The Rest Of The Story...

Remember that game that was played as a child where you sat in a circle and whispered in the person sitting next to you something and they would whisper to the next and so on. By the time the last person got the ear whisper they would shout out what was said and when they did it was not even close to what you said? Well life is like that sometimes. Someone will tell you something that they had heard and unless you got it from the horses mouth you aren't sure what they are saying is even true. That happens a lot around work. Now I try not to believe everything I hear and I really don't like gossip so I will say something like "This is what I heard"or "I didn't get this from the horses mouth". Sometimes you never hear the rest of the story or the true story and it makes you wonder if what you heard is really true. Well what I am getting at is a few months ago we had heard about this gal getting arrested for DUI and than again hearing she got another one. So I really felt bad about it and didn't want to jump to conclusions with not hearing from her what had happened. I hadn't seen her in a while and than one day I had seen her, but of course not knowing her that well I wasn't going to ask her, even if I did know her I am not sure I would have said anything. Well the other day I had to float to sit with this lady and she came in to draw some blood and was telling me that she had a pinched nerve and was in a lot of pain, but she didn't want to have to take anymore time off of work. Than she proceeded to tell me that she had just got over a drinking problem and that her husband of 29 years had ask for a divorce and that is when she started drinking, but now she is okay with it even though she said her and her husband have never been apart in all those years of marriage and that she has known nothing else since she was 25. I didn't know what to say so I just listened and she thank me for letting her vent and I told her I was sorry and that I hoped everything worked out! She said that she was getting used to living alone and she was trying to get her life back and that she felt good except for the pinched nerve. So there you have it sometimes even when you don't ask you get "The Rest Of The Story"!

Hot Hot Hot

We have been having some really hot summer days! It has been in the upper 90's. I really don't mind the hot weather it doesn't really bother me, but what I hate is the sweating. I would like to know who the person who said women don't sweat they glow? What are you kidding me there is no glowing when it comes to sweating! Women glow when they fall in love, get married, have their children, but trust me they do not glow when they are sweating! It is an ugly site! I hate it when the sweat is just pouring down my face it is an awful feeling. My husband even says that saying about women don't sweat they glow, I am yeah right! Sometimes I wonder why I even bother wearing make-up when it is just going to melt away off my face! I sit in front of the fan to put it on, but after going away from the fan and I start to sweat it is almost a lost cause! Even at work I am always hot even when in a cool place and it is sometimes embarassing to walk in a patients room with the sweat running down my face. Anyway I am here to say it is a crock of you know what that women "Glow" when sweating!

Denise thinks it looks clean and new okay what am I looking at?

Denise thinks believing in God is important hey finally something I can relate to!!

Work

I know that ugly four letter word! I have been a little stressed about work lately to say the least. I work at the hospital as a cna and even though I am full time sometimes I don't get full time. I work on the rehab unit and like every other unit in the hospital there are timew when there is to many staff and not enough patients. In times like that a few things can happen. 1) you get called off, 2) worst yet you get put on "stand-by", 3) the worst of all you get "FLOATED". This past week end my days to work on Saturday I got put on "stand-by" now what is bad about stand by is you can't leave to go do anything because you are on stand-by of which the hospital can call you at anytime to say you are needed to come in to work. So you sit by you phone hoping it doesn't ring, but at the same time you are so stressed out that it might ring and you are waiting up most of the night. On Saturday they never called. Sunday I was floated to surg/otho which I hate with a passion. The only good thing about floating down there is the time went by really fast. Monday night I was put on stand-by again and again was not called in. Well on Tuesday I was hoping for the call off, But NOOOOO I had to float AGAIN! Only this time it wasn't to bad because I only had to sit with one patient. Oh that is another thing 4) sitter! I sat with a sweet little lady who was confused and was just busy! She was very sweet but most of the time I couldn't understand what she was saying, but just agreed with her and we got along just fine! In rehab yesterday we had two patients, but tonight there will only be 1 patient and than that patient is leaving on Friday. So even though it is my days off I will be stressing about Saturday and what my fate will be. I am going to try not to stress about it and try to enjoy my days off and pray that we get some admits so we all can work on our little unit and not have to float or what ever. Maybe I will have to go and buy me some CHOCOLATE that always makes me feel better for a while anyway!!

Family and The Movies

It is not to often we as a family get to go to the movies together. It is usually my husband taking my son and daughter or if there is a movie he doesn't care to see he will say "Oh it is okay if you take them to that one". Oh I am so glad I got your permission!! Than I just laugh. No it is even a really rare occasion when my oldest son goes to a movie with us or one of us. I will start from last Friday.

I took son and daughter to see " My Sisters Keeper". I wanted to see this movie because I read the book and it was really good. Okay it is a tear jerker for sure! Or as my husband likes to say a chick flick! In the movie the ending was different than the book, but there was a spoiler on line so I knew it was going to end different. The Author was upset by the ending because she was trying to make people think with her ending in the book, but no matter how you look at it weather you read the book, saw the movie or both they both had sad endings. You are going to cry no mater what! I thought it was very well made and pretty much followed the book and even had some funny moments. So that was all good. Than my husband ask if I wanted to see "Ice Age" I said yes, but you can take them to see that one if you want to and I will find something else I am sure, He said no we all can go. We can? He has been working 6AM to 3PM everyday this week, So the big plan was to go see Ice Age on Tuesday, Plans were changed. My oldest son came over for a visit. Which is always a good thing because I always like when he stops by so I can get my fix!! He ask if I worked that night and I told him know that actually I was sick for two days and didn't go to work. Than he ask if I had seen the Transformer movie. (movie my husband took the kids to see) I told him no I hadn't seen it yet. He said there is a showing at 2:10, well it was like twenty minutes till and I hate to rush and beside since we were planning on going to the movie s anyway why not wait until my husband got off. I told my son this and he said that find next showing is at 3:45. He must have anticipate this! So plans were changed we all met at the movies and the whole family was there! It was an awesome movie as well! I even shed a few tears from watching this movie! Than we all went out to dinner after it was great to have everyone there at the same time. My son thanked me and I said hey no problem anything to spend time with you!

Next great plan was to go see Ice Age, well after spending so much money the day before I wasn't sure. I decided I really needed to take Wednesday to put the plants I bought into the ground, we could go on Thursday to see Ice Age, well that plan didn't work either because my daughter got sick and was vomiting all night. She is doing much better though.

Next plan is I think we will go see Ice Age on Friday and hope that nothing comes up otherwise!
