BE CAREFUL

I know that there are many people out there that are allergic to asprin. Also we all know not to give it to children under 16, so the following list of over the counter drugs that contain asprin may surpise you.

• Alka-Seltzer
• Pamprin
• Pepto-Bismol ( although they now sell asprin free knds also. Check the label)
• Sine-Off
• Kaopectate

Also remember that cold meds., unless otherwise labeled, contain pain releiver so there is no need to give or take one with it. Otherwise you may overdose or overdose your child. Non-asprin pain relief is not completly safe. Over dose can cause kidney failure. Just thought everyone would like to know.

Dreaming at night

In the back of my mind I must be afraid of going backward in life. I often have dreams or nightmares, of living in a really bad area. The other day I dreamt that I was living in this bad area and I couldn't find out how to get the kids to school. Once I figured it out and took them, they never came home. A gang had kidnapped them and they wanted $16,000. The apartment it self was nice, but outside it was so dark. I had to walk up the street to a bar where one of the gang memebers worked ( can you imagine they had real jobs) to give him some money. There were people in the shadows but no one said anything to me. When I got back home I was in a panick. Even though I lived on the 2nd floor I just knew someone was going to break into my house. I remember putting this gel that would burn your hands if touched, around the window ledges and on the bottom of the window. I don't really remember the rest.
Maybe the fact that we have another car payment is bothering me. I don't really know. I do know that I will never allow my self or my kids to live in a bad neighborhood again. I hate the fact that my son goes to jerk offs ,who lives in a bad neighborhood. Unfourtunatly, I have no control over that.

No title

My husband bought a 2005 Mustange over the weekend. I gave him the go ahead because he deserves something to show his hard work. Except now, I feel this yerning for a house. I have felt it for a long time but it is getting stronger and stronger and I just may burst!! No, not burst but just get something that I sort of like just to say hey I have one!! I know I have to wait til I graduate before I get a house so we will have a nice combine income but I DON'T WANT TO WAIT! Sounds childish I know. I'm almost 30 wasn't I suppose to have a house by now? Ok I really should be concentrateing on school and stay focused so I can get my license, to get a job, to buy a house. I guess that just gives me more gumption to pass, huh. I'll still be over 30 by the time I get one though. A nice big yard, plenty of room, yep that is what I want. Brick or stone would be nice. I must go my oldest has homework and then dance class.

Who ordered this weather?

For the first time this winter it is snowing hard, big flakes! IT is pretty but I was being spoiled with nice warm weather! I know it needs to snow in the winter so there is enough water but, ...
I think that the Farmer's Almanac is interesting and from what I hear, does a pretty good job at predicting the weather. I have never read it, but my uncle who was a farmer use to.
For as tired as I have been this week, I have been doing really well inschool! My grades have really come up!! Maybe it is because I have relaxed and said to my self that a C was OK. I psych myself out sometimes. Well, half of the kids are sick so I will be staying in tonight hopeing I don't get sick. Have a good weekend.

Freud and friends

Lets talk about an intersting subject....Freud. Some in my class call him a pervert because all his childhood therioes relate back to sex. Prevert?, Not sure about that. However, he does seem to have this preoccupation with sex and if you know more about his teachings he has a big mother issue also. Back to his chidhood stages he has a stage called Anality which is where kids have a preoccupation with holding on to things ( mainly their poop). This is where we get the people are anal thing from. So what about the other guys who have stages of children theories, none of theirs relates to sex. Erikson has trust vs. Mistrust, which I think that man is straight on with that one. If you don't pick up a crying infant then they develope mistrust. As we get into the school age years I think that is where all of them have some sort of idea but none have nailed it on the head. Or it could be that times have changed so much. For instance my 7 year old is much more interested in clothing and talking on the phone. This is suppose to be saved of the later years. So for you who have children what do you think? Do you have any theories of your own?

Stepping Up

I have finally learned to just except the C's that I am getting and move along. Why stress over a C when there are bigger fish to fry. I have a test every day this coming week and Iv certification. OOOOH, the pressure and that is why I won't let a C bother me. I found the sort of jobs that I want to do and I just can't wait to get my license. I am more excited then a teen getting their driver's license. Only 5 months to go!! I don't care what Ms. werido strange teacher has to say about my clinical assignments because everyone else gave me a positive reveiw. So there. I am not going to worry about things that really don't need be worried about. Atleast I'll try!

Messy, messy

You know when people say their house is such a mess and then you go in and it looks spotless to you? Well, that is not the case here today. OMG, the little girls' room is a night mare. For a small room it is going to take me all after noon to clean it. They have been working on it all week and have gotten, well, no where. Time for Mom to step in. They are going to be left with 7 shirts a peice and if they can take care of those, only then can they earn some back. I'm getting pretty good at this typing. Too bad it took me 10years to get this good!!

Depression, Frustration, ect.

Would it be uncouragous ( is that a word?) if I were to quit nursing school now? I feel as though I am falling flat on my face. I studied very hard for the past two tests and got a C. How did that happen. Well, of coarse the one was the tricky teachers test. Sorry teachers, but, there are some out there that just shouldn't be one ( as with any career ). The retake for last semesters finale is next week and frankly I am scared. I really would like to quit right now. Then again, I would kick my self if I did. How much can one person take though?
" Can you help me I'm bent? I'm so scared that I'll never get put back together."
What am I doing wrong? I really try to be positive. Wish the school was a little more positive. Well, I guess I'll keep trying.

First Day Back

The first day back to school also means the start of a new semester. This means that those who did not get a 70% or above in their classes are gone. AHHH, but there is a catch ( isn't there always?). You had to come to school this morning and go half way through the morning before you found out if you were to stay or go. Then people who were being told to get their stuff and leave weren't even told by the director, they were told by someone that she appointed.
Right before I left the director called me in to tell me that I needed to retake the pharm final. I failed it which brought my grade from an 87% to a 73%. I made sure I told her that I didn't think that the pharm final was fair. The instructor told us that she was tking 50 questions from a practice test that she had given us and then she didn't. She made this test up from somewhere out of the blue. There was stuff on there that we won't be tested on until this week!! Oh, there is more, but you get the point. So the director is looking into it. I'm sure that I along with a bunch of others will still have to retake the test. Let's just hope that it is fair this time. My horoscope said that I would have to prove myself to others. Maybe that is what it meant.
On a funnier subject I am reassuring my dog that everything is fine right now because my husband is playing the drums and my dog isn't sure what he should do!! It is the funniest site.
