Gravity...

So work has finally gotten to the point where I'm getting stressed. For some reason that I can't explain, I guess I just never thought it would get stressful. I love my job, don't get me wrong. I know I'm still new there and all, but I'm just completely overwhelmed. There's too much to do, and not enough time, even though I stay late after everyone has left, every single day. I never take a lunch break.

I tried to talk to my boss about, but she said something about how I was new, and all that...I don't think she gets it. The midwife I work for agrees--we've got too much on our plates.

But anyway. Enough about work.

Everything else is just, unsettling right now. I'm going through one of those phases again I guess where I'm plain un-content, if that's a word. Nothing feels right. I'm unhappy about my weight(I had lost some, then packed it back on with work freaking me out), unhappy about our house and the state it's in, just unhappy, I guess.

Troy and I have talked about moving...not anytime real soon, but back to where I went to high school. Housing is much cheaper there than it is here, and the schools are far better. It's just a big change...and Troy is from this side of the state. I would worry he'd be miserable over there. But I worry that I'll be miserable staying here. I'm not now, but I can see the potential to be.

I guess I really shouldn't complain. Things are pretty decent right now. I should be happy about that and forget about the rest. I guess that's just how life goes though. Always going through phases of crap.

Yeah, so I...

Totally suck. Big time.

I honestly can't believe that I haven't posted on here since November. Freakin' November.

I got a new car.

I got a job.

I graduated from nursing school(yes, in that order).

After trying for 8 months, I finally got pregnant, and then had a miscarriage. That was sad.

I'm happy it's summer. I get to drive with the top down in my new car.

My shoulders and nose are NOT happy that it's summer. They're a bit red.

That's about it. For now anyway. Oh yeah, I lost 6 pounds. Hopefullly that number will keep getting bigger over the next few weeks and months. Woohoo.

Who dat? Who dere?

So....it's been a little while.

School is still in full swing. I'm fully into specialties at this point, the last leg of my journey through nursing school. I'm in my second rotation, Labor and Delivery. So far it's pretty interesting...most of it I already knew, but there is quite a bit I have picked up. We have our first clinical day tomorrow--we've been in the classroom all week learning everything so we don't look like idiots in front of the parents.

We're also starting to get everything ready for graduation! We elected(after a VERY heated debate) which uniform we'll be wearing at graduation. Sounds trivial, but you gotta keep in mind that when 35 women are together day in and day out...it gets a little catty. Sigh.

Troy and I are doing well. We're excited for the holidays--my father and his family are coming down from Indiana for the week following Christmas. I'm super excited about that. My mom and stepdad just adopted my new little brother, Jay, who's 3, this past weekend after a 2 year struggle with the system. We're going to visit them this weekend and meet Jay.

Well, that's the basics for now. Hope everyone's doing well. Except for my stalker...that's just plain sad. If you want to know something about me, to talk to me, or just want to tell me off, then be a big girl and just send me an IM. Pretty simple.

Move Along

The cheerleading competition was a blast yesterday. Erica's team made it to the finals, and then came in 6th out of 18 teams. Not too shabby. The team that won ended up being the HS that is our school district--where our kids would go if we still live here when we have kids. Interesting.

Next weekend is the competition on home turf--my old high school. Troy and I were planning to attend POC's next weekend up at JMU(the big HS marching band competition), but now I really want to go see Erica cheer again. We're thinking about doing a double header. Harrisonburg in the morning/early afternoon then Roanoke for the evening. We'll see. That's a long day with A LOT of driving. 2.5 horus to H-burg, then 1.25 to Roanoke, then 3.5 back.

I have my big final this week. I mean, we have tests everyday, and then a final every other week, but this is the big culmulative final. We had one I think two months ago, and it was crazy. If you don't pass, you don't come back. They actually have us take it, then kick us out of the building and don't let us come back until they grade them. You see your grade...if you passed, you stay and go over the test, if not, bye bye. It's a little harsh. We started out with 50 students, we're down to 40 now, and expecting to drop down to 35 with this next final. Fun times. I have absolutely NOTHING to worry about, but it's just interesting. I also love that we're having a speaker come on Wednesday to talk about how to effectively take tests. We have been in school for 13 months! Why didn't we have this back at the beginning????? Haha. Retards.

Anywho, I'm going to go finish cleaning the kitchen. I've been trying to unpack stuff still from our first wedding shower....well, rather trying to rearrange stuff so we have room for the new and better stuff. ;-)

Ok....

We're married now. NEWSFLASH! I think everybody knows now, just making sure. So to commemorate that, I'm changing my blog back to a "general" blog. Yay. We're still having the "big" wedding next year, so you're all still invited.

School's alright. Hard to believe I've been in school for 13 straight months now. Seriously. 6 more left. End of March. I. Can. Make. It.

I only have one more week left of Med-Surg 2. Then we start specialties. Yay. Orthopedic rehab first for me, then Labor and Delivery. Man, I can't wait to be done. I'm SO sick of school! I can't believe I'm going to go through school again...I'm an idiot. Then again, I'm sure that as soon as I graduate, I'll miss it and forget about how horrible it was. Nursing school amnesia.

I'm going to see my sister compete with my old HS's cheerleading squad this weekend. She's a flyer. Hopefully I'll have some good pics to post next week.

Weekend after Troy and I are attending POC's in Harrisonburg--Parade of Champions for those who don't speak geek language. And I'm sure Troy is just THRILLED beyond belief.

I might be getting a job at Outback Steakhouse. Should be interesting. I have an interview tomorrow. Yay for me. Yay for steak.

That's about it. Almost bedtime and Troy'll be home soon. Test number 2/3 tomorrow morning, so I must go fall asleep in my book inbetween the section about colonoscopies and people who put gerbils up their butts. Yum.
