Okay, so I finally went grocery shopping today, if anyone knows me, they know that I hate grocery shopping. My cart is always overflowing and food falls out of my cart all the time while I walk thru the store. I feel like I have to shop for an army most of the time, the downside is that my kids aren't teenagers yet and from what I hear it only gets worse. Do you ever feel like when you go grocery shopping you can have a full cart and then half full of a second cart and about $400 later you feel like you didn't buy much of anything. Plus, when I get home and start unloading my van of the food, the vultures come out of nowhere and start eating everything they see, like they haven't eaten in days, weeks, months or their whole lives!!!
Anywhos, as I was shopping at my local supermarket, I am enjoying the Musac that they provide overhead for your shopping enjoyment. I enjoy all the renditions of the Titanic theme song that is played and sometimes songs from the Bangles, but what really got me beboppin was when Brittany Spears song "Oops I did it again" was being played! Then the sad thing is that I realized I was singing along with the music!!
Well at least I was entertained while I had to do my grocery shopping!
Thanks Musac people for entertaining us while we pick out whether we want white or wheat bread of if we should buy ground round or ground chuck!

Godly Food
Tonight we went over to the local mall so that Katy, my youngest daughter, could use her Build-a-Bear gift card that she didn't get to use on her birthday since she got that nasty Pig flu.
Anyways, that was fun to watch her pick out the bear and the clothes and to dress it and then give it a name and a birthday.
Then after that enjoyable process we went right across the way to one of my least favorite stores called Claire's. Now this is a store that is about the size of a shoe box with as about as much merchandise in it as Walmart!
Katy has been wanting her ears pierced and we told her she could get them pierced for her birthday, so that's why we went to the shoe box store so that she could have it done. Well, her excitement on her face soon turned to a look of horror once she was in the chair. I could see the tears welling up in her droopy brown eyes and how she kept fighting back the tears. She was being such a brave little girl. I tried to tell her that it would be okay if she didn't want to get it done, but she said no, she wanted to do it. Thankfully they pierced her ears at the same time, but it didn't matter, the tears flowed down her cheeks and she let out a good cry. Her big sister Meghan held her hand to comfort her and hugged her when it was all done and
then she was happy and the smile came back to her face.
So after that whole enjoyable time we spent at the mall, the kids kept complaining that they were hungry so we decided to leave the mall and venture out to see what restaurant would be the best choice for our family. We were in an area that had a bigger choice of eating facilities than we have around our house, so we wanted to eat somewhere different than just McDonalds and in the words of Matthew, "McDonalds makes me puke!" So we thought that wouldn't be the best place to take that kid.
We decided to eat at Chick-fil-A for dinner. As we are driving into the parking lot, Matthew sees that we are pulling into Chick-fil-A and says "I love this place, they are a Godly restaurant, with Godly food and Godly drinks, and Godly fries and Godly music, and they have Godly toys in their kid's meals, it is just so Godly."
If you know anything about Chick-fil-a, they are a Christian owned business and they play Christian music in their restaurant, and I guess to Matthew that makes them a Godly restaurant.

So I guess you can say that we ate Holy chicken and waffle fries for dinner!

Our Heroes
Today marks a day of remembrance, today we are paying tribute and honor to our Veterans. I am so thankful to the men and women that sacrifice their lives everyday for me to have freedom. I can't imagine wives being away from their husbands or vice versa or mother's being away from their sons or daughters.
I have to pay tribute today to a very special person. He believes that the Lord has called him to serve our country as a Marine. He left his family, his fiance and his church family in July to be trained as a Marine. I admire him for his courage and strength to do such an honorable act. He is so much younger than me, I almost think of him as my own son, but I look up to him and I am humbled.
Thank you, Mathew Trivett, you truly are a hero!

Working the sequel....
I am sure you are all wondering why I have titled my post as "working" since the last post was titled the same. Well, I am at work yet again blogging. So that's why it's titled "working the sequel".
I am sitting with a patient again tonight who is very confussed. She is a cute little old lady but is very confussed and doesn't seem to like me, but it's okay cause the feelings are a bit mutual. Thankfully she is sleeping, so that gives me some time to do what is really important here and that is to write a post for my blog.
Today was my first day back to work since Friday. I had the weekend off and spent it out of town with my hubs and it was the most enjoyable time that I have had with him in a very long time. It made me realize how much I am in love with him and how much richer my life is with him by my side.
So then Monday, I was suppose to be back to work but for some odd reason my body felt the need to empty itself of all of it's contents thru my mouth! Yes, I declared myself sick. I had become a victim of some kind of sickness. This was just uncalled for, I am invisible, I am a mother, a medical worker, I am not suppose to get sick! Well, I guess I was wrong for the first time in my life, I know what you are thinking, Kathy was actually wrong about something.
So I spent my Monday in bed and in the bathroom and on the couch. Thankfully that was short lived and I was able to gain control of my body fluids! What a relief!!
That brings me to today, I was able to get out of bed and get a shower this morning and then had to meet a friend to make a Pampered Chef delivery and then meet my mother-in-law to get fitted for a holiday scrub top she is making for me. So I go over to her place of employment and she says, "have you had lunch" and I reply "no, have you" and she says "no, but shouldn't we go get some", so we went up to the Chinese buffet, where they have all those wonderful foods, like crab rangoon and egg rolls and chop suey and sauteed mushrooms and those fun little donuts and almond cookies, oh can't you just taste it now!! I stuffed my face like I hadn't eaten in a month. Well, that probably wasn't the greatest idea for me since all I had eaten the day before was some scrambled eggs and a few pieces of toast. Needless to say, the drive back to Elkhart from Mishawaka was a pretty intense drive with two stops at gas stations to relieve the pain that was welling up within my guts!! Thankfully I made it to work in time with just a few minutes to spare!
Now I am sitting with a patient, which I think I had already told you about in the begin of this exciting story, who is sleeping.
I am really hoping that I will get a dinner break really soon since it's already after 8pm!

Working
I am currently at work, but I have been sitting with a patient the whole evening that has been sleeping and I have a computer that I have limited access to the internet. So I am sitting here looking up websites and hoping that they aren't blocked and I was amazed when I pulled up my blog! It has been over a year since I posted an entry!
So it's official, I am finally blogging something. Not that I have anything to blog about, but at least I am blogging. I am really thinking hard but nothing is coming to mind that would excite any of you or me for that matter. Ha!
I have read up on all the lastest happenings with Brad and Angelina, and who is pregnant with whos baby and how I need to work out at the gym 8 days a week if I want to have a body like Courtney Cox and how Jennifer Aniston should go back to dating Jon somebody. Or whether the break up was Jon or Kate's fault and how the kids are happy still and they will always be happy even if Kate has to make them be happy while their parents live in sin and don't repent of their selfish ways. Yes, yes, I know this is all important stuff to know and I know you are all jealous because I am up to date on the lastest happenings of Hollywood.
Yup, that's what happens when you get stuck in a hospital room for 8 hours and the only reading material you have at your disposal is People magazines and US. That's what I get paid the bigs bucks to do, sit and read skanky magazines while a patient sleeps.
Thankfully my hubs came to the rescue and brought me some good biblical reading material and I was able to clear my mind of all that rubbish and hulabaloo.
I am thankful that I was able to share this very uneventful yet exciting night with you!
