ok so i have been the slack ass lately about this blog but here goes. i just got a phone call from the hospital putting me on call for the entire night. hot damn. i have had the worst 2 nights i have had in a long time. last night my patients were either off their rocker...ie ripping out their iv's and going nutso, or calling me every 15 minutes for a backrub. rub it yourself ya kook, i dont have time for that shit. that one was being transferred to the loony bin this week anyway. then my nice little patients started barfing and shitting all over the place so if i wasnt startin an iv, i was wipin ass and dumpin chuck buckets. i know i sound like one heartless nurse but i am not. i just have to vent it that way to stay sane and want to continue on with my job. we work on a grid for staffing and it really sucks. we could of used a third nurse or at the very least a second aide (which we were supposed to have anyway) but we didnt. i had a little crying spell in the middle of it all when everything seemed to fall apart. it reaffirmed my ideal that i dont want to work in the psych field. those people piss me off and frustrate the hell out of me.
my darlin girl was cute tonight. we were all watching college football and her daddy taught her the gestures for holding and face mask and she did them very well. it was so cute. she is using the potty about 3-4 times a day which has been consistent for about 4 days. so i think we wont be needing diaper for too much longer. she is kinda funny in that she seems to reach major milestones almost exactly on her birthday. on her first birthday she took her first solo steps, and it looks like she will potty train by her third birthday.
i havent written much about the election since everyone seems to dwell on it but i am bummed that bush will destroy our country for another 4 years. but the only good thing is that once this term is done...he is outta here. i heard some rumor that hillary will be ready to run by then. that would be interesting. it would be interesting to have even new republican blood in the mix. my entire life has been dominated by the bush family it seems. my life has been carter, reagan, bush, clinton, bush. i am going to be 32 yrs old and there have only been 5 different presidents in office. despite their down sides i have to say that carter and clinton were my favorite presidents. well enough of politics because it is so boring.
i am nearly done with my first cross stitch project and if it werent for the goddamn back stitching i would be done. it is tedious and irritating especially when there is so much of it. i will choose my next piece carefully. well, i think i am going to head out and get something sinful to eat. i am dying for some sort of ice cream...godiva or haagen daas. yummy.
