I am in a fleece sweat shirt with the windows open and it is August 9th. It was a beautiful day, a nice cool down from such a hot few weeks. We like hot but it is nice to actually be outside and not sweat to death.
This past week has been a week of tears...
Both girls have been under the weather. Ellie was brought to urgent care last Thursday and diagnosed with strep. Hadley has just a cold, but it is enough to make her whiny. I brought her in on Monday, but nothing like strep, just a cold... so we are on Advil and water to cure it. Then tonight, even after Ellie has been on antibiotics for a week, she puked... yep... not really sure... she was quiet today, didn't really eat and then this evening, while I was rocking her around 5ish, I knew she wasn't herself, so I went to lay her down in my Mom's bed and she puked everywhere, we ran to the toilet and the poor little gal just kept saying ouch... she went into the bath, got on jammies and ate some chex cereal. Didn't really eat any dinner.
Robert and I had plans to eat out tonight, a date night, we went (because we knew Ellie was in good hands) and had some yummy food at Lonesome Pine on Bay Lake. Love that place, great salads and bread and then wonderful meals. Always great service! I tried a new drink, Andrew's drink, a Jameson and Ginger and it was delicious.
We pick the gals up at 8:30pm and came home. Gave Ellie a dose of Advil and she went right to bed, she has woke up once and I laid her in Hadley's bed. Hadley is sleeping with Daddy right now... we play musical beds here at the Heinsen House.
School update:
I got a B in my A&P class, I am okay with that... I worked hard but I also didn't make myself sick!
I went to my LPN orientation on Tuesday, kinda a waste of time but it did give me anxiety. I am hoping this next year goes fast. Basically I have a full time job PLUS and I am not getting paid for the next year.
August 27th... I start my full time unpaid job (school)... I need my books still and a white lab coat and something else but I can't remember. I still want to apply to the accelerated nursing program through St. Scholastica and I need to work on my application but I think I have until Nov. If I were to get into that program, I would have my BSN one year earlier. That is is my goal, to attain by BSN... So drinks with Genal in 3+ years!
I put in my two weeks at the Messenger and will be done there on August 22nd. Actually made me kinda sad!
Tomorrow, I work at the Mess and then at the nursing home until 11pm... a gal asked if I would work for her and I said yes. I probably should have said no, because I work Saturday night and then I leave for Vegas on Sunday through Tuesday very late, so probably won't put the gals to bed until Wednesday of next week. That is very crazy to write! WOW... quite the break for me... probably good timing before I start my full-time unpaid job, but I will still miss them a lot!
They are my world, I am doing what I am doing for them!
Night!
