Yipes!

I have been a tad busy for the past 5 months... I guess nursing school will do that to you. I miss having a fun blog and getting to share what goes on around here. I am actually thinking of starting a new blog of what goes on in nursing school - that is, if I get in to the accelerated program of course. I don't get to find out until around April 1st which kind of stinks to make people wait that long.

This week I have been on spring break which I kicked off with my friend's 80's themed birthday party! And YES, I wore black "Chucks" to the party! I graduated from high school in the 80's in Red High Top Chuck Taylor tennis shoes. Because I was always the absolute coolest and Because I was always totally fashion forward... (ok, everyone who knows me, when you stop laughing you can keep reading!) Then, because the time "sprang forward" I missed church on Sunday which turned out great because the family went to the Y and had fun AND exercise. Of course we were then compelled to go to Denny's so that we wouldn't actually SEE any befifit from the workout. I could feel my arteries reclogging from the gravy on the country FRIED steak! Very great weekend except for my dad driving himself to the hospital on Sunday. Then Monday rolled around and I was able to stay home the first two days of the week with a sick kid (cause that's how my life rolls! I am just along for the ride most of the time), pick up my nephew and neice from school to play, have lunch with my youngest, take my oldest to have her stinky cast removed from her broken hand, visit my dad and good friend in the hospital,...should I keep going??? Thank God this all happened this week, I can't imagine trying to juggle this with my classes too. Ha!

This is my neice Harp and this is the look she gives you when she doesn't get what she wants.

It still works on me most of the time. I am kind of the "sucker" aunt. She loves to play Tea Party with the silver tea set in the living room and I am happy to oblige. The simplest things...

Besides, how could you say No to this face and then live with yourself????

I am vowing to get some studying done tomorrow though. I better if I want to keep good grades!! Glad I had this breather though and for the record, everyone is recovering nicely. Thank God!
