The word "test" makes me gag!

Well, I am sure that I have let all of you blog readers down because it has been a whole ten days since I last posted. Let me just tell ya that it has been a busy ten days.
As most of you know who read this blog or know me in person, I have three part time jobs, not to mention the domestic engineer job that I have that keeps me busy 24 hours a day 7 days a week. In the midst of my careers I have been taking a Basic Dysrhythmia class. This is a class that is required for the "Dysrhythmia challenged". So in other words, this is for the people that have no idea what they are doing when it comes to reading a person's heart rhythm. Let me see a show of hands of those that know how to do that....................................yeah that's what I thought, not too many of ya, huh. This class was 2 weeks of pure torcher for me. First I am not any good at sitting in a classroom setting listening to someone lecture for 3 hours and then I had to do homework, which I loathe!!! Then it happened, the end of the class was upon me and that nasty word "test" was used. I personally think that word should be cut right out of the dictionary! My heart skips a few beats and my stomach kind of does this cramping thing when the word "test" is thrown into the conversation. So in order to pass this class you had to take a, yep you got it, a test!! Apparently the instructor didn't understand what kind of physical challenges I end up going thru when I have to take a test....I will give you one clue as to what happens when I am anxious, let me just say this, I need a bathroom near by. That is all I will say about that, I am sure you can put the pieces together and come up with your own conclusion. So the day came, December 17th, I had to go to class and take the final the test. Ohhhh, just saying that word makes me shiver.
The instructor hands out the tests and I begin to answer questions, but for some reason I couldn't remember the answers to the questions, I had a big huge brain fart!!! I was to name the parts of the heart and couldn't think of what they were, then I had to define each complex of the heart rhythms and I was drawing blank on those too. Then I come to part of the test where I had to interpret the heart rhythms....I got about half way thru and was ready to just get up and turn the test in, because I new I had blown it. It was over, there was no way on earth that I was capable of saving any lives.
Welllllllll, I did finally make it thru the end of the test......did anyone want to know the end result........................................................................................................................
are you all sitting on the edge of your chairs? Am I holding you all in suspense? Okay, okay I will tell ya, yep I passed, but only by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin. I am actually capable of saving lives.
So there you have it. That is my excuse for not blogging. I will try to keep you posted on whether or not I kill anyone while I am working. As long as they don't die on my shift, I'm good!

Blog Readers

I am so excited to see all the people that are reading my blog!! I have a tracker on my blog so that I can see what areas the readers are from. I found that someone from Singapore is reading my blog, and you know who you are. I just don't have too many comments left on my posts so I am not sure who all the people are that are reading my blog.



So I am giving my readers a challenge, you know me, I am always up for a challenge, whether it's doing as many push-ups that I can in a minute or if I could actually survive a week without chocolate. The challenge is that if you read my blog try to leave a comment. Yes, I know it is hard for some of you, having to actually use the muscles in your fingers that God gave you and having to generate activity in your brain to think of something to say. I would just say that if you have something negative to say than lets just keep that to yourself.



So now it's your turn blog readers, you can either comment about this post or previous ones.

Oh this is gonna be fun!!! Can I get a "whoot-whoot", put your hands in the air and wave like ya just don't care!

A New Love!

Well, I am so overjoyed with all the hits that I have recieved on my blog that I decided that I better blog today so that all of my readers don't get bored and never want to come back to visit. Now that my blog has become popular, this is a new love for me! I will try my best to keep you up to date on the latest happenings in my life. My life is so crazy right now, so I don't know how often I will post, but I won't let ya down!!

I really don't have much to say tonight. My day was extremely uneventful. I got up this morning and pushed my kids, I mean lovingly guided them to the school bus. Then I made myself an egg and a piece of toast, whole grain of course, and then I remembered that I had Peppermint Mocha creamer, so I decided to make some coffee and it was yummy. Then I sat down to watch my 2 favorite people, Regis and Kelly, yes they are like my other cup of coffee in the morning. After I got my fill of them, I decided to start some laundry and take a shower, so I did that, then I started cleaning out my closet. Well, that turned out to be a bigger project than expected....needless to say that job didn't get done, so you know what I will be doing tomorrow. Then I went to work at 3 and as always that was real exciting. I was secretary tonight and something always has to happen when I am working, I believe I am cursed. We had to call a Code Blue on a patient, for those of you who do not know what that is, basically the patient is turning blue and they are not breathing, hence the name Code Blue. So it was crazy for a while. Finally things calmed down and we got back to normal, if there is such a thing as normal. Then I took my dinner break at 6:30 and they had turkey and bacon club wraps in the cafeteria so I decided that sounded better than my Lean Cuisine, so I had one of those instead, and it came with chips and a pickle!!! It was quite a treat! Then I got off work at 11:30 tonight and here I am now, blogging.
I have a hard time going to bed right away after work, so I take some time to unwind, but the bad part is that I have a class at 8am tomorrow and it is almost 1am now. I will be getting up in less than 5 hours to get ready, that's depressing. You know, this isn't natural beauty that I have, thanks to Mary Kay and my hair stylist Gina, I am able to have that natural beauty look. If it wasn't for them I would just have to wear a bag over my head! It takes precious time to look as beautiful as me...can anyone say "humble"....apparently not me. Remember this is my blog and that allows me to talk about myself how ever I wish....so if I want to say that I am butt ugly than I can, but I better not hear anyone else say it!!

Well I think I have gabbered on enough for now. I think if I don't stop now, I will start sing songs, like So Long, Fair Well, or Bubye-baby Bubye and then I will start dancing.
Yeah it's official, I am tired, cause now I am acting a bit giddy.

So until next time my blog peeps..........

Officially White Trailor Trash

Well, I have come to the conclusion that my family is officially "white trailor trash". For those of you who have been to my house, know that I live in a neighborhood that is all manufactured houses....(that's a fancy word for trailor with basement)...now don't get me wrong, I love my house and I am very thankful for it! There are some things in it that do need to be replaced, like the carpet, the fake wood around the door ways, the appliances, the hole in the bathroom wall, the faucets in the tubs, and the screen door that has holes in it and are covered with scotch tape so the bugs don't come in. So yes there are a few minor repairs that need to be done here and there, but who's counting...could I see a raise of hands?.....

I have trouble with my boys keeping their room pick up and tiddy, this is an everyday battle for me. Let me just give you an example of how messy their room was the other night.....my oldest son, Daniel, was trying to walk out of his room and was having trouble making it to the doorway, because of the school bag and coat and boots and toys and clothes and shoes that he had piled up at the end of his bed. So in the process of him trying to climb over the mountain of, well how can I put this nicely, umm, the pile of crap he had at the end of his bed, he triped over it and ran his knee into the wall and put a hole in the wall in the process.

Then there is my youngest son who doesn't really care too much about anything. You could give this kid a box and he wouldn't care if he had to live in it. He is also underpants challenged, and what I mean by that, is he likes to fly commando....need I say more?....

Then I have Meghan and Katelyn, I believe they got the Black side of the geans, when I say Black that is my maiden name. They are the neat and tiddy kids. They have to wear just the right outfit and their hair has to be just so. Yep, the girls are mine and the boys belong to my hubbs.

So now I am getting to the point of the title of my post. I wanted to do a Christmas card with the kids picture on it this year, but in my busy schedule I happened to neglet the whole Christmas card thing. My other problem is that I do not own a camera. When I want to take pictures I either have to get a disposable camera or I have to borrow my mom's. Let me just tell ya, when I borrow my mom's she tells me to be very carefull with it and that I better give it back when I am done. Like I am 10 years old and am irresponsible. I think she forgets that I am no longer in pampers anymore and I don't suck my thumb anymore or at least I didn't last night....

I thought about sending out a Christmas card that the kids colored pictures of themselves on, but didn't do that either.

Then my hubbs was in a car accident last week, it's okay, I can just hear ya'll gasping when I said that, all he did was slide into someone's bumper and it cracked our bumper. So now he is driving a crashed car. No big deal, he is still alive....

Then it happened, the absolute "trailor trash" of all, I came home from work the other night to find Christmas lights on the pine tree in the front yard and on the bush in front of the house. Yes, a whole 2 strands of lights around the middle of our 10ft pine tree, and the top half of the bush with lights on it, not all the bush, just the top half. I would have taken a picture of it, but then again I have no camera, remember. It kind of makes me think about the family in Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, no not the Griswald's, but the cousin who comes to visit with his camper and they have the dog named Snots, yep that family.


So there you have it, we are pure "white trailor trash" and you know what, I wouldn't change any of it. Well, maybe the carpet and the fact that I have no camera. I am thankful for my redneck hillbilly family and for my pretend house.
Well, I was gonna put a picture of my house on here, but I don't even have a picture of that.

It's been a while...

Wow!!! I can't believe it has been since August since I last post. So that probably means that I have lost all 2 of my readers and me posting something now will be a waste of time. Oh, well I am posting anyways.

I guess I could update you on my life and what has been going. I mean since this is my blog and everything, I think I have the right to talk about myself since it is about ME!

The last time I posted I was in the process of saying goodbye to one of my dearest and closest buddies. That was pretty tough!! I felt numb for about a month after she had left, and I wrote her everyday and waited and waited for her to write back. I felt like someone had cut off my right arm, and that a piece of me was missing. I felt so alone and empty, I think that is the best way that I could describe how I was feeling. I cried almost everyday and hoped that she would just come back. Well, then I finally got my first letter from her after about a month of her being gone and I read it over and over. I was so overjoyed!!! Then I got a letter about another month later and this one was different. She was different, and I was so excited to hear all that she had to say and find out that accepted Jesus Christ as her Savior!!! It was the best news I could have heard from her!! She was healthy and happy! Then she got to come to visit at Thanksgiving and that was a blessing in itself.

Then on October 3, my hubbs lost his job. That totally turned our world upside down. The good news, was that I had been offered another position at work as a cardiac tech. This couldn't have come at a better time! So I started training full time as Cardiac tech and he went out job hunting. After a long 6 weeks, he was finally offered a job!!! He has been there for about 3 weeks now and it seems to be going well.

As for my job, it's been a rough road. I have had to adjust to a new shift and new responsibilities. I enjoy it, but it is very challenging and at times I get so discouraged.

Also, I joined a fitness bootcamp back in August and have started to develop some muscles that I didn't know I had. It's kind of fun to think you could arm wrestle someone and may actually beat them! Hahahaha

So that is my life from the last 3 1/2 months in a nut shell...let me emphasize the NUT part of my life.
