Today is the Day

So, I have managed to get nothing done the last two weeks. The boys have been sick again. I took them in On Tues for colds, the same ones they have had since September, and the Dr. is thinking that they are allergic to something at the daycare which has compromised their immune system to the point that they can’t fight off all the other germs on top of trying to fight the allergy. Fun. So this afternoon I have to take them back to the dr and get the test thing so I can take them to Children’s Hospital for blood work to check for allergies, anemia, and an antibody count.

Yesterday I met with my field instructor at Southeast. I like him, he’s a cool/funny guy and can find humor in some really depressing situations. He says to succeed at this job you need to have outside interests and to be able to leave everthing that happens there at the door when you leave as well as the ability to laugh at situations. He also said that since I am so green I will have a lot of challenges, especially since he is throwing me in head first and seeing if I can swim. I told him I will be doing the back float and hoping for the best. The good news is I get an awesome swipey card and a parking code!

Other than that, not much really. Andrew comes home today so as soon as I post this I am going to be cleaning like crazy. I have until 2 to clean the house, and trust me every inch is dirty! I haven’t really had a chance to clean. I got some stuff clean last Friday, but then over the weekend the kids undid it all, then Monday and Tues I had finals plus taking the kids in, Weds I went Christmas shopping with Jill all day and then Thursday I met with my field instructor. Shit this has been a long week! I was thinking that all I did this week took two weeks – dang!

Christmas shopping was a success. I got the boys some jammies, a table with a train set, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for Landen and a Barn Yard activity set for Aiden. I just have to get some stocking stuffers and I am set! Oh and figure something out for Andrew…. I got me new clothes! I need decent sweaters for my internship and I got new pants since I dropped from an 18 or 20ish to a 16. I am very excited! I only bought a couple pairs because I am still planning to loose more. Also, my wedding ring almost fits again.

So, I guess that’s really it. Andew will be home sometime tonight and the kids will yell with excitment to see him, then ignore him lol. Poor guy! Anyway, I seriously need to clean!! Hope you all have a great weekend!
