There hasn't been too much going on lately. Last weekend I didnt do a whole lot. Friday night Patti had a jewelry party. I got a pearl necklace and bracelet. Saturday I went to the gym, out to lunch, to my sisters basketball game, and then out with Ryan for the night. We went to California Dreaming for dinner and then to see Match Point (totally psycho movie BTW!). Sunday morning Ryan woke up throwing up. Eventually it was coming out of both ends.... poor guy. So he was in bed all day long. Well except for when he was in the bathroom.... lol I was thinking he might have food poisoning. Monday morning he still felt like crap but was going to try to go to work. Well he passed out in the shower so I put an end to that. He stayed in bed for most of the day and then went to the Dr. The Dr said he was very dehydrated (which is why I sent him in the first place) so they gave him and IV and made him sit there for a few hours while they gave him 3 bags of fluids. The Dr said he thought it was the stomach flu, not food poisoning. He gave him some anti nausea medicine and sent him on his way. He is feeling better now, Thank God! But I'm still not too sure that it was the stomach flu. I mean, I slept in the same bed the whole time and never got sick. The kids never did either. But who knows....

I dont have to work at the hospital this week. YAY! I'm at Joan Glancy this semester. That place is sooooooo small. It doesnt even look like a hospital, no joke! I'm off this week but then I go the next 2 weeks. But I have a test Tuesday so I'm glad I dont have to go this week.

Super Bowl is Sunday. I am excited! I don't really know who I want to win. I kinda like the Seahawks b/c they are the underdogs. Ryan is going for Pittsburgh though since he has family up there. I just want to see a good game.

Anyways, I gotta go get ready for class..... later!

Well it's been a while. I have started back to class and it's worse than ever. I swear it gets harder every semester. It's really just ridiculous.... This semester we have 3 times as much reading to do every night and twice as many drugs. Plus we are in the hospital twice as much. I am only 2 weeks into it and I feel like my head is going to explode.

I have decided I am going to try 3rd semester (OB/Peds and Psych) over the summer. Crazy, I know. But I feel like I have this obligation to finish up so Ryan can go back to school. He has been so patient while I have been going. I just feel bad I guess....  I figure worse comes to worse, I can just drop OB/Peds (the bigger class, it is 10 credit hrs, Psych is 4) or Psych if I am doing worse in that one if I feel like I cant take the load. Then I will just take the other one in the fall (when I would have taken it anyways) and then finish in the spring. I would love to be able to do the entire 3rd semester over the summer and graduate in December though. More so for Ryan than for myself. I know how bad his job stresses him out and how bad he wants to finish school. Being in school for an extra 6 months for me isnt a big deal but I think it is for him. So I am going to try. It's the wife thing to do. LOL

Other than school, life is good. Ryan and I are happier than we have ever been. The kids are great. Everyone is healthy. Things are going well. Now if only I didnt have this immense stress over me b/c of school.... I would be great!

Oh yeah.... and recently, I have been feeling like I want another baby..... Ryan thinks I'm crazy.

Today is my last day of freedom before classes start up again. I am really dreading going back. I just want to be done with school! But I'm only getting closer to the end. Hopefully I will be graduating in December!

This weekend was mainly spent with my in-laws. Both sets of Ryan's grandparents came in town for his parent's anniversary party. So Friday night we went out with his Dad's parents, his parents, sister, and brother to Taco Mac. Saturday morning we woke up early and went to the church to set up for the surprise party that night. After that we went to Brad and Lauren's for lunch (his parents and grandparents came over also). Then I did a little shopping and we went to the party. The party went really well. They were surprised (or at least put on a good act) and really enjoyed themselves. Everything went smoothly! I think we did a great job! Then Sunday we went to Brad and Lauren with everyone else again for breakfast. After that I ran a few errands while Ryan stayed home with the kids (Logan was sleeping) and we went to my mom's for dinner.

My car is finally in the shop from the wreck 3 weeks ago. They gave us a Durango as a rental. Hopefully I can drive it! The thing looks HUGE! Haha! Hopefully by the end of the week, my car will be done.

I'm on week 2 of my diet. I lost 5 pounds last week! I gained 1 back over the weekend though. I decided I have to let myself splurge a little on the weekends or I will never stick to it. So I have 6 more to go until I am at my ideal weight! It isn't fair how much easier it comes off for men than for women. Ryan lost over 30 lbs fairly easily in 2 months! Mine doesnt melt off that quickly!  Oh well.... 6 pounds isn't too bad. I can lose 6 more.

I am thinking of throwing a Super Bowl party.... I need to figure out when it is first. LOL! Anyway, more on that later!

Well my New Years Eve sucked a fatty! Ryan woke up Saturday morning barfing his brains out. So I spent the day taking care of him and the kids. Well he ended up feeling better around 2 or so. We decided to still go to Joe and Melissa's. We got there, ate dinner, and then I started barfing my brains out (and no I wasnt drunk LOL). Hailey was acting up majorly and Ryan refused to deal with her and proceeded to sit on the couch watching football. So I finally got fed up around 11. I apologized to my friends and said I needed to take Hailey home. Ryan got pissed and told me I was causing a scene. HAH! He said he was gonna grab Logan (who was sleeping upstairs) and we would just all go. I said no, just take me home and you can come back and bring Logan when you come home (we live one street over in the same neighborhood). He said no and went inside to get Logan and I left. I came home, put Hailey to bed, barfed some more and then Ryan shows up at the door. Joe had brought him home I guess.  I went to bed around 11:30 while he was putting Logan back to bed. It sucked. I was soooo mad and felt SO sick.

But I'm hoping today is a better day! I'm feeling much better. Happy New Year everyone!
