The ugly side

So I went to my pre-op appointment. I was happy to be there and nervous at the same time. I work in the medical field so I am use to the gore of surgery. But when they start talking, and telling YOU what to expect it's kind of scary and an ugly feeling all at the same time.

I will have a pain pump, I will have drains. I will have pain med's and nausea med's and bandaged like a mummy. I will have to cover my bed as not to ooze on it. Yeah sounds great huh.

But in the end a flat tummy, and some new boobies. Can't wait.

Can't wait to watch.

Some of my favorite shows are coming up this summer. Perfect timing. A little "Hug it out Bitch" and True Blood. My Vampire fix till the new Twilight movie comes out.

Am I the witch?

Some days I think my kids think I am the wicked witch. I know on some days when the kids are driving me up the wall. I may resemble her look and that thing she is doing with her hands.

I try to be a good mom but not everyday do I succeed. I get annoyed by the "mama mama mama" like a hundred times in a minute. I feel like a waiter with the "juice puleese" every 10 minutes. Or the latest " more or mas" that coming from the little one.

I do love being a mom though. When they are sleeping peacefully in their beds. Just kidding. I do love all parts of being a mom just not the vomit ones so much.

So even when I feel like the wicked witch. I do it with love and not evil.

Night at the Bar

Girls from the ER.
NO NO No I am not drunk just being bad.

Me and my bestie Angie. :)

Hiking

Some pictures of our hiking trip. Yes we managed with all the kids. They had tons of fun. No one fell down the mountains, and we all survived.

We went to Green Valley Falls kind of close to Julian, California. Who knew they had small pools, and water falls.

Family Fun

This weekend was family fun weekend. We set out early in the morning. Us and 3 other families. It was fun we went on a train ride through Campo of all places. The kids loved it. We had a picnic. We went on a hike. The kids had so much fun.

Let's talk boobies.

Yeah I did it I have a date for hoorah new boobies. Yeah I am throwing my business out there. Oh well. I plan on getting a new set of ta-tas this June. And just for funsies a flat super duper done a million sit up's but haven't tummy tuck.

Look I work out I do sit up's. But my battle scars I mean stretch marks are not leaving this body. And for the boobies, 3 pregnancies breastfeeding and mother nature playing a evil trick on my body. I deserve new boobies.

So it's set unless something happens in the mean time. I have my date set for June 12th. WOOHOO!

Goal- To wear a bathing suit again with confidence. :)

Gianna Ballet Pics

Here is some quick pics I took. I thought she looked beautiful. The recital is later in June. I think she will do great.

Kill them with kindness

Are you a kill them with kindness kind of person? I must say I love how when people are trying to get a rise out of you, and fluster you. That you keep your cool say all the "right words" and piss off the other people.

I am talking in reference to one of the Dr's. One who asked me this weekend if I speak English and if I understood his instructions? Yeah in my head I am thinking yeah dip shit I do understand English. But what came out was the most PC nice words I could say. It pissed him off. I LOVED it. To which he promptly hung up on me only after saying Thank you.

I must say it takes a lot for me to blow up on you. At work I am trying to be the most professional nurse. Even at times when families and Dr's are pissing me off to no end. I keep my cool, and move along.

So this weekend was an exercise in keeping my cool. For which I did wonderfully.

On to other things. Things I must suggest make some decision about your health like whether or not you want "all" to be done. In my house if I am dead dead let me go. Don't put me on life support. Same goes for the hubby.

Things I ponder?

So when I talk about blogging to other people do they think I am crazy for blogging?

I talk about people like I know them just from reading their blogs.

I may have lost my mother of the year award when I whispered under my breath, little f-ers when I found my wedding ring and watch in a dump truck upstairs. I had been looking all day for it.

I have another appointment tomorrow with the plastic. The big finale before I decide which Dr.

I really want to see the musical Wicked. I read the book awhile back and it's coming to SD in August.

Why am I obsessed with a good deal. I am those freaky lady's who has coupons for almost everything.

Why are my kids pros at whining? I am tired of it.

Thoughts on 30.

I know it's just a number but I turned 30 on the 6th. I was kind of sad, like my twenties are ending. But whatever. I have been married all of my 20's with children. So it's not like I was partying my 20's away.

Do I feel different at 30 no not really. I actually feel better. I am more sure of myself, and what I want. I have always been opinionated but more so now. I am stubborn I know. I am more self confident. I can walk in to a room full of people, and not feel so timid. There is good things about turning 30 I guess.

My hubby says I am finally coming in to my own. I say he's right but I finally know what I want and need to do.

So I am sure this year will be a great year. I am happy got a good job, a great husband, great kids, and a roof over our heads. I am thankful.

Early Birthday Gifts!

My best girl Angie bought me this dress as an early b-day present. Cute yeah? She got it at American Eagle.

The Good and the Bad of the ICU.

It was a very trying week for me at work. It made me question myself, and why I chose nursing in the first place. Don't get me wrong I love being a nurse but some days are pure hell on earth. I think God is testing me to see if I will crack.

I did crack a little. After coming out of one of my patients room, I must have looked like hell because the charge nurse asked me if I needed a hug. I did and yes I did accept said hug.

I wanted to cry I think a stress filled day mixed with hormones thanks Aunt Flo. I was a mess. I seriously said I don't want to come back tomorrow.

But I did come back. Yes you only get 2 patients in the ICU. But those patients are work. I literally spent hours trying to save a man's life, the next day same thing again but different patient.

I still wonder if the ICU will be my niche. I sure hope it is. I have so much more to learn. The ladies there are amazing though. They will back you up, and save your ass. They fight like family, but don't mess with anyone or else you will get the wrath of them all. Some of the nurses there have been there over 20 years. I can only hope I can get it together like them.

It is amazing though to visit with the families. You do what you can, and yet you try to keep your distance. But you don't want to seem uncaring. Those are people's mothers and fathers brothers and sisters you are taking care of. And yes I do care.

Buying my own

In honor of my birthday, I went shoe shopping a la the internet. I bought these for work.

Ya I know the clogs are funky, but of well they actually look really cute with scrubs, and being the funky one I am I bought some. Happy Birthday to me. Tomorrow.

I know I am old when.

I must be old. I don't like this commercial. I also don't like this song from Brittany Spears. I must be a prude but I don't want my daughter singing this song.




ok off to yelling at kids get off my grass.

Update on Me.

Some weird things of me lately.

I dream lately of taking pictures. In my dreams, I am taking these really cool pictures, and the lighting is always right and looks amazing. Too bad it's not like that in real life.

I am obsessed with getting a certification. I need to get either my certified emergency nurse or the critical care nurse certification. Now I don't get a raise if I get it but it's the beauty of knowing I passed the test.

I am in love with my new mascara see post below.

I turn 30 next week. I don't want a party I don't want to celebrate.

I have been working so much I have been neglecting my blog.

Gianna got 2 red cards in the last month. I am sad. She usually is a good girl, and she is but it's not like her to get in trouble at school. And detention to boot oh no. So she was grounded from TV all weekend long.

oh and I can't wait for the boxing match this weekend. Hatton vs Paciao.

Beauty Products I love

I am in love with lotion. I slather this on my children and at work after washing my hands a gazillion times a day this works and it smells yummy. Plus it's cheap like less than 4.00 at whatever store carries baby stuff.
OK I was a little worried about this one. Come on really a mascara that will lengthen my lashes and not make them fall down yeah right. Well it works. I love this stuff. I have the long lashes like fake ones but no no no these are my lashes. When you wash it off you get this little tube thingys in your hand or wash clothes, but those are the tubes washing off. No smudging or flaking for me either.


Ssssh don't tell anyone my most favorite after the shower lotion has a hemp leaf on it. I use this stuff everyday and through out the day. I LOVE it. It's kind of pricey but it smells great and leaves me silky smooth. LOL I buy mine at trade secrets.

Yes I know today's post is more of an infomercial, but thought I would share.

BBQ Day

I took these pics with my Sony. I always have my sony in my bag. Doesn't take as good as photos as my d50 but who cares. Anyways the hospital every year puts on a BBQ for their employees. It was fun they had jumpers for the kids, free food, face painting, fun games, bingo, or loteria as it's called here, and free snow cones. Yummy.

The kids ran around and had a fun time. The hubby was there too but since he is higher on the food chain at work not he had to serve the food.

Hubby's new obsession.

MY husband is a weirdo at times. God Love him. He has gotten on a letterboxing kick. In a nut shell it's like a treasure hunt but the "booty" is a stamp in your log book saying "I've been here". The kids are enjoying it, and we are seeing some sites we probably might have skipped. For instance we have never been to some of the national parks, or some sites in San Diego. Here is some pictures.

When you have the time.

When you have the time you can actually do your hair cute. I tell you I love all things old school. So I did my hair a la Rosie Riveter. Ask me about my hair today? Ssh it's not even combed. LOL

The law won.

I can not believe it but my honey got 2 tickets in the same week. The first one was for speeding. He was going 70 in a 55 mph zone. The 2nd one was on our way to San Diego. He got a ticket in my car about the tint on our car. I guess the windows are too dark. I disagree but whatever he still got 2 tickets on his record.

So we will pay for these some day soon.

Total Tiburon Rip Off.

New Baby Photos

This is my new niece and she is beautiful. I hope I am spelling her name correctly it's Audrina Kiana. She is 1 week old and I love that new baby smell. She is a big gal coming in at over 8 lbs. She is happy and nursing strong. Jaime is the new big brother. I think he doesn't even know he has a little sister yet. I think he has her on ignore. LOL

Happy Easter!

I've always said trying to get pictures of my kiddos is the hardest thing. I hope you enjoy this Easter with your family. Have a blessed day!

The healing benefits of Bacon.

According to an article here Bacon can cure the hangover. There is something in the bacon that raises amino acids which aides in curing the dreaded hangover. Who would have thunk it that bacon cures all. Now only is bacon could cure cancer all would be right in the world. LOL

I am happy to know about this although I will not be needing this cure I haven't drank in forever, let alone gotten drunk. oh well hope it helps you.

Things I am not looking forward to.

-I am not looking forward to paying taxes.

-I am not looking froward to paying for such services knowing that I have to pay the State money. Thanks a lot state. You raise my taxes, and now I owe you more.

- To paying for my license renewal on my nursing license.

- Pap smear enough said.

- Raising another 5k for the mommy make over.

- Going to work the next 2 days plus Saturday.

- Possibly staying in the ICU till August. I love it and get bored with it.

- Mammogram. ouch.

That's about it for now.
