Living with a Nurse

After 4 semesters of school, and another month of intense studying - Melissa passed her Nursing Exam. She is now a registered nurse! Congrats!
It's only logical that a RN lives with me full-time. I wouldn't say that I'm a clumbsy person - but the scabs & scars on me would probably tell a different story, which Melissa would definitely agree with. The other day she said "Whenever I'm around you I feel like I'm about to get hit in the face." And then followed it up with "Maybe you shouldn't be working from home anymore."

I've been working from home doing sales since the new year. It's challenging! Well the job isn't challenging itself - any monkey could do it.
But just working from home & constantly being distracted. Melissa doesn't distract me, I find things to distract the both of us!
Exhibit A: I have a small slinky on my desk. I like to hold an end in each hand and see how close I can get to hitting things - such as my face. I've gotten good enough that I can control if I want to lightly tap an object or just come within a few centimeters. I suppose it's doing things like that which make it beneficial to live with a Nurse.

My most recent injury happened after spending 2 hours working on our SUV for one of my classes. You would think that I would've been hurt at some point while the car has been lifted 8 feet off the ground and I'm changing hot oil or messing with the suspension. Nope. It was at the end when I was WALKING to my car...I went down on the ice ripping open my jeans and scraping up my hand.
So Melissa had to patch me up after I got home. We'll see how long I last until the next time I need a nurse.

It's a Good Life

Happy Father's Day to Justin!  I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for.  Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it?  Yes, I am lucky.  Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn.  Mmmmm.  I love the new things Channing learns everyday.  The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try.   Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic.  It was fun.  But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day.  Oh well.  At least half the day was awesome!  Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere.  And sitting in it....

Merry Christmas

It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho.  On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present.  We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies.  And we wrote letter's to Santa.  We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ.  For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger.  Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger.  Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in.  It was a great visual for them.  (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's.   Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa.   These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

I'm really getting tired of school.  I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school.  Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks.  It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework.  I guess it's my way of procrastinating.  Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing.  Above is zucchini.  Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche.  Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind.  There's always some assignment I should be working on.  (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.)  School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN.  I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
