It's finally hit our home. It is surprising considering I work in a hospital, but really we've been fairly well this winter. Thia feels a lot like flu but can't be sure. We're riding it out. Coughing, sneezing, runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, headache, body aches, chills and I had a fever this morning. It stinks! I missed a little work over it and some other health issues. Would appreciate some prayers!!
Hope everyone out there is staying healthy!!

Please someone tell me this twitter craze is untrue? Justin Bieber was caught smoking weed. Now girls are doing this so he'll stop? Soooo basically you think hurting yourself will make a celebrity who doesn't know you exist, just stop partying? I'd rather Justin smoke a little weed than slash his wrists like an idiot. I realize what cutting is and why people do it. I'm a nurse. It is however STUPID. And doing it for a celebrity is plain dumb.

How is the blogger world doing these days? I have been busy with work. I am so over night shift but for now, that's where I'm still at. I like parts of it, but there are other parts I'm not as fond of, such as not being on the same schedule as my kids. I miss just being home with them at night. I work 3 twelve hour shifts a week, which is not bad, but one day off is always about sleeping. It's hard to do with kids. I'd love to just get on days now. I am not sure about WHERE I work though. I still plan to go into the Oncology field. At this point I haven't yet. I still work with a lot of cancer patients though. I work with a bit of everything.


Other than that it's been a crazy time for me. This summer was insane. My life has been turned upside down really. So much as happened that I can't even write about. I could use prayers, well wishes, good vibes, thoughts, whatever it is you do. I need it. I have been having a hard time dealing with all that's going on. I struggle inside with what to DO. I only hope that whatever happens it's the right thing!

My life has been changing drastically these days. I needed a night out and I got it for my brother in law's birthday. It was a great time. I had a lot of fun. I was with my sister of course and got a great pic of us all together hanging out.

I have really loved a new artist named Karmin since she came onto the scene. The girl did a lot of cover videos for youtube when shew as discovered. She has some hits out there now, but is still working her way up to get noticed. I consider myself a long time fan simply because I was watching her youtube videos before she ever made her big break. So now I'd like to help her out a bit. She needs votes to make it on the cover of Rolling Stone! So I am going to post this here.  Vote for Karmin, once a day. If she ends up on the cover it will be so cool. She's a wonderful singer. I find I like her renditions of certain songs MORE than the originals. She has a really cool, different style.

Here's Karmin. Listen, and vote. :) Thanks!

I've become sort of obsessed lately with doing my nails. I got this giant box of nail polish. I can pretty much do any design my  heart desires and I have been experimenting lately. I have done a lot of different things. I occasionally post the pics to facebook but I'm sure some people are thinking "yawn". I like to show off what I've done so I'm just gonna do it here today!!!

Other than that I've been working a lot. I took the kids to Six Flags last weekend. It was a lot of fun. I have to work all weekend now. Ugh. 3 twelve hour shifts. I should be sleeping now. Oh well. We'll see how it goes!

This weekend has been a hard one. We have lost a dear friend. I have spoken of my brother in law's band frequently in the past. The band name is Short Lived Fun. My brother in law is the drummer. One of the band members passed away suddenly yesterday...leaving behind a wife and children. My friend Corey and his wife Wendy are absolutely amazing people. She is a nurse. They are giving, loving people. It's sad and honestly right now I am just in shock. Please send prayers to his family. His loss is felt deeply by anyone who ever met him because he was just that kind of guy. We love you Corey! You are missed. I can't even begin to imagine never seeing you again.
