Migraine from Hell

Today was a sucky day. I had a full day plan of activities. First I went to the local tree house. Nicholas had a grand time playing with the hundreds of toys they have there. I had a slight headache coming on. Figured I needed to eat.

Ate, than off to drop off G at Girl Scouts and Nicholas at his sitters. Off I go to physical therapy on the knee. Headache got worse. Now it's hurting to the point where I don't want to look at lights.

Hurry up finish, go to pick up the kids. Get home take drugs. Take a small nap. I so wanna throw up. I hate having headaches like these. It jacks me up all day.

Things I missed thanks to the headache getting my hair colored and cut.

Thanks headache you suck.

Beacuse I am feeling sappy

My shotgun wedding pics in Vegas Baby! Can you believe I will be married 10 years this year???? I never would have thought it. Just kidding.

Maybe I can get married again this year in Vegas by Elvis or something fun like that. If I do I so want this dress made.





oh I love the dresses by this chick. I soooo want one. Get it here.

oh to dream....

Summer Fun

Pictures of my kiddos having fun in our little rinky dink pool. To bad we have to wait until 5 p.m. to use it. Today 108 with 51% humidity. I am not going out side today. I may become nocturnal this summer.

Phone Abyss??

I had to buy new phones. I have to admit that the old ones were lost in the abyss of the house. I do have the little phone locate thing but when the battery dies on the phone it doesn't work . So what did we do take a little trip to Fry's and buy some new ones. Hopefully this time they can stay put. But who knows things have been knows to get lost in this house.

House phones
Cell Phones
Keys
Camera Battery
Clothes
Shoes
Hair Clips

All gone. Who knows where. I suspect the boys toy boxes.

Muffin Top

ok This is not me above. But it could have been to some degree. I am proud to announce though not anymore. Thanks to a man with a handy dandy scalpel my muffin top is gone.

Anyone who is reading this and doesn't know ME. I am a fairly thin person. Would I like to loose a few more lbs sure who wouldn't. But there was no way with all the sit ups and dieting that stretch marks or 2 inches of skin was going to go away magically.

Well now it has. No more muffin top for me. When my incision heals up a bit more I will post some pics but for now, I am a happy camper.

Is surgery for everyone probably not, but for me it was.

Ballet Recitial

My baby girl had her 2nd recital. She did really well. Included in the pics is Yasmin. She is really growing up. She was very sure of herself on stage and did not hesitate at all. I am very proud of her.

Annoying

Things I am annoyed by right now is,

These 2 drains I have in my belly. Yes I know they serve a purpose but lately that purpose is to annoy me.

Richie my hubby saying to me let me drain your balls (aka drains). Haha he thinks he is funny.

Not being able to take a shower.

A funky abdominal binder I have to wear. It is making me itch so bad.

Not being able to take a shower.

Not being able to yell at the kids properly for beating each other up. It hurts to yell.

So bored in bed I am watching QVC. I think I wanna buy a new special value.

Can't wait till tomorrow drains come out. :)

Hooray for Boobies

I admit it. I find it hard to believe that if you know me in real life you would not think I had some work done. How could I not pass off size C cups when I lived in A valley? Well I am now a resident of C town. Woot Woot.

I had them done last Friday, it was the best 30th Birthday present to me. Yes it hurts a bit more uncomfortable than anything else. I also threw in a tummy tuck for funsies.

There is no way no matter how many sit ups I did the 2 inches of flab was not going to budge or the stretch marks. So I did that too.

So as I type this I have drains and tubes and a funky girdle thing going on. Hopefully in the end I will feel and look better. :)

The ugly side

So I went to my pre-op appointment. I was happy to be there and nervous at the same time. I work in the medical field so I am use to the gore of surgery. But when they start talking, and telling YOU what to expect it's kind of scary and an ugly feeling all at the same time.

I will have a pain pump, I will have drains. I will have pain med's and nausea med's and bandaged like a mummy. I will have to cover my bed as not to ooze on it. Yeah sounds great huh.

But in the end a flat tummy, and some new boobies. Can't wait.

Can't wait to watch.

Some of my favorite shows are coming up this summer. Perfect timing. A little "Hug it out Bitch" and True Blood. My Vampire fix till the new Twilight movie comes out.

Am I the witch?

Some days I think my kids think I am the wicked witch. I know on some days when the kids are driving me up the wall. I may resemble her look and that thing she is doing with her hands.

I try to be a good mom but not everyday do I succeed. I get annoyed by the "mama mama mama" like a hundred times in a minute. I feel like a waiter with the "juice puleese" every 10 minutes. Or the latest " more or mas" that coming from the little one.

I do love being a mom though. When they are sleeping peacefully in their beds. Just kidding. I do love all parts of being a mom just not the vomit ones so much.

So even when I feel like the wicked witch. I do it with love and not evil.

Night at the Bar

Girls from the ER.
NO NO No I am not drunk just being bad.

Me and my bestie Angie. :)

Hiking

Some pictures of our hiking trip. Yes we managed with all the kids. They had tons of fun. No one fell down the mountains, and we all survived.

We went to Green Valley Falls kind of close to Julian, California. Who knew they had small pools, and water falls.

Family Fun

This weekend was family fun weekend. We set out early in the morning. Us and 3 other families. It was fun we went on a train ride through Campo of all places. The kids loved it. We had a picnic. We went on a hike. The kids had so much fun.
View from the train.

Let's talk boobies.

Yeah I did it I have a date for hoorah new boobies. Yeah I am throwing my business out there. Oh well. I plan on getting a new set of ta-tas this June. And just for funsies a flat super duper done a million sit up's but haven't tummy tuck.

Look I work out I do sit up's. But my battle scars I mean stretch marks are not leaving this body. And for the boobies, 3 pregnancies breastfeeding and mother nature playing a evil trick on my body. I deserve new boobies.

So it's set unless something happens in the mean time. I have my date set for June 12th. WOOHOO!

Goal- To wear a bathing suit again with confidence. :)

Gianna Ballet Pics

Here is some quick pics I took. I thought she looked beautiful. The recital is later in June. I think she will do great.

Kill them with kindness

Are you a kill them with kindness kind of person? I must say I love how when people are trying to get a rise out of you, and fluster you. That you keep your cool say all the "right words" and piss off the other people.

I am talking in reference to one of the Dr's. One who asked me this weekend if I speak English and if I understood his instructions? Yeah in my head I am thinking yeah dip shit I do understand English. But what came out was the most PC nice words I could say. It pissed him off. I LOVED it. To which he promptly hung up on me only after saying Thank you.

I must say it takes a lot for me to blow up on you. At work I am trying to be the most professional nurse. Even at times when families and Dr's are pissing me off to no end. I keep my cool, and move along.

So this weekend was an exercise in keeping my cool. For which I did wonderfully.

On to other things. Things I must suggest make some decision about your health like whether or not you want "all" to be done. In my house if I am dead dead let me go. Don't put me on life support. Same goes for the hubby.

Things I ponder?

So when I talk about blogging to other people do they think I am crazy for blogging?

I talk about people like I know them just from reading their blogs.

I may have lost my mother of the year award when I whispered under my breath, little f-ers when I found my wedding ring and watch in a dump truck upstairs. I had been looking all day for it.

I have another appointment tomorrow with the plastic. The big finale before I decide which Dr.

I really want to see the musical Wicked. I read the book awhile back and it's coming to SD in August.

Why am I obsessed with a good deal. I am those freaky lady's who has coupons for almost everything.

Why are my kids pros at whining? I am tired of it.

Thoughts on 30.

I know it's just a number but I turned 30 on the 6th. I was kind of sad, like my twenties are ending. But whatever. I have been married all of my 20's with children. So it's not like I was partying my 20's away.

Do I feel different at 30 no not really. I actually feel better. I am more sure of myself, and what I want. I have always been opinionated but more so now. I am stubborn I know. I am more self confident. I can walk in to a room full of people, and not feel so timid. There is good things about turning 30 I guess.

My hubby says I am finally coming in to my own. I say he's right but I finally know what I want and need to do.

So I am sure this year will be a great year. I am happy got a good job, a great husband, great kids, and a roof over our heads. I am thankful.

Early Birthday Gifts!

My best girl Angie bought me this dress as an early b-day present. Cute yeah? She got it at American Eagle.

And of course my Richie wanted to get in on the picture taking. He is still such a ham.

The Good and the Bad of the ICU.

It was a very trying week for me at work. It made me question myself, and why I chose nursing in the first place. Don't get me wrong I love being a nurse but some days are pure hell on earth. I think God is testing me to see if I will crack.

I did crack a little. After coming out of one of my patients room, I must have looked like hell because the charge nurse asked me if I needed a hug. I did and yes I did accept said hug.

I wanted to cry I think a stress filled day mixed with hormones thanks Aunt Flo. I was a mess. I seriously said I don't want to come back tomorrow.

But I did come back. Yes you only get 2 patients in the ICU. But those patients are work. I literally spent hours trying to save a man's life, the next day same thing again but different patient.

I still wonder if the ICU will be my niche. I sure hope it is. I have so much more to learn. The ladies there are amazing though. They will back you up, and save your ass. They fight like family, but don't mess with anyone or else you will get the wrath of them all. Some of the nurses there have been there over 20 years. I can only hope I can get it together like them.

It is amazing though to visit with the families. You do what you can, and yet you try to keep your distance. But you don't want to seem uncaring. Those are people's mothers and fathers brothers and sisters you are taking care of. And yes I do care.

Buying my own

In honor of my birthday, I went shoe shopping a la the internet. I bought these for work.

Ya I know the clogs are funky, but of well they actually look really cute with scrubs, and being the funky one I am I bought some. Happy Birthday to me. Tomorrow.

I know I am old when.

I must be old. I don't like this commercial. I also don't like this song from Brittany Spears. I must be a prude but I don't want my daughter singing this song.




ok off to yelling at kids get off my grass.

Update on Me.

Some weird things of me lately.

I dream lately of taking pictures. In my dreams, I am taking these really cool pictures, and the lighting is always right and looks amazing. Too bad it's not like that in real life.

I am obsessed with getting a certification. I need to get either my certified emergency nurse or the critical care nurse certification. Now I don't get a raise if I get it but it's the beauty of knowing I passed the test.

I am in love with my new mascara see post below.

I turn 30 next week. I don't want a party I don't want to celebrate.

I have been working so much I have been neglecting my blog.

Gianna got 2 red cards in the last month. I am sad. She usually is a good girl, and she is but it's not like her to get in trouble at school. And detention to boot oh no. So she was grounded from TV all weekend long.

oh and I can't wait for the boxing match this weekend. Hatton vs Paciao.

Beauty Products I love

I am in love with lotion. I slather this on my children and at work after washing my hands a gazillion times a day this works and it smells yummy. Plus it's cheap like less than 4.00 at whatever store carries baby stuff.
OK I was a little worried about this one. Come on really a mascara that will lengthen my lashes and not make them fall down yeah right. Well it works. I love this stuff. I have the long lashes like fake ones but no no no these are my lashes. When you wash it off you get this little tube thingys in your hand or wash clothes, but those are the tubes washing off. No smudging or flaking for me either.


Ssssh don't tell anyone my most favorite after the shower lotion has a hemp leaf on it. I use this stuff everyday and through out the day. I LOVE it. It's kind of pricey but it smells great and leaves me silky smooth. LOL I buy mine at trade secrets.

Yes I know today's post is more of an infomercial, but thought I would share.

BBQ Day

I took these pics with my Sony. I always have my sony in my bag. Doesn't take as good as photos as my d50 but who cares. Anyways the hospital every year puts on a BBQ for their employees. It was fun they had jumpers for the kids, free food, face painting, fun games, bingo, or loteria as it's called here, and free snow cones. Yummy.

The kids ran around and had a fun time. The hubby was there too but since he is higher on the food chain at work not he had to serve the food.

Hubby's new obsession.

MY husband is a weirdo at times. God Love him. He has gotten on a letterboxing kick. In a nut shell it's like a treasure hunt but the "booty" is a stamp in your log book saying "I've been here". The kids are enjoying it, and we are seeing some sites we probably might have skipped. For instance we have never been to some of the national parks, or some sites in San Diego. Here is some pictures.

When you have the time.

When you have the time you can actually do your hair cute. I tell you I love all things old school. So I did my hair a la Rosie Riveter. Ask me about my hair today? Ssh it's not even combed. LOL
