funk.

i feel like i'm in a bit of a funk. i think it's because i just don't want to deal with school anymore. i am so excited to start at primary children's but the thought of tests/papers/quizzes this summer makes me want to scream. i just want to have fun! i just took my first quiz and it wasn't even that hard, but getting myself to do it was like pulling teeth. i'm just not in the mood for school. okay okay, i'm done complaining. i know i've got it real good.

especially since i get to hang out with this handsome fella all the time. he came home from work today to take me for a little lunch, such a sweetie. too bad our food was grossssssss. please excuse my sickie face. i make it all the time and then i wonder why why why?!! isaac just looks so cute!

little thoughts.

{via we heart it}

i need a break from studying. i have pretty much had this whole week off from school and you would think i would have been studying like crazy...but no. i'm miss procrastinator. i've been cleaning, exercising, cooking/baking, working, and mostly playing around. whoopsies. i just want a break already!!

today was a good day. i went to an lasik appointment to see if lasik vision correction is in my near future and it is! i hope i find the time {and money!} this summer to squeeze it into my schedule. i'm ready to say goodbye to contacts and glasses for good. i have been wearing them for 16 years! geez that's a long time.

isn't the image above darling? i recently discovered the site we heart it and can't get enough! it is full of inspiring images, you should definitely check it out.

you also must go to a little sussy and check out her photos of the most gorgeous dessert table i have ever seen. i literally had to catch my breath when i saw it, it's so fabulous.

and lastly, i made cheddar chicken tonight for dinner. no pictures...but you must check out the recipe via real simple. it's delicious.

okay, i'm going back to studying. adios.

tonight.

i am 100% grump.
my poor husband.
i attribute it to the fact that i am applying for my capstone and it is stressing me out big time.
in a way i am deciding my career!
which is exciting, but stressful.

dear husband,
i am sorry for having a snarl on my face.
i love you.

i just need to take some really deep breaths.

i'm here to unload.

today i've been cooped up in our apartment all day. i've recently caught isaac's terrible cold and it has knocked me out. and on top of it i have mounds of homework. let it be known, third semester of nursing school sucks/rules. i love my pediatric class/clinical and community class/clinical but hate my policy class, mostly because of the gigantic paper that is due on monday. there is nothing i hate more than writing papers.

other thoughts...

i have gone through an entire box of tissue in one day. have you ever had a cold where you feel like your nose is constantly running so you grab a tissue and then there is nothing there? drives me nuts. oh, and one nostril is all stuffed up and the other isn't? why!!!

i always think skipping school and staying home all day cuddled on my bed sounds so nice but then when i actually do it i hate it. i get so claustrophobic and have to flee to my icy deck for fresh air.

isaac and i had a pizza party tonight and watched whip it. loved it. oh, and i made cupcakes but by the time it was time to frost them i was too tired. maybe tomorrow.

did i tell you isaac and i are now our ward librarians?! cool huh. if you need some scriptures or some copies made, we're all yours.

on wednesday i got to help place a PICC line in a little tiny 29 day old babe. it's a pretty invasive procedure but guess what we used to sedate her? this sugar water stuff called sweeties that the babes can't get enough of. we just put some on her binkie and it calmed her right down. she held still for the whole procedure, it was amazing. i love babies.

again: writing nursing policy papers suck. actually, all papers suck. i hate writing. if i ever consider graduate school i'm going to have to find my way back to this post to remind myself how much i hate writing and then maybe i'll reconsider.

thanks for letting me rant. i needed it.

this weekend is full of nursing policy for me, but i hope yours is fabulous!

back to school.

after a 3 1/2 week break i am back to school today. and i'm not happy about it. i should be more excited...i am starting my pediatric/maternal/community rotations (all my favorite areas) but i'm bummed to be going to back to the grind. they say 3rd semester is the most difficult and time consuming so i think that is what has me all worked up. gaaaaah. let's hope i get back into a routine quickly. i only have to make it until august and then i'll be a genuine nurse. booya! for all of you starting school again, good luck. at least we're all in this together {thank you for the line high school musical}.

p.s. - i had the best birthday weekend, i can't wait to share it with you.

oh little tree.

isn't our tree darling? i love it.
last week was full of studies and now i only have 2 days left.
i have literally been glued to my couch with the electric blanket ike bought me (if you don't have one i highly recommend getting one) with peppermint hot chocolate in one hand and med/surg notes in the other. the end is in sight!

kill me now.

last night i started studying for a final that required way more time than i gave it. why must i procrastinate so much?! pray i get an 80% on this test or i'll have to retake it, which i hate doing. finals and christmas do not mix well. i just want to be decorating and shopping and baking and listening to christmas music 24/7 and instead i'm forced to study.
help meeeeeee.
