Who Said Stoma?








So today in Nursing School we got to practice putting on a colostomy bag, on ourselves, with fake poop in them. We get to wear them for twenty-four hours... It isn't hard, just wierd. I showed my kids and Lane told me to take it off. He said that he didn't like it. Alyse has told everyone all night not to touch my poopy... It was really funny. She also says that it is stinky, which it isn't... So funny. My brain is so tired that I can't think of anything else to tell you, oh just now something hit me, Alyse has worn big girl underpants and kept them dry two days in a row now..I also follow after my sister and love to take sleeping baby pictures..... So here are a few pictures... Have a great rest of your week...

First Shots



Yesterday I recieved two shots from my lab partner and then I gave her two shots... One Sub-Q and one IM injection. It was so much fun... It felt like real nursing stuff, drawing meds out of vials and working with the neddles ans syringes. Makes it seem more real... I included my battle wounds.. Hope you enjoy.... We are also busy in school with test, every class is now having an exam..... So much work this work... Life has just been so busy, every weekend has something it seems for the rest of this month and next. Tony is working with our horse Bella and Lane has been riding her. Today I had to go to my first ever deposition... I know I sound so important... I witnesses an accident last year and today I had to testify to what happened. I thought that it would take an hour and it would just be a few questions, nope it was so hard.. It took two and half hours... I had to answer every question under the sun.... I think even what color was the sun the day of the accident... It was horrible... I never thought it would be that bad... My kiddos are good... Today Alyse wore big girl underwear all day at the babysitter and had no accidents, I bring her home and she pees her panties twice... I don't understand. I wish she would just be potty trained already so I could stop buying diapers... Well I need to go to bed, I am suffering from a slight cold/sinus infection thing going on, so I am trying to get good sleep, plus I have class at eight am. I just can't believe it 4 weeks of nursing school DONE.............. Unbelievable. Have a great weekend everyone.

I forgot to say that Tony for his birthday got a new saddle.....

Breaking Bella






So this was a fun weekend... We first had a surprise birthday party for Tony, he's the big 30... Wow!! It was fun, great turn out of friends and family... We all went to Alexander's Steak House. He knew something was up, but didn't know who or how many people would be there. The other big task for this weekend was working with our horse... We just got a round pen last week so we've been working her and tonight Tony got her saddled... Lane our little cowboy was the first to ride her, then our sweet cowgirl said, "Me too, me too" so she rode second... We were impressed with our pretty horse. This Sunday's sermon was very touching. It was such a wonderful weekend of family time, beautiful weather, and good times with friends.... I thanked God many times. As the sun was setting tonight, Lane looked at me and said, " Mommy, is that a pretty picture that God did?" I got teared up and said, "Yes it is, and we should thank Him" It was a touching moment. I should say that at the beginning of the summer I made a comment to Lane about the beauty God gives us with the sunsets, I just didn't think that he was listening. I hope everyone has a great week, May God Bless You All....
