This week: Never have a party in Fairview

Detailed blog post to come. Too tired and I'm ready to go to bed.

Flashback Friday

How I long the days of this:

Now all I get is this:

Never mix a drunk parent with your friends

I've only been mortified once by my mother and I pray it is the last time.

I was about 18 or 19 and I decided to have a few friends over while my mom went to a baseball game.
We were all hanging out in the living room when I noticed seeing some car headlights pull into the driveway.

I went to the door and I saw my mom had driven home completely smashed from her boyfriend's house after the game. Thank god he lived 2 streets down and nothing horrible happened!

I grabbed her and started pulling her into the house because her and her boyfriend were acting like idiots.
She went into the house and saw my friends were all sitting in the living room watching TV and eating pizza.
Well she decided she wanted to sit down and eat, so she sat down next to my friend Tim and started eating.

My friends were asking her who won the game when she looked at Tim and started telling him all about the game. She then decided she wanted to lay on him...like a lap dog while trying to grab his butt.

I.was.completely.mortified.
Completely.

Tim just sat there laughing and playing along with my mom while I'm trying to get her into bed.
I've never seen my mom smashed like that and I hope I never have to see her like that again!

Tim was nice enough to help me get into her bed while I was apologizing over and over and over.
That was when my mom decided to come back out of her room and go up to Tim and said that she loved him and hoped to see him again.
I just sat there staring at the wall...

The next morning she didn't remember anything and I had to explain to her what she did.
As for my friends and Tim...they thought it was hilarious and whenever Tim came over, he'd flirt with my mom.
Ew.

My mom never came home after she drank ever again for the fear that I'd have friends over and she'd make herself look like a huge ass.
Lmao.

Tuesday's Randomness [In bullets!!]

So it's been a crazy couple of weeks.
I've found it more hard to blog regularly due to the fact that I'm so tired after work, and I still don't have my own computer hooked up yet.
I'm lucky that Hubs and BIL got a new game to play so I could get online to pay some bills and get on Facebook, Myspace, Blogger, etc....

So here's my week in bullets...coz everyone loves bulleted lists!

• It is officially winter. I wake up every morning to negative degrees. 
• I really need to get auto start for my truck. It sucks going outside when it's negative 9 outside to walk down 2 flights of stairs, walk across the parking lot to start my truck, then trudge back upstairs and get ready for work.
• Still waiting for Hubs to get a J-O-B!!! It's been forever!! He's driving me nuts.
• It's crazy working at a hospital. It's more crazy to see how many stupid people there are that do stupid things to get in the hospital. There's alcoholism and lots of drug abuse that have been running through our ICU. It's insane!
• I got an email from my crazy Grampa. He has prostate cancer. I'm devastated by the news, but he seems chipper. He's not at all worried which is my typical crazy Grampa. He's currently waiting on the results from a biopsy taken last week...I swear, the docs are running as fast as a snail. I told him if it's bad, he MUST move to Alaska from Ohio so I can take care of him and so he can come to the hospital I work at so I can make sure he's doing everything he should. He's a stubborn old man.
• There was a death in my Hubs' family. His great uncle Ben died last Saturday from fighting pneumonia for a long time. It was expected, but it came as a blow to a lot of people. It was really sad when my husband and I had to run over to his other great uncle's house and tell him that his brother had died. I guess he didn't know how sick he really was. So on Saturday, we took Uncle John to my Hub's grandma's house and we ate a big dinner and remembered all the good times they had with Ben. Everyone cried together and then I made everyone laugh LoL. I hate seeing people cry and I feel like I have to lighten the mood by doing or saying something funny. It worked for them all and made them feel better so I'm glad I could do my part!

Aren't I full of lots of depressing things??

• Thanksgiving is coming up and I don't know if I want to cook or go to family's house and eat all their stuff then leave. The last thing sounds so much better Haha. I can't believe it's almost December. Just a few weeks ago I was saying Happy September dammit!
• I think I may have to work on Thanksgiving because I'm usually scheduled on Thursdays, but I don't mind IF I have to...it's holiday pay yo!
• December 5th marks Hubs and my 1 year anniversary. Due to some crappy circumstances, we WON'T be able to do anything, but thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions. Maybe we can celebrate late....after Christmas or whenever Hubs gets a job. Better late than never, I always say.

So that's about it for my week.
I'm trying so desperately to get on Blogger more.
I miss all my peeps!
(Yeah, I'm a little hyper and sounding really retarded...I know)

So what's everyone up to this week and for the holidays?

Back on the horse

I know I haven't talked about this much lately, but I think I'm ready.

Hubs and I are seriously trying to have another baby after losing Katelynn in October last year.
We've been trying for a few months now, but haven't been serious about it.

I was diagnosed with PCOS and thought I would never get pregnant until last April when I found out I was.
After almost a year of trying, I've become very frustrated.

I saw a doctor after my miscarriage and she put me on Metformin to help regulate my hormones so I could possibly get pregnant in the future when I was ready, but I couldn't take it longer than a month. It made me so sick!
I was pukey, had huge migraines, bowel movements were horrible, and I wished for death every day while taking Metformin.
I finally stopped taking it. I just couldn't handle it anymore.

I even got more active to try and balance out my hormones....still no luck.

After talking to a few people and doing LOTS of research, I've decided to take a more natural path because I physically cannot do Metformin. Doctor said if I can't do Metformin, I'm going to feel worse on Clomid or any other fertility drug.

My brother-in-law's fiance is also suffering from PCOS and hasn't been able to conceive so she's going the natural way too. She's the one that mentioned we try this pill, so we went to the Natural Pantry store in Anchorage and bought a bottle for each of us. I'm glad I have someone to go through this with!
We've been taking the pill for 3 days now.
I don't feel any different, but it does say it takes 3 months to kick in and such.

Now I know the natural/herb route is a pretty much hit or miss, but we're willing to try anything. I just don't want to ever feel like I did again while taking Metformin.

So wish me luck!
I'm popping my pill and heading to bed.

Happy Tuesday!

In need of help

December 5, 2009 is my 1 year anniversary being married to Aaron.

We've been through a lot together in the 3 years that we've been together and the year that we've been married.

We've suffered a miscarriage, job losses, struggles with finances while he was in school, troubles becoming pregnant again, and many other things.

Looking back, I've never thought I'd be married, let alone married for a year!

I've never been good at opening up and letting anyone in, or any good at showing affection LoL.

So for our anniversary, I'd really like to do something romantic and fun.
My problem is that I have no idea what to do!
We don't have a lot of money, but I want to do something fun and something where we can spend some much needed time (without arguing!) together.

Any suggestions???
I really need help!

Random things [with pictures]

There's so much randomness that I'm going to bullet everything.
Coz everyone loves bullets!!

• It's been so crazy since I moved. I absolutely love living with Justin and Carrie because there's no bitching, no drunk mother-in-law, and I can sit and veg out after a hard day of work without anyone bitching at me.
• Work has got me so tired! I started working my four days, 10 hour shifts and I like the 3 days off work. Gives me lots of time to recuperate from the body aches.
• I think I found a job I really enjoy. It's different and busy, although there's quite a few people I don't like because of their attitudes, but that goes with any job. It's really hard though. Today I was holding a patient that took her last breath. Intensive Care Unit is my least favorite place to go, but the nurses rock.
• So many of you long time followers know that my mother-in-law has a drinking problem and she likes to take it out on anyone who is near. Something happened last Sunday, which I might blog about another day. She still has not called and apologized to me. I will not be going over for Sunday dinner until she does.
• I'm finding it harder to keep up with regular shows that I used to watch. I may have to say goodbye to some of them.
• I hate that I'm gaining muscles while losing weight. I was losing weight consistently, then I started getting muscles. I just want to lose the weight first dammit!
• I'm really starting to hate my Blackberry. It's not doing what I want it to do! Seriously thinking about dropping my service provider once hubby starts working and going with someone else.
• One more month and it's Hubs and my 1 year anniversary. Craziness. I have no idea what we should do.
  

Now here's some pictures!!

I'm really getting depressed with losing daylight. We're down to 8 hours a day! I miss my 22 hours of daylight.

I was on the 5th floor at work and was so depressed when I looked out the window at almost 4:30pm. This is what I saw....

The street lights are coming on and the sun is gone. At 4:30pm!!!

It's not fair!

Snow has not graced our presence in Anchorage yet and I'm happy! I'd love to go the whole winter with negative 20 degrees and no snow. That's my perfect winter. I hate driving in the frozen stuff.

But the mountains are beautiful.

Crappy phone pic

Another thing I hate about winter is the moose. Don't get me wrong...I love them to death, but I hate that they come around in town and don't look both ways before crossing streets and stuff. I've almost hit them so many times!!

This is a picture of 2 moose in our parking lot at work. It was hilarious because you see people walking out of the hospital and into the parking lot, only to notice them a little too late and start running!

 

Well that's all I have for now.

I'm going to go to bed and enjoy my 3 day weekend.

Oh yeah!!

I'm still alive

Just super tired.
Awesome updates tomorrow.
Promise

Pumpkin carving contest

Halloween is the best holiday ever!

At work yesterday there was a pumpkin carving contest.
I didn't hear about it or I would have participated, but I'm glad I didn't because there were some AWESOME pumpkins.

Here are my favs....

Pumpkin Pie

This one was pretty funny. The guys in the O.R. dept put this one together.

 

And if you look on the IV pole next to it, they had some interesting drugs...

 

 

This one was so creative.

Cauliflower for brains, an apple for a heart, eggplant for lungs. Too funny.

And this is my absolute favorite...

OCTO-MOM!!

The chicks in Recovery Unit are so creative!

 

How freakin' cute is that????

This post brought to you by Cate over at ShowMyFace.com so be sure to check her out and see what everyone else is saying in 6 words!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Well sorta.
I've hijacked my hubby's computer for the time being because I need to get a wireless card for mine. Boo.

So not much has happened.
I really like my job still. It keeps me super busy at work and I like that.
My body is still getting used to all the physical work, but I've lost 15 lbs in 3 weeks from it!!
Go me!


We moved in with my brother-in-law and his girlfriend to help save money for all of us. We're going to live together for 8 months, so it'll give us time to save some moolah.
I really like it here.
It's so much more peaceful then being near my mother-in-law. Most of you know the troubles I've had with her!
So I promise I'll get to commenting all of your lovely blogs. I've missed so much in the week or two that I've been gone!

Hope everyone has a great weekend and a safe Halloween. I wanna see pictures of costumes!!!!!!!

Six Word Saturday [Edition 12]

It's another Saturday so head on over to Cate's at Show My Face and check out what everyone else is sayin'.

This week:

My body is so freakin' sore!

I absolutely love my new job, but my body is so freaking sore. Being out of shape doesn't help the matters, but I'll be getting into shape soon with the way that I'm working!!

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend.

I know I am =]

Going to be a little MIA

...because I'm moving!
This opportunity came at us pretty quick and we packed all of our stuff and we're going to be moving today and this weekend.

I'll be without my computer for the weekend so I'll still be reading...just can't comment on my stupid BlackBerry.

You can still catch me on Twitter.

Don't miss me too much blogarinos!
I'll be back...I promise =]

Woke up brand new

Thank you all for the great comments and the hugs.
You know how to make a girl feel special ;]

I woke up this morning feeling so much better.
I got to be all depressed and mourn Katelynn in my own way and got drunk and talked everything out with my sis-in-law, Carrie.

Hubs didn't want to talk about it, but I know he was grieving in his own way.

It just sucks because we've been trying to get pregnant for almost a year again. It gets so frustrating when I hear other people are pregnant, but I'm happy for them.
I know my time will come. I just wish it was a little easier! LoL

Well I'm off to work.
I promise I'll update more this week!
My body is still getting used to being so physical at work. It's literally kicking my ass. I've been so tired once I get off work.

Happy Monday blogarinos!
Hope everyone has a good one.

Weekly Praise and Prayer [Edition 19]

Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.

Psalms 34:13 (NIV)

This week I want to focus on some prayers. These ladies really need them.
Breast cancer hits home with me because I watched my mother go through treatments and beat it at the age of 35.
She was so strong and never let anything slow her down. She was a single mother of 4 kids and worked all through the treatments.

I have 2 very close ladies to me that recently found lumps in their breasts and went to the doctors.
Please pray for them.
They need all they can get.

The other lady has been in ICU for quite awhile after getting 6 inches of her colon removed due to a massive infection. She's still fighting the infection.

Prayers

Aunt Jessica [Docs found a lump in her breast. They're doing some tests to see if it's benign]

Shannon [Docs found a lump in her breast]

Ellie [Still in ICU from her emergency surgery]

Hope everyone had a great weekend and has a blessed and fantastic week ahead!
As always, if you need any prayers, feel free to contact me.

This week:

This week has been really hard.

With the year mark of Katelynn's passing, it's just been a really hard week for me. Nothing seemed to go right and my mind was just frazzled.

And another:

Hope I have a better week.

Happy Six Word Saturday!
