to blow out 25 candles. Oh well...I probably would have fallen over anyway, and it never would have fit on my little tiaramisu....I'm getting old! Do I look it? Lol, you dont have to answer that. So anyway, I got a lot of phone calls and text messages from my friends and family, which was nice. The technological age has made it very easy to remember birthdays, but I dont mind! So, now the weekend is over, and I have lots of studying to do. I'm a little apprehensive for a big cardiac test this week, but I should be fine. However, it doesnt help when our instructor doesnt know how to run a scantron, or add. She's changed our grades 3 times, and we still havent seen our tests. Frustrating! I seriously doubt if anyone fails this quarter, because they wont REALLY know what their grade is! I hope it doesnt effect me, because I have an A, and I plan on keeping it that way! Oh, and I've lost 5 lbs, yay!

Feeling sorry for myself

I think that God knows just how I'm feeling this week, because He's making it rain.....a lot. Wednesday was my anniversary, which I spent alone, because Kevin's in Germany-not his fault. Although out of the 3 years we've been married, we've spent one anniversary together. And it just so happens my birthday falls right after, so he'll be gone for that too. And then Mother's day is coming up, and I've NEVER spent a mother's day with him! I dont blame him, I blame my rotten luck (and the military). So I'll be moping by myself, attempting to find something to do. I had plans with my friends for my birthday, but that fell through, so I was going to take Natalie to the zoo, but as I said earlier it's going to rain...all....week! I'm just feeling sorry for myself, and wishing my best friend lived nearby :(
