Answers and Apologies!
So So Sorry I didn't post the answers to the fun brain quiz from my previous post! Nicole stayed home from school on Wednesday, took her to the doctor Thursday because she was still sick and turns out she got hit with a double whammie! She had strept throat and a sinus infection. Needless to say she stayed home yesterday too. I went up to the school and got her work though and she will stay busy this weekend.

I've worked the last two days, and am not scheduled for anything else this week so I'm gong to catch up on some housework and such. Next week will be tough and not sure how much I will blog since I'll be at school every day next week for some reason or another. I just know it will be crazy busy.
Last night Nicole was complaining of a headache, stuffy nose and had a low grade fever. This morning she said her head was pounding, so we let her stay home, in case its the flu. Please pray that it isn't.

You Know You're a Nurse When...

and knock it over.
3) you believe some patients are alive only because it's illegal to kill
them.
4) you recognize that you can't cure stupid.
5) you own at least three pens with the names of prescription medications
on them.
6) you believe there's a special place in hell for the inventor of the
call light.
7) you believe that saying "it can't get any worse" causes it to get worse
just to show you it can.

9) you believe that any job where you can drive to work in your pajamas is
a cool one.
10) you consider a tongue depressor an eating utensil.

13) you've ever heard a patient with a nose ring, a brow ring, and twelve
earrings say "I'm afraid of

14) you've ever placed a bet on someone's blood alcohol level.
15) you've told a confused patient that your name is that of a coworker
and to call if they need help.

17) you have seen more penises than any prostitute could dream of.

down x-rays.

Saturday
Well its Saturday and I woke up to a drizzly morning. I hope it clears up enough for us to have a fun spa day for Nicoles birthday! Sue and I are taking her and her BFF Carson to the spa and we are all getting pampered. Then out to lunch and shopping a bit as long as the weather holds out.
Just FYI we DID NOT have Halloween candy for dinner Thursday night. Nicole was gracious enough to want pizza. I can live with that at ANY time!
Well, gotta go get ready! Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Please don't forget to look at my previous post and donate to help sponsor me and my team in our walk for MDA! Each walker needs to rais e $82 - which only covers ONE MINUTE of research!

2010 Stride and Ride
As many of you know, I have a peripheral neuropathy and due to that I am taken care of by the Muscular Dystrophy Association ( MDA). My mother also has it.
This year I am a Team Captain for the Greater North Texas Stride and Ride to be held January 30th. I have an online donation center where you can email the link and such to friends and or family. So far I have 8 people on my team that will be walking with me on that day and I am PUMPED!!
I haven't attended in the last two years, but I did the 3 years before that and it is a blast! There are so many wonderful people that you meet, that all come together for one great day and try to raise funds to find a cure for over 40 different types of Neuromuscular Diseases!
If you want to read more about the type I have, you can Google Charcot-Marie- Tooth, or click here.
Please click HERE to go to homepage for my Stride and Ride Team.
Please help me spread the word and thank you in advance for any donations.
