blah, blah, blah.....

well my last blog got through to calicanadiangirl but now bezsays hates blogging. what am i supposed to do?!?! :) i am so tired cause i couldn't fall asleep until way late and then kept waking up all night. it really was a crappy night. the good news is, is just one more sleep (like every other tues this month) and tony will be home. but this time i will be done with clinical before he gets home. he should be home around 10pm. besides going to school today and having a lot of studying not only to do tonight but every night this week before fri, there's really nothing more for me to say. the weather here isn't really anything to talk about either. this just may be my shortest post ever. what am i going to do for the rest of the morning? i still have over half an hour before i have to leave. usually i am on the comp until 8:55-9:05 and then i finish getting ready. but this morning, if i really don't have anything else to say, i will be off by 8:40 and i really don't have all that much to do to finish getting ready. oh well, i'll think of something cause i really can't think of anything more postworthy (if you call all the stuff i already wrote postworthy!!) tata

slackers.....

well, it seems we all have been slacking when it comes to writing posts. bezsays hasn't written since sept 15th. theaterbuff hasn't written since sept 9th. me and calicanadiangirl haven't written since sept 21st. so i am the first one to break the horrible chain of not blogging. how do i know you all are still alive if you don't write on your blog?!?! :) well, i am a little sad this morning...tony left at 2am to go back to work til tues. :( i have plenty of stuff to do this weekend to keep me occupied and hopefully not dwell on the fact that i am alone and i miss him. not in any particular order, this weekend i have to: study, do homework, study, clean the house, study, clean the pool, study, mow the lawn, study, wash blankets and sheets, study, bug bomb the house, study. oh, did i mention i have to study!! :) but to make studying a little easier and more fun, i have a study partner. so i will probably be over there alot this weekend and over the week as we prepare for our test fri. tony just got his bowhunting license for this season and he promised me that he is going to teach me and take me out hunting this year. i have shot guns before but never have i shot an arrow. i've held a bow before and it was awkward and the string was stiff so it looks like it maybe kinda tough to learn. so if i do bad during bowhunting season it will give me more to look forward to gun season cause i know that i can do that. i'm just so excited to go hunting for the first time and be in nature with tony. it probably sounds so morbid someone being so excited to shot and kill an animal but for anyone who has ever been hunting or wanted to go, you know what i mean. so from now on, everyone pick up the slack and get back to blogging regularly. tata

what happened.....?!?!

i had a really good blog to post yesterday morning and after i pressed publish post it said 0% published. i was so peeved so i tried to remember everything i wrote and i retyped it and it did it again. there was no time to try again cause by that time i should have left the house 10 mins ago to get to clinical. but the post went a little something like this: i was talking about how excited i was that tony would be home by the time i got home from clinical but that's old news cause now that he is already home i can't talk about how excited i am that he is coming home. so anyways, today after school we are taking his mom out for lunch/dinner for her birthday and then either all of us or just me and carol are gonna go to watertown for sam's club for some groceries, a scrub shop so i look for new scrubs for clinical and then we are off to base for the rest of grocery shopping. i love grocery shopping for some reason. yesterday we watched the movie, "the longest yard." it wasn't as funny as i thought it would be considering adam sandler is in it but it was still really good. i bet you are all wondering how i did on my test mon. well, i.......................................................................................................................................................................

...............ok, i'll tell you, i.....faiiiiiiiiipassed!!! :) HAHA wasn't that fun?!?! as you can tell i am just jibbering-jabbering when i probably should finish getting ready. plus, who knows maybe this post won't publish either so i don't wanna write to much in case that does happen. tata

Good Luck To.....

.....Me!! I have another test today. this one is not as important as my test fri, it's just a dosage calculations test. but i still wanna do good. i am just so bad at math that's it's a challange everytime we have to write one of these tests. oh well, i think i am prepared. besides tomorrow being clinical, which is the best part of the nursing program, tony is coming home. i really miss him when he is gone. it's especially tough being newlyweds. i don't know which i would rather have...a husband gone throughout everyday and home every night with the possibility of getting called away to the office and being at home but doing work or a husband who is gone for 3-4 nights but when he gets home he is all mine for the next 3-4 days who never has to worry about work or the office calling or having to work on some project due for his boss. this is my second marriage and i have had both types of husands and i think i prefer that once he is home he is all mine. it will be really great once he have kids. instead of tony only being able to see the kids every night before bedtime, he will get to spend 4 whole days in a row with them. wow, that's kinda neat to think about...it puts a big smile on my face!! :) well back to business. i better finish getting ready so i don't leave the house late. i am meeting a friend for a review session for an hour before the test. from all of you, good luck to me. thanx for the vote of confidence!! :)

OUCHIE.....

i got all my shots and tests i needed on friday for my immigration physical. to get tested for HIV and RPR wasn't so bad, they just had to draw up some blood. since i have never had a tetanus shot before i never knew what to expect. and now i know why i have never had one...they hurt! :( the neddle goes in your deltoid muscle and once they start to inject it, it stings really bad. it wasn't sore so much until later that night. especially when you roll over to sleep on that side. that's when i really felt the pain!! even last night to sleep on that side hurt. it was pretty swollen yesterday but now that is mostly gone. now it just has a bump where the needle had been injected, like a mosquito bite. and to make it worse since this was my first time having a tetanus shot, they have to do it in 3 doses. the next one will be one month from fri and the last dose will be 6 months after the 2nd. to really bum me out, a month from last fri will be my birthday, oct 16th. since my b-day is on a sun i know they won't be given me the shot on my actually birthday. but it's going to be either before my birthday (fri oct 14th) and then i will be in pain and be sore for my b-day weekend or it's gonna be after my birthday (mon oct 17th) and then all that happiness from the weekend of just celebrating will be shot...literally!!! :) speaking of birthdays, yesterday was tony's mom birthday. who knows how old she is?!?! :) since tony wasn't here on her birthday we will take her to celebrate on a day he is home. tony's sister and her husband took her and tony's dad out last night for dinner at a seafood restaurant. i don't know if she got any gifts. we got her a card and will get her a present at the same time we take her to dinner. she says she isn't much for celebrating or doing anything on her birthday, but i am sure she had a good time. she is probably just saying that to be modest!! :) there ain't much more to say for right now. i gots to get studying and practicing dosage calculations for my test tomorrow. tata

YIPEE.....

i am in the best mood ever. i passed my nursing test today. this was the first time i had ever passed the first test of the semester so needless to say i am so excited and i have no one to celebrate with. :( tony was home until 11:20am and since class got out at 11, by the time i went to the bank, got gas and got home he had already left. but he was very happy for me and also proud of me. to put a damper on my good mood i have to get a test for HIV, a tentanus shot and get a RPR test (for syphilis). no i am not sick, i have to get tested for my immigration physical. this is all routine and obviously not much fun. but since the appointment is at 1pm i better get a move on. i didn't post until now due to giving all my extra time to studying for the last couple of days and since i have another test on mon i can't promise i will have time to post anything this weekend. i will be at study groups for most of the days. so everyone enjoy your weekend and think of poor me working so hard, learning so much, when you are off having fun!!

YEAH and NAH.....

this morning my alarm clock was the worst sound i have ever heard. actually, i am just complainig cause it went off way too early. it's not the alarm clocks fault, i am the one who set and if it had gone off any later i would have been late for clinical. i just need to vent cause i am so tired. my plan was to get bed early last night but we all know how well that works when you plan it. either way, i am up. i may as well get used to it cause it's not like i can go back to bed. the YEAH in my title is for tony coming home today. he'll be home before me. approx he should be home around noon. i hate the trips when he has to return a day later due to late land times and no flights to get him home. and the NAH in my title is for i have my first nursing test on fri and even though he is home, i'll have my face shoved in books and notes studying. hopefully i will have a good day fri and do well on the test cause no matter what tony has leave in the afternoon and it's always easier when he has to leave if i am in a good mood. and then on mon i have a dosage calculation test. so that blows my weekend. today at clinical i will be checked off on my head to toe assessment. this just shows how school keeps you on your toes. that's all from me this morning. tata.

road block.....

it seems i have hit a road block in my blogging process. you all know that i complain that i never have anything interesting to write about. all i talk about is school or how much stuff i have to do for a particular day. i don't know if it annoys you but it sure does me. i mean, how hard it is to think of something to write that is exciting?!?! so that is why i never posted anything yesterday and really don't have much to say this morning. all i did yesterday was homework, cleaned the house and mowed the lawn. actually i did watch on the discovery channel a making of the events that happened on flight 93 on sept. 11, 2001. it was called, "the flight that fought back." it started at 9pm and by 9:07 i was crying and didn't stop until 11pm (that's when the show ended.) it was so sad. i hope everyone who wanted to had a chance to watch it, it was very good. also as a memorial, in NYC, where tony was last night for a overnight, they projected a ghostly white image of the world trade center towers where they still would be standing today. he said it looked really neat. that would have been cool to see. i never saw the towers before they were hit, so it be really great if on another memorial i got to see them projected where they should be. anything else that was done as a memorial yesterday that anyone else saw? as for today, all i got going on is school, coming home to do homework and anything else i feel the need to do. even though tony is done work tonight he will not be home until tomorrow sometime cause by the time he lands tonight all the flights that could get home have already left. so only one more night alone then he will be home until fri afternoon and then the same thing all over again. i have already had my cup of coffee so that's my cue to get my butt in gear and finish getting ready. hope someone has something interesting on their blog that i can read when i get home cause i can guarantee i won't have anything postworthy that would have happened at school that anyone would want to hear about!!

it's never ending.....

i hate having days off when you think you can sleep in. it's mornings like this that i wish i had a purpose for not be able to sleep in like i have to get up to get ready for school, or if i had kids and they are awake this early or if i had a job to go to. my body adapts to my schedule too well and since i have been getting up early for school most days, the mornings that i don't have school my body says wake up way too early. i can't totally blame it on my sleep schedule and what my body is used to, carol did call this morning at 7am to ask if i would go to watertown with her so she can look for a new washer. she is watching the 3 kids and could use some help. but since i was awake so early and kinda used to it, i couldn't fall back asleep. so i give up trying to get more sleep at 8:15 and call carol to say, "i'm up when do you need me?" but of course no answer. so i get up anyways, get a shower so i will be ready when she calls me back, drink my coffee and start typing and then she calls. so i am rushing through this as fast as i can cause she will be at 9:45 to pick me up and i gotta get dressed. i'll write and tell you more later. tata

last night.....

today i went to school for my one and only class and then met tony and his mom for lunch at a local restaurant. tony left for work today at 2:15 and won't be home until tues. since i didn't get to spend much time with him this morning before school it was nice to be able to have lunch with him before he had to leave. soon i will be going to carol's for a tupperware party she is having at 7pm but i'm going over real early since tony has left and to help her with anything she needs to get done to set up for the party. no sense me being at home alone. i have a couple of friends from school going to. even though i need nothing from their catalog, i will be going for the food!!
i am sure you are curious who won the football game last night. patriots did, of course. the final score was 30-20. it was a good game. the raiders scored the first touchdown of the game in the first quarter but the patriots didn't leave their side of the scoreborad empty for long. it was a late night. i never actually stayed awake for the whole game. i made it to the beginning of the 4th quarter and then fell asleep, which by then it was at least 11:30pm. no matter how much i saw, tony told me this morning that it was the patriots who won and by how much. he was pretty happy.
i have to give the dogs a bath before i go to carol's since it is a nice day outside, unlike yesterday. now with the carpets shampooed, blankets washed the last thing to hopefully get rid of the dog smell is wash the dogs. now we'll see what the answer to the question is that calicanadiangirl once asked:who is more wet after givng the dog a bath??!?! i'll let you know.

the big night.....

i have not been feeling the best so i really haven't been in the mood to post much. sorry. today, i felt a little better so since it was my day off and tony is home we shampooed the carpets and couchs to get rid of the smell where the dogs have marked. we had to start by pretreating the areas that they have marked with baking soda mixed with boiling water. while i moved stuff out of the way, tony shampooed and now it smells so good in here. i washed all the blankets in the living room cause the smell spread to them. it was a decent day outside when we started so we thought today would be perfect. but after we began shampooing it started raining and it rained hard. it's still raining now and there's no sun so the drying process will take days now instead of hours. at least we got it done.
tonight is the beginning of the football season so we are going to see the first game with some other people watching the england patriots vs oakland raiders. it was patriots who won the NFL last year and we were cheering for them so we think it was because of us that they won!! since tony does not like the raiders, again we are going to cheer for the patriots and hopefully they will win. but honestly no matter who the patriots played, we would be cheering for them. we will be enjoying typical football food: nachos, wings (super hot), chips and drinks. the kickoff is at 8pm and the game begins at 9 and goes until 11:30 or 12am. we have to run to town to get a few things for tonight, mainly the hot stuff we season the wings with. so everyone watch the game whose interested cause you don't wanna miss it.

up, up and away.....

i know i didn't post for the past two days but i had nothing that was postworthy and i still don't. i am leaving this message to let you know that i am aware my blog is boring and i am trying to improve it, so be patient!!
nothing much has happened since sat, so you really haven't missed anything exciting. tony got home late last night. i tried to wake up for him, like i usually do but with school requiring me be to be up so early i can't stay up like i used to. so i go to bed at 11:30pm and the dogs wake me back up at 12:40am (i think) because now there's somebody in the bedroom. no not a stranger or a burgular......don't worry it was tony!! :) i was pretty tired and out of it so i am sure the best he got that late was a kiss and maybe a quick hello or somethng short, sweet and to the point and then i was back to sleep. nothing better than what i got this morning from him when i had to get up early!! haha, just kidding honey, i love you! so by now i am up, dressed in my clinical scrubs, ate breakfast, drinking coffee, watching the time go by as i post and if i am not careful too much time will go by and i will be late for clinical so it would be best to say good bye for now and finish getting ready. i have to leave in 17 mins. tata

what i am going to be doing today.....

i made myself a to-do list for today. i like to keep myself busy, especially when tony is away. i will start by cleaning the house, then mowing the lawn, then cleaning the pool, then weeding, then doggie duty, then giving the dogs bathes and if they'll let me trying to trim them a bit, then do some reading for my intro to early childhood class. i think that may be it. don't you agree, that i will be busy for the rest of the day?!?!
so far school has been alright...besides the fact that not even one day have i gotten out of there the time i was supposed to. but that's what the first week is all about. tieing together some loose ends. i had to drop my parenting skills class due to changing my clinical from every second weekend to every tues. since i dropped a parenting class i wanted to pick up something that still had something to do with children since someday we will be parents, i thought it would be useful. the only class that would work with my schedule was intro to early childhood. it's every wed night 6-9pm. that makes my wed a very long day. i go to my first class at 10-12 then have a 6 hour break until that class starts at 6. so i won't get home until 9:30. at least i have thurs off so i don't have to be up early for anything. the class seems really interesting so far so i look forward to it.
well if i hope to accomplish everything i want to today i better get started.

it's all over.....

i am all over what happened yesterday and not in the mood to try to explain it. so i am no longer going to talk about it. so i guess you'll never know just how horrible my day was or why i was at school for 12 hours. it's no matter, don't worry yourself over it!!
today is nice and sunny. no rain like they said. but our pool sure is full and spots of our basement are soaked. it's the gas prices due to the hurricane that has hurt us most. i told you yesterday that in 14 hours gas jumped from $2.79/g to $3.24/g but now they are saying they are going to keep rising. great news.....NOT!!!!! how bad are everyone else's prices for gas? as high or higher than ours?
i am enjoying my day off from school, as i will every thursday of this semester. and to make it even better, my day before the weekend is only one class for 2 hours. so on fridays, i go to school for 10-12 then my weekend starts. so i look forward to that as well.
as you can tell all is good here with me, us, school, weather, etc... lets not even talk anymore about the gas prices!! :)

oh my gosh....

what a day....where to begin?!?! it rained so much and so hard that are pool is flooded. i wore jeans today to school and we all know how uncomfortable wet jeans are. i sat in my class soaked. and in one night, less than 24 hours, the gas jumped from $2.79/g to $3.2/g. like what the heck. you know that the ground is full of the cheaper gas and is it covered up by the expensive gas but we are paying higher for the cheap gas. the ways they screw us.
so about my day. you know what, i have tried to type it several times to explain it to you and it is just not coming out right. i think i need to unwind a bit. basically, i will tell you i was at school til 9pm today due to the crap that i am finding difficult to explain to you.
