Another test passed!

Two tests down, a gazillion to go. Each quarter we have to take a calculations test to make sure we can still safely pass drugs since doctors don't usually write, give two aspirin and call in the morning. There is lots involved, and I'll spare ya. So that was Monday at 8 and I passed that.

Then today was our lab skills check off. You choose between 5 possible scenarios of all things learned last year and have to perform it and answer various questions for the instructor. I passed that as well! I have to go back in a few minutes to start learning about IV therapies. Theory today, and then in 2 weeks I get to start learning how to insert IV's. Wee! The down side is we practice on each other. :-/ :faintthud: If you know me at all, you know I don't like needles. Crud, I went through natural childbirth away from a hospital to avoid the stupid things. Well, there was more to it than that, point is, I don't like needles. Now I get to be a pin cushion for a class mate. Oye. Hopefully I come out of it alive. ;)

Wee!!!

Chickens are really starting to lay eggs now. Its funny, I have different sizes and different browns in my carton now. I found two in that tall grass under my kitchen window this morning. ONe was still warm. I think it was one of the hatched here at home babies. Or both, they are smaller than even Benny's, and two slightly different colors. Then the adopted chicken is laying nice big dark brown eggs. Then day before yesterday I sent Iden out to get them cause I needed them for dinner, and he brought in two, and then said there was a jiggly one that he threw out. I went out and looked and of course the chickens were devouring it. I think it was just a shell-less egg. So perhaps its just another chicken starting to lay. It looked like it was a fairly large one. But exciting! The boys have been painting on the back of the coop, and hopefully we'll get it moved into place in the next day or two and finish it up. It froze night before last, so I really need to get it done.

And I've ordered a couple of cleaning fairies. They should be here on October 3rd. So perhaps I will have a nice clean house by the 5th after they properly orient themselves???

Cleaning Fairies!!!

Favorite addiction

Its mindless, but its really quite fun!!! I have decided to start posting some of the cooler hits that I receive on my bills. I don't have a minute to do it right now, but go check out the site!!


Where's George

I'm a nurse!

I passed!! Woohoo!!!!!!! Thanks for all the prayers and support! Too bad I'm not done...... LOL

Test day!

Has come and gone. I should find out my results in the morning. They make you wait 48 hours. Uhg. The test itself was only about 1 hour long and I finished in 85 questions. It could have gone over 200 if they weren't sure I knew....or weren't sure I didnt' know my stuff. I am hoping I knew it. ;)

Couple o' pics.....

(I started this post last week.......its taken this long to remember to come back to it and finish uploading pics)

My mom made some quilts for her great neices and nephews and took pics of the boys infront of them (all sporting their new hair cuts)

Its quite comical getting a good pic of three and these are some of the cutest.





They are loveable goof balls.

And then our trip to Silver Mountain and Silverwood.

This is in Ritzville, made nearly entirely of horseshoes and chains. Iden wanted nothing to do with the idea of it all, so he stayed in the truck.







Our first stop was Silver Mountain in Kellog ID. It has an indoor water park that comes with your hotel room. It was great fun, although Iden was limited by what he was allowed....strangley enough not until about 4 hours after we'd been there though. Odd and inconsistent. But who cares, he had fun in the mean time. Two tube slides and one raft slide, and a huge play area for the kids with lots of water coming out all over. A flow rider , which Kainen is so "been there done that" with ours in town. And a great lazy river that was fun and fast moving. (pardon the old tatoos and missing teeth on various children. I asked them not to put anymore on....)

If I decide to hang out with youtube, I'll post some videos later.

The next day we were off to SilverWood Theme park and rain. Lots of rain. Because I was borrowing my moms camera, and there was rain, I kept the camera in mostly. Lets just say I was in denim capris, and was wet from the very beginning. We got in the park just after 11:30, and had dinner in the truck in the parking lot about 8. I was wet the whole time. Ah well, kids had fun right?

The first part is on the train, it was covered. LOL We passed by buffalo, teepees, and a cute show. I'll spare ya most of it. LOL You can see how cold it was after the train ride. Again, Iden was not interested in the photo op. The last pics are on the way outta the park. Boys had a blast on the roller coasters, and I think I still may have whiplash. LOL

And lastly, first day of school. Again, the silliness of getting even one good picture of three boys is lost on us all, so I tried to get a few.....melt them together in your head to get an idea of how cute they can be. ;) Kainen is in 3rd, Jantzen in 1st,and Iden is doing preschool.

'bout time!

So I finally got my ATT and I go in Tuesday the 9th! It will take at least 2 days after that to get my unoffical results, so I will post the news. So far I've heard everyone is passing. Phew!

My mom is in Oz so thats why I have the weather sticker up. So I can see what kinda nice summer she's coming into as we are forced out rather quickly.
