Ok, I blog when I'm at work. I'm really starting to enjoy this being able to get my feelings out and somewhere other than in my head polluting my emotions.
What to write about today?......nothing big has happened other than i got called off at 4am this morning and was able to go home early. Thats nice when it happens because then i can see family a little bit longer. I was supposed to be on call tonight but got called in at like 6:30. No biggie, its extra money when i get called in. the patients are good tonight, nothing out of the ordinary. no needy people.....good leave me alone!;)
The kids are doing great! theyre both just getting so big! Gage is innunciating everything perfectly now. its so cute how kids reason. gage is now liking to have conversations rather than being wrapped up in tv all the time. what a handsome boy too! I'll get some pics up soon. MacKelty is such a little love bug. She's my cuddly kid. It warms my just to be near them. Both of them have the most gorgeous faces anyone has ever seen! Theyre beautiful kids! no really, they are so cute!
This may sound weird but they are soooooo much cuter when they have their hair done. is that weird? Gage look so good lookin when his hair is all gelled up and spikey. And keltys hair is long enough to have pigtails and little barrets in it! uhhhh I cant get enough of them!.....my little toe heads!
Speaking of another toe head.......jay. he's the sexiest man on earth! it was an incredibly good day with the family today. All we did was go to look at another house and had lunch at my favorite restaurant, el habanero, in magna. Then we came home and watched tv for a bit but decided we should go to sams club and get some food. My husband is the best man I have ever seen! Hes active in the church, and what a rock! But i can tell, he loves me with everything he has. I love him more than life itself too. What other man would sacrifice his time and energy to work 2 jobs and go to school?.....mine does. And what a good one.

the weirdest phone call ever!!!
ok, I'm still at work but i just got a phone call from a 17 year old boy who had some interesting questions. He beat around the bush(no pun intended) for like 5 minutes asking me about puberty. Then he finally let it out, he wanted to know if his penis was abnormally small. He gave me the dimensions: he said, fully erect he was 3 inches long and about the size of a nickle around. Holy cheese batman! Can we say teeny weeny!
Thats weird! I was trying to figure out if he was pranking me. Then I tried to give him the best advice that I could. I told him to go to planned parenthood or a free clinic. Get some help man! You deffinately have a condition! If you dont, I feel bad for you.
But the weird thing is, he was starting to ask weird things like "do YOU think its small?" and "have you ever seen one like this or heard of anything like this(penis)?" AND THEN he was aking about sexual performance and how his girlfriends said they thought it was weird too.
UHHHHHHH I am so paranoid! I'm not supposed to give medical advice over the phone, no one is that works in a hospital. But I was trying to help by listening to his rambling or should I say, his freaking out about his teeny weeny. I talked to him like he was a little brother or something like that. And I offered my personal opinion and I did. Maybe that was where I went wrong? But here is where I am so paranoid. I didnt get this young mans phone number but I noticed that the zip code was 516 and he did say that he was from Florida. I know he was on a cell phone because it kept cutting out. I must be really tired! Did the hospital record that convo? And are they going to fire me over a frank discussion about a penis with a 17 year old boy? Maybe.
Sooooo weird!

mindless meandering/who are real friends?
i am at work. let me tell you a little about my job. i know i seem to talk about this stuff quite often but its one of the main things in my life, so bear with me.
My official title WAS obstetrics-surgical technologist, then is WAS a financial counselor/master scheduler-EMT for the emergency room, NOW i am a CNA/scrub tech/er tech/tele tech/security guard( why the heck is it my responsibility to watch if the crazy folks get out?)/clerk/do everything person. There you have it, that is what i do at work.
I was dreading coming up to the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor is the med/surg floor of this hospital. Which means you will be swimming in poop and blood. Now keep in mind i came from the blessed bliss of babies being born to the awesome adrenaline of the ER........to....poop. Yup, poop.
Does anyone know what the substance Golytely(go-lightly) is? Let me tell you what this evil horrid mess of a substance is. Its a colonoscopy prep that makes you literally poop your brains out! Once you drink this evil juice you will then live life on the toilet until it all runs through your system.
Anyone ever do a colon cleanse? Yeah, its a million times worse!!! It will take everything in the GI tract and extract it through the anus into the toilet or sometimes in my experience, the bed, the wall, the tub and anywhere else you can think of. Its true people I have found poop on the ceiling and in the tub before.......GROSSS!!!
Why, for heavens sakes why?! Why cant these morons of people sit on the freaking toilet! Now...when you are given the stuff most nurses will WARN the patient that it might become explosive and to be very close to the bathroom or on the pot for the durration of poop expelling process. Why cant these numbskulls understand that? Because.....they want to watch people like me clean their shit? i dont get it. do people actually want their hynies wiped by disdainful,rage filled healthcare personell? Whats the fun in that?...not fun for me. Is it fun for the people being wiped?......dont answer that question.
What else is interesting in my line of work? Or rather, what else can I complain about? Oh yes, why do people become babies when they come into an inpatient setting in the hospital? I have seen grown men act like complete idiots when they have to have an IV placed. Its not that big of a deal!!! If you want to see a big deal ask for a 10 gage needle. Or better than that, ask for something thats actually a big deal like, get a bonesaw to amputate a limb. I guarantee a nurse can make it so much more painful in a fraction of a second.
Ive seen some really crazy stuff like gangrenous toes and various body parts, majorly infected stumps from amputation, explosive diarrhea, ive seen people vomit curdled blood and expell it from my favorite orrifice.....the rear end. Trust me, all the afformentioned infections and illnesses have a distinct pungeant odor that you do not want to have in your nose. Have you ever had anything actually sting your sinus cavity because it smelled so bad?
Ive seen and done some scary things. I had a lady squat right in front of me in the er lobby and pop out a baby in her pants. Ive seen people die. Ive done compressions on a person until i floated their stirnum and broke most of their ribs. i watched a nurse reach her hand into a woman up to her elbow to save a babys life. Crazy things happen all the time around here. I'll post some of the stories of the life and times at pioneer valley hospital later tonight if i get time.
happy reading!

work is work is work!
Hello to ya'll!!
Work is work. Hmmm, hard concept to grasp. No matter what I do I dont like it. The thought of being a stay at home mom is becoming ever increasingly tantalizing to me. No, no, no, its not that I cant take the work load, if anyone knows how I am I would get borred and go postal. Its just the fact that I would like to be with my family for once. I would like to see my husband more than a handful of days every month. I would like to be able to sleep a normal schedule and not feel exhausted all the time from lack of sleep. I would like to be able to take the time needed to get the housework done that desperately needs doing. And most of all I would like to be awake to see my kids and play with them. My poor children sit in the living room with me while I continuously nod away every morning until 10 or 11. The grave yards are reaking havoc on my body! Thank heaven for Nickelodeon and Noggin!!!
Ya know, kids are kids just once. I want to be conscious through their chilhood. I have tried to work the budget so many ways so I could stay home with my family but its just not possible right now. We just put an offer in to buy a house, so that will be even more money that isnt letting me stay home.
I dont think that its all work thats keeping me away from my family. I work full time, a funky schedule though, I work from 6pm to 6am/6 days in a row then 8 days off. It takes me all 8 days to recooperate. Then its right back to work. But thrown in the middle of all that is school. I cant get anything done anymore. Am I going crazy? I think the time of year is a bad time for me.......super stressed about anything and everything.
The point is that I just want to be able to sleep at night and be awake durring the day. But more than that, I want to be with my family. Why dont I feel like I'm ever with them?..........

What!!! My pants arent a size 10?!!!
Hello to some that may read this!!
I was looking through a ladies blog about weight loss and I am kind of inspired. She did have a good idea though, to make a record of everything she did and ate while "preparing" for a diet. I think I am going to do the same thing.
Now keep in mind, I am not good at posting every day, not even once a week some times. But I am willing to stick to something and be determined about this weight loss thing. Its time Aerial! Get your butt going!!!
Ya know, I NEED to lose weight! Its getting to the point of being uncomfortable! Seriously uncomfortable!........I fear its effecting my health. Have you ever had your butt touch the small of your back? Yeah, its that disgusting guys! I dont even want to move around anymore I'm that uncomfortable. 2 words for the community out there. BUTT SHELF.
Here is how I know I am getting toooooo big!......It sucks to put my shoes on! What the heck, put your shoes on?....my belly got in the way of me tying my shoes! EWEEEE! If you know me, nothing gets in the way of my dirty shoe habit.
My boobs are choking me! Yes, my boobs in fact have gotten that big. Have you ever layed down and have to move your double chin out of the way of your giant bossom?.....I have. sucks.
No more denial about the subject for me. I am a size 22 and a hefty 200+ pound woman. I guess its time folks. Its time.
But I do need to write down and journal about my daily habits, which I have been highly analyzing for months now and just not done that much about it.
A few thoughts though. Can a person be addicted to fast food? I feel that I have a chemical dependancy on saturated fat. I get those cravings, where you dont think about anything else until you get it type cravings. Mine are usually about hamburgers. Delicious hamburgers. Delicious fattening, glistening in the sun hamburgers, like they fell down from heaven like mannah.
No way, hamburgers are the devil! Disguised in their filthy goodness.....FAT!!!
EEEVIIIIILLLLL(mermaid man)! Hamburger is thine name!
