What's new?

Ok! Wow! It has been a long time since I have even LOOKED at my blog! Family, school and work took up all of my time, but we have begun a new stage in our life and school (fortunately)is not part of it! I am very pleased to say that I have finished nursing school!!!! I passed my NCLEX in 75 questions (thank you very much) and right now as I type am at my first job as an RN!! I am looking forward to graduation on the 26th, mostly because I am graduating with honors and yes, I worked my butt off for that! If anybody ever says that nursing school isn't hard, well, they are either retarded or a liar!! I along with 39 other new grads can attest to that!!! I have some new pictures to put up and I will do that when I am on my own computer, but thought I would just say a quick something while I had the chance! TTFN!!!

Happy Birthday Bud!!!! We love you!!!

Ok seriously!!!! I don't know what the heck happened with my post, sorry for the "star wars" effect on the words!!!! (once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away)!!! Don't know what I'm talking about? Just keep going down!!!! down I said, stop reading this!!!!

Ok! Ok! I know everybody who has a facebook account is probably sick of hearing about it, but guess what???
I FREAKIN PASSED THE STUPID NCLEX PN BOARDS!!!!!
Ok, so I think I might have it out of my system! Oh, wait, no not yet!
IT'S A MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I'm done now.
I know it isn't as big of a deal as passing the RN boards, but hey, you gotta start somewhere and this has been a long time coming!
I honestly have worked my tush off and nursing school is so incredibly hard! Seriously!
I have dark circles under my eyes that emphasize the bags that go with it, I have a twin (pimple) growing out of my chin, I would post a picture, but I don't want to scare anyone. And to top everything off I think I have an ulcer, its that or I have a massive underground, pirated acid factory in my gut working overtime!
The elation of getting my news was short lived when I had to go to school and take two more tests, talk about raining on my parade! Well, I wouldn't have it any other way, because it means that I am still in school and I am going to be celebrating passing my RN in September which to me is more important to me (at this point).
My poor husband and kids, they have been great and I hope that when this is all said and done, I will be able to pay them back ten-fold!
Thanks to all of my support-homies! I couldn't have gotten this far without my support group and you know who you are!
I love you guys!!!!!!!

Webelos

JC got his Webelos badge! What a cool dude!! Apparently he worked really hard on it says his scout leader, who has been so good to all of the boys. He only has one more "thing" to get his arrow of light

Here is the scout master counting out ALL of his awards. 6 in all counting his Webelos badge.

Ok, so he is a cute little (big) man, but how I hate being stuck in pictures!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Santa brought Ryan and I a Wii, it has to be that way to keep the peace amongst the demon children who cry,"mine! mine! my turn!!" he also brought me a Wii fit. Wow! Talk about some serious trash kicking! I love it though, I even love how it says, "ouch" when I stand on it and my Mii character is fat (not by my choice of course) but it is very entertaining and I am shocked and appalled that my husband is more balanced than I am!!! That will change!! I promise! Let the competition begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Santa brought Shayla a pink Ipod and an Ipod speaker-thing-a-majigger. She has wanted one for a long time. She also got clothes, body sprays, shoes and too much more!

Jc got an Ipod also, except his is blue! He also got some tech decks, clothes, Knex (because he loves to build) basketball shoes and lots of candy

Good morning sleepy heads! Ryan got an Ipod as well, but his is a shuffle and he is so excited about it. He also got some big tonka trucks, teck decks, skateboards and much, much more!

Oh Shayla! She just loves to sleep in. Amazingly enough there has never been a year where our children have gotten up before us. I keep waiting for the day where it starts at 5 in the morning and we keep telling them to go back to bed, but so far we have to wake them up and it is usually around 8!!!!!
