the day

yeppers...finally finished the things around the house and showered then headed for jan's...of course by the time that we got there most everyone left...but it was nice after every left cause jan and i got to sit and talk for awhile...and needless to say we laughed the whole time because that is just what we do when we are together....and she introduces me as her other sister which i love...

we always have a great time together and she is like my sister....we know what each other is thinking and we even say the same things at the very same time...then we have to do the whole jinx...owe me a coke thing...ok..it seems that i am babbling..

o...btw...the pool is not green....just cloudy...and i have to get the rest of the leaves out and that should clear the water....i am so excited...

now the allergies have hit hard and i have to take the contacts out cause the eyes are SO itchy...

but i will leave you with these words of wisdom as they were stated to me by one of my favorite patients...

you can lead a horse to water
but a pencil must be lead....

LOL

Playing catch up

that is what this weekend is all about...playing catch up...i have to catch up on the yard work, getting the pool ready, the gardens, the housework, the wash, the cleaning, and friends and family...i don't usually have much time for any of it so there is a lot to be done....
so
yesterday i got all the things that i needed to open the pool...keep in mind that i did not cover the pool so there are MANY leaves in it and it is so green that it looks black...but i poured 20 gallons of chlorine in the water and it is looking much better already..

i have planted 2 tomatoe plants and a green pepper plant...i have already planted the herbs for the kitchen and they are doing well...

i took the kids to the bookstore and it was SO nice to be there for pleasure and not to be studying...

and today...i am going to a bar-b-que at jan's...omg...i have a sunday of nothingness...no studying...no worrying..oh joy of joys.....

tomorrow is a holiday so the kids do not have to get up early for school and i have NO work...yay for me!!!!

i hope that everyone is doing well...and..perhaps maybe leave me a little message of hello...

i am going...because i have some more flowers to plant and i want...no...NEED a shower...i am sweating bullets....ok

ciao

SPONGEBOB..

THE BUS IS HERE!!

Peace

peace...

it seems to be taking me over...

I took the dogs for a walk

and

usually I am in such a hurry with

studying, cleaning, cooking, wash and kids

that I either don't have time for it

or

I take them for very short walks...
but not today...
I took a very long, relaxing, beautiful walk...
I know..
I know..
it seems like such a minute thing..
small in it's own right...
a walk..
primitive..
most everyone does it...
most everyone takes it for granted...
not me...
not today...
with every step I took

it seemed

as if the anxiousness dissolved...
the stress seemed to lessen...
and I relaxed...
I could see the beauty around me..
and I could appreciate it..
all of it...
the gentle breezes
the rustling of the leaves
the scent of honeysuckle floating in the air
the rich green of the lush lawns
the vibrant colors of all the gardens
the deep, lovely blue skies
the sweet songs of the many birds
the lapping of the gentle waves as they rolled onto the shoreline
the distant philly skyline with the majestic towers tickling the underbelly of the skies
and the air is peaceful
and the sky is peaceful
and I am, slowly but surely, beginning the long journey of feeling peaceful

I look back over the past few years and it just feels as if I was off to war
with what??
I don't know
with who??
I am not sure

but what I am sure about is
I feel like I am on familiar ground
I am back on the homefront
and the past years
...distant memories

the friends will remain
the wonderful memories,
they are there forever

but
with every step
with every breath
the tension lessens
the anxiety dwindles
the apprehension diminishes

and I am coming home

NOT THE BUTTONS...NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTONS

Sittin at home

here i have been for the week...mostly 'cause the last 2 days i have been vanless...i have gotten very little done around the house because i have been lazy and sleeping late and catching up on doing nothing...seems strange not to be studying for some test, exam, quiz, or clinical day...so...here i am...doing much of nothing...being lazy...not going anywhere...but that changes next week for a few days....when i have to go to a short class...but it will be nice to see everyone again...my how i miss my peeps :)

well...i had a dream that i started work but i showed up in my clinical uniform instead of the traditional navy blue scrubs and i did not have my PDA or my drug book with me...i felt very unprepared...i will have to make sure that i pack those things before i start work :)

ok...i have rambled and i must get some more housework done so that i will be free to work in the gardens all weekend...that is after the party that i am going to tomorrow..that's right...another graduation party...i think there will be one every weekend for the whole summer...yeah for me...

Quick Update

ok...for the updates...

Tyler made it to the graduation with his own personal nurse...he was allowed to go to the reception for a short time but then he got tired and wanted to go back to his room....many of my friends went out afterwards but i stayed at the hospital with tyler....the graduation was awesome and i have some pictures to post but elyssa left the camera at Sue's house...

tyler got out of the hospital on friday night...he is doing much better and i am thankful that he is recovering nicely...

there was a party on saturday for the graduation and i was not sure that i wanted to go...actually i was positive that i wanted to go but i was not sure that i wanted to leave tyler...but Lorenzo talked me into going and i followed his advice and i ended up having a great time with all my friends...but i only went for a few hours then i came back home and the boy wanted me to go to mickies...(now i know he is feeling better)...i refused mickies but went to the store and got him some treats and his all time favorite drink..chocolate milk..then i got him a quesadilla....(but you must say it the napolean way..a dang case a dil la...)...i had it made special since he can have NOTHING hot or spicy...he was happy with it in spite of that...

mother's day was sunday so we went to visit my mother and bring her some presents..she was happy with them...we stayed for a bit...chuck was there with his new baby..chuckie (as i call him) but CJ to his mom...he is a little package of cuteness....and i was happy to get to hold him and kiss him and love him...till he cried..then back to papa...aunt baby don't do no cryin babies...i told the tyke that before i even held him so he knew the rules :)

well....i got the date set for the big celebration...it will be on july 30th...from 4-8...i had to make it later in the summer so that all the other parties would be over and my friends would be able to come to mine...i am so excited...more on the plans for the party later...for now...i am going to bed...i am tired and i have a lot to do tomorrow...
