Emma is now on week two of school and she hasn't even gone. She had strep throat last week and Friday she got stung by a red wasp. I was in the emergency room all night last night. Honestly. From 7pm till 3am. Her whole Left arm from the shoulder to her finger tips were swelled to the point that it looked like it would burst. She didn't have a pulse in it and her fingers from the knuckles down here yellow then white. There was no Oxygen getting to them and they had gone numb. I know it had been 48hrs since she was stung but in a matter of Dana leaving with the kids to go home, swelled that big. Sure she was swelled some but nothing like it was. Anyways, she has cellulitous. They gave her a shot of Steroids and Benadryil, and took blood for cultures and white blood cell count. Within 5 minutes her hand had decreased in size enough for her to start getting blood in the tips of her fingers but the Doctor wanted to make sure that he could get a pulse and things before he'd let us leave. He almost kept her and did surgery. Thank GOD he didn't have to do that. I was sooooo worried. But he sent her home on steroids and benadryil and an antibiotic for the infection. He doesn't want her to go to school until Thursday...only if all the swelling is gone. My child could have lost her arm last night!!!

The school called today and was like, "You said she'd be back by friday! And its Monday, why isn't she here? I have to report you to the school board and social services over this." I was so pissed. I explained everything to her and told her that it wasn't my fault or Emma's. She can't help that she got sick, any more than she can help that she got stung! The principal was like, "Well she isn't enrolled in our system because she didn't come the first day." And I said, "Then you have no business reporting me to the school board and social services if she isn't even enrolled. And besides that I have Doctor excuses for every day that she has missed. I feel terrible that she hasn't been able to come but my hands are tied. She was contagious and wouldn't have been allowed in the school. And I'm telling you I don't run to the ER over anything. The child just about had to have surgery last night on her arm. There isn't anything I can do to get her back in school any faster. And I'll try to send her Wednesday even though the ER Doctor told me absolutely not, because she could get a secondary infection because its really easy where her arm had no circulation and she has open sores from were it's draining and was stung." She then had the gull to say, "Well when you do finally bring her in, make sure you ask for me." GRRRRRrrr I hate this new fucking school. It's the same school system but a new school. She moved to the upper since she's in 2nd grade.

Well it's time for more medicine and I need a chill pill so I'll write more later. Oh and I'm on book 22 of 50. I might make it this year. Hahaha.

I may speak parseltongue [Jul. 15th, 2009|08:34 pm]
Funny story!!!

So today, after I stained most of the deck...I was going out the backdoor to get some McDonalds because I was too tired to cook. Mom was following behind me. She goes back in the house to get dad a beer because he was still staining on the lattice (i think that's how it's spelled and I'm too lazy to look it up...)When I feel something moving by-past my foot. Mom shuts the back door, then I look down and there is a snake. I don't move. The snake turns it's head, looks at me and sticks it's tongue out and cocks it's head sideways and then decides to go on it's way. I scream....Jesus effing Mary of Christ! Mom yells HEY THAT'S ENOUGH OF THAT. I take off towards the deck and breath to my dad, "Snake with diamonds." He grabs a shovel that is by the deck! Thank god I didn't put it up earlier!!! And goes over to the flower bed to chase it out. I told him to wait, until I get out the gate. I'm behind him and the damn things comes back out towards me again. Dad is laughing. I'm about to piss my pants and the snake sticks it's tongue out at me again, also cocking it's head like it's being sassy with me again!! and goes on it's way out of the yard. Dad didn't kill it, because he was too busy laughing at how it kept tormenting me. It was like it liked me and just wanted to give me hell. Yeah, I'm not going outback again for a while.

Snakes in a cage is one thing! Snake slithering beside my bare feet is another. At least it wasn't like at the Gardens at the beach and it went on my foot. I had enough sense not to yell when it could have turn and bitten me! They sense motion. I couldn't tell if it was poisonous or not. I didn't get a chance to look at it's tail properly. I was more concerned by it's mouth, tongue and sassy cocking head. LMAO. It was funny...now. Not then but now. Guh!!! Maybe I should have tried talking to it in parseltongue, considering it acted like it knew me. That was mom's suggestion once we got in the van. Ha ha ha.

Your result for Roleplayer Test!...

The Biographer

Plotful, Character-Oriented, Platonic

Like the Portraitist, the development of your character is the most important thing to you when you roleplay. However, you like your development and relationships to have some kind of overarching plot: you're not the type to enjoy a dressing room or any kind of roleplay where your character can't grow in at least a semi-structured manner. You enjoy exploring your character's psyche, but simple exploration isn't enough: you like to discover and then implement and use, and therefore continuity (which gives you "why"s and "how"s) is very important to you. You struggle when your character has no solid base in which to put down its roots, such as in games where there isn't enough structure or ones where the plot is continually changing.

So I'm planning a trip to Europe next year. Me and Angie are going over there next summer. I'm so excited about it. It will be awesome.

I'm taking an AcLS class here soon. I'm gonna take it with Stephanie at work. It's like a really big deal and most of the time, you have to be a nurse for a while before you can take it. But seeing as how they want me to do charge nurse on nights, I'm going to take it, and do charge. It's a pay increase and a lot more stress. If someone goes into cardiac arrest I'm going to be the one pushing the drugs. Hence why I need the ACLS class. It's scary but I'm gonna try. I might fail but I can do it. Plus being a charge nurse, you get extra money on the hour. YAY

Okay, I'm going to facebook where all my peeps actually talk to me.

So today I decided to update my book list and since it's been so long since I have updated it, I can't remember what all I've read. :( I'm really sad about it. I know there are like four other books that I've read and for the life of me I can't think of them. I know that there were two after Nicholas Sparks. That is really sad, that I can't remember them. I am blaming that on working at KDMC. It's zapping my brain.

I read A great and Terrible Beauty and Rebel Angles. I loved them both. I'm on book three right now and I just can't make myself pick it up. I'm afraid of what is going to happen in the book and if it turns out the way that I think it will, I'm going to be pissed as hell. Also I don't want to finish it because I hate that it is the last book in the trilogy.

I got floated to another floor Saturday night. I was pissed as hell about it. I'm still pissed over it. I'm not supposed to be floated until I have my 90 days in. The 90 days are in on the 30th but still. It's not right or fair. They floor that I floated to had some nice people working but it still shouldn't have been. They were pissed about it too. But oh well, there isn't any use gripping over it now. It's over and done with. At least I won't be floated for a while.

I like nights and I hate nights all at the same time. It's hard to describe. Oh well....I just got out of the pool. Alexis and Andrew are staying the week with me. Emma is very excited that she has someone to play with. Okay, I'm off to the grocery store. We are like out of everything. I don't know how that is possible. PS I want PHOTOSHOP BACK!!!!

My views on the possible Pandemic....from the recent WHO drug plan. [May. 19th, 2009|12:06 pm]
WHO chief: Drug firms OK plan for vaccine to poor

GENEVA – The head of the World Health Organization says major drug companies have agreed on a plan to give poor countries access to a swine flu vaccine and antiviral medications if a worldwide outbreak is declared.

Dr. Margaret Chan says she appealed for help as she met with drug companies and vaccine makers on Tuesday.

Chan says some companies have pledged vaccine donations to poor countries while others say they will reserve some production for poor countries.

She says the firms also agreed to variable pricing, so that poorer countries would pay less for the drugs.

Hundreds of health experts are in Geneva for WHO's annual meeting this week, which is being dominated by the issue of swine flu.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.....
Read the full article here...

When I read that, I thought I was going to bust. What about the middle class people here in America who are struggling just to keep food in their homes. It isn't just the poor that we should be worrying about right now. Especially when our economy is so bad right now. I don't know how much the vaccine is going to coast, but Drug companies are notorious for jacking up the coast, because they know consumers freak out and they can get top dollar for it. That is why we need regulations put on drug medicine coasts. And if this turns out to be anything like the Spanish influenza in 1918, it's going to be devastating world wide. (That's what everyone is thinking)

And later in the article they are talking about how they won't be able to manufacture the seasonal flu vaccine as abundant as they normally do. That is freaking scary...."Mass producing a pandemic vaccine would be a gamble, as it would take away manufacturing capacity for the seasonal flu vaccine that kills up to 500,000 people each year. Some experts have wondered whether the world really needs a vaccine for an illness that so far appears mild. "

Mild? Mild? Are you kidding me. The only reason that that number is that low is because of the vaccine. The number would be double/triple/quadruple if we didn't have that vaccine. Why can't they hire more people and increase the production on both? And further more. People aren't what produce the vaccine, it's done by a machine that inoculates, an egg and it grows the vaccine. (The machine puts a needle carrying a drop of the live virus in an egg and they put it in a warming machine and let it harvest for three months/four months.) That is why sometimes they have spoiled batches of vaccines and there is a shortage. It's the only known method of getting the vaccine and there is always that chance of a batch going bad.

As a health care worker, I know that I will be able to get my vaccine for free and as for my child, she will too. But I'm not worrying for myself. I'm worrying about my friends, my family and the rest of the hard working America. They might not get that same option...only because they are the working class and can't get a break.

It's not that I'm against helping the poor. Anyone who knows me, knows that I would be right there doing the humanitarian/missionary work vaccinating the poor and the third world countries. I plan to do it sometime before I die, because I want to help. Hell up until a month ago, I was a poor, welfare mother. But right now they have the whole World Health Organization (WHO) fighting for them. They middle class doesn't have anyone who is saying anything about working class. Or trying to make sure they get covered.

And if you look back at the pandemic's of the past, it is the poor who suffered first and then spread it to the middle class. The middle class is the ones that boasted the death toll. They are 5 times the amount of people that the poor is. So I can see that they want to try and stop the poor from spreading it. But that was more in the Black plague era....The spanish influenza was most devastating in the Middle class and the death Toll was unreal. They spread it to the poor and wealthy.

Then you have to look at the twenty somethings that don't really fall into either category. They are neither poor nor working class. They are the college students, newly married couples that don't have health care and are trying to make it in these hard times. I have many friends that fall into this category. Who is trying to keep them alive and survive this pandemic that will/could/might me catastrophic?

Okay so I may have blown this all up and been a little on a rant for nothing but damn-it. It pisses me off. It's not right. It's not fair. And someone should be out there yelling about it. And I ask if you don't agree with me, not to go off on me. It's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. We can argue it if you like, but only in a civilized manner. That's all I ask, is for people to be civil with me when debating. :)

[edit:]
I know that there are typo's and misspelled words and I'll try to get that fixed later. But right now, I've got to go get ready for a funeral. Just over look them. I was more worried about venting and getting everything off of my chest.

Day 4 [Apr. 2nd, 2009|05:25 am]
So today is day four of my orientation week. Yep, I'm pretty tired. And my back is killing me. And you want to know how I hurt it? Sitting in front of a computer. LOL I twisted the wrong way to get a book.

So day 2 was amazing. I really enjoyed it. It was tiresome and all that, but it was everything that I wanted to know in nursing school that they never told me. And our team leader was really nice and listened and talked with us just as much as she taught us. It made for a good day.

Yesterday was day three and I sat in front of a computer for 9 hours. Let me say that again. I sat there for nine hours and learned hour to do this computer program. Or well tried to learn it. It's like trying to learn Dos commands. LOL In other words, you only get about half of what they teach you. And hope to god that when you get on the floor you have a great preceptor who will show it all to you again.

And today is straight up computers again. It's different stuff from yesterday. But I went to bed early last night so that I can be awake for it today and get everything. Fun Fun. But I'm ony there for five hours.

I'm off Friday! Yay

I work 7am to 7pm Saturday on the FLOOR!!!

Off Sunday! YAY

Work Monday 7am to 7pm. That sucks because it's Emma's birthday.

off Tuesday.

Work Wed and Thurs. 7am to 7pm

Off again until Monday 7am to 7pm

Off Tues. 7am to 7pm

Work Wed and Thurs 7am to 7pm.

I'm taking my state boards next Thursday! February 26th at 7:30am. I am so excited about it. I can't wait until I take it and get that over with. Now I just hope that I pass. That's the big question. I think I will. No one from my class has failed yet. There is at least five us still to take it. Maybe more. I think a few are going this week. But I'm sure they are going to pass. Then it will leave the five.

Okay so now, I have to go pick Emma up from school. She has a dentist appointment today. It's just for her 6 month cleaning but it's important just the same. I hate going and picking her up from school at this time. It's a mess to try to get her. I really think they need a better system at the end of the day. But it's not as if I am going to change anything that has been going on for twenty some years.

Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...

Simple, Progressive, and Sensual


Ukiyo-e (浮世絵, Ukiyo-e), "pictures of the floating world", is a genre of Japaneseand paintings produced between the 17th and the 20th centuries. it mostly featured landscapes, historic tales, theatre, and pleasure. Ukiyo is a rather impetuous urban culture that has bloomed in popularity. Although the Japanese were more strict and had many prohibitions it did not affect the rising merchant class and therefore became a floating art form that did not bind itself to the normal ideals of society.


People that chose Ukiyo-e art tend to be more simplistic yet elegant. They don't care much about new style but are comfortable in creating their own. They like the idea of living for the moment and enjoy giving and receiving pleasure. They may be more agreeable than other people and do not like to argue. They do not mind following traditions but are not afraid to move forward to experience other ideas in life. They tend to enjoy nature and the outdoors. They do not mind being more adventurous in their sexual experiences. They enjoy being popular and like being noticed. They have their own unique style of dress and of presenting themselves. They may also tend to be more business oriented or at the very least interested in money making adventures. They might make good entrepreneurs. They are progressive and adaptable.

More useless information to be stored away in my brain.

I absolutely love to learn things that I'll never need or use any where other than in random thought type situations. And today I learn the cream of the crop. Do you really know what all the childhood nursery rhymes are about? I didn't. Sure I knew about ring around the rosy and some of them. But I had no idea how many of them were pertaining to the Tudor era. Seriously. I didn't know that Old Mother Hubbard was about Queen Katherine of Aragon and the divorce that King Henry wanted and the politics of the Cardinal. OR that the silver bells and cockleshells were torture devices that Bloody Mary used. The silver bells were thumb screws and the cockleshells were placed on the genitalia. Nor did I know that 3 blind mice was about Bloody Mary either. She didn't dismember them, she had the three noblemen burned at the stake!!! Nor did I know that Little Boy blue was about Cardinal Thomas Wolsey. Again Tudor era. Pussycat Pussy cat where have you been is again from the Tudor Era when Queen Elizabeth the 1st had this cat that scared her. And London Bridge is broken down is about Henry and Anne Boleyn. Seriously, I need to stop looking at this stuff. It's really interesting though. I can't wait to tell Libby about it. If you are interested in reading this stuff, I suggest that you go here (link) and read what each story is about. I think I'll look up more about it later tonight after I study.

[edit]
I have 349 pages to read, understand, and be able to test on by Tuesday @6pm. I don't think it's possible, so everyone say a little prayer for me. XD Marlayna was right that I should just go over the powerpoints and say fuck all to the reading, but I just can't. I can't afford to fail my next test. So I think I'm about to go on a no sleep binge.

My head is busting. I hate when the weather changes and my allergies goes haywire. I'm really thinking about going and buying my some different medicine. I think that since the kids left, that might help. I love my nieces and nephews, but three days of five kids absolutely drives me insane. I can't handle it.

I get my first test back tomorrow. I'm hoping that I passed it. It sucks because you never know what you are going to get on a nursing school test. I really don't think I passed it but that doesn't mean anything either. You can feel that way and get an A on it. It is all guess work. I'm sure that makes everyone feel good to hear but it's the truth. There is always two correct answers and one is better than the other, in the instructors eyes. But that doesn't mean what you would do that in a real life situation. It just blows.

Oh well I'm going to straighten my hair. I can't handle it curly. I have an afro. My mom said I looked like Bob Ross. lol
