pictures of the kitchen

We've been working on painting in the kitchen and putting in a new sink. Here are some new pics of the work we got done. Ignore the ugly dark paneling above the cabinets. That will be gone in time too.. hehe.

Long day!

Allan started putting in our new sink in the kitchen at 9 am and it's now 9pm and we just got done. It's a pretty new sink but a real pain in the you know what. lol.. My husband is an electrician not a plumber that's for sure. I don't blame him at all it's the old plumbing in this house. Well the old everything in this house. YUCKKKK!
Lilly and I went over to nolan and liz's house and had a nice dinner with them and the kids. All the cousins played so well. Jake finally warmed up to me and came and sat in my lap. He is such a cutie pie. Maddie is growing up. She talks alot and i had to get her parents to interpret alot of what she said. It reminded me of Emma. I use to not have a clue what she was saying half the time. LOL. Yes maddie is a little firecracker and the BIG girl on campus. lol.
I'm beat and so is allan so this will be a very short post. I didn't take pictures of the cousins together but liz and nolan took some so hopefully they will post them or email them.
Tomorrow i have a busy day I'm going to school till 11 and then i have to be at the hospital from noon till 5pm to get my ID badge and do some more orientation. Tuesday i start out at the rehab center. Should prove interesting. ;-)Good night you all!

Halloween dress up

Here are some pictures of lilly and buddah in there matching costumes. It is ridiculously hard to get a baby and a dog to stay still for any amount of time so they are the best but you can get the idea...here you go.

Well to add to my rainy days... our suburban got the side mirror broke in the middle of the night. I'm not sure if a car hit it or if some dumb kids thought it was fun to break things. Anyway, the good news there is that it's only 20 bucks to fix.

Lilly is growing up.. She is waving at people. Not everyone she just waves at my brothers friend and occasionaly at cars that go by. She is into everything. Crawling everywhere. She wants to get into the toilet water and she still loves playing in buddahs water and food.

Allan is out to another rig tonight. All our visitors have left. The cabinets are coming along. They are almost done. I just need to hang the bottom ones back on. Mom is at the doctor getting it all set up so that she can go to the doctor and dentist if she needs to. Aaron is off today and had a lunch dae with his girlfriend, Jasmine. oh and we got the honda's windshield fixed. It is scheduled to go in for the accident repairs the begining of Nov.

So all in all maybe the sun is coming out finally. lol. Everything passes with time.

yeah it's still pouring

Too add to my rainfall of crap.. lilly got stung by a bee today and mom's account got hacked into and it sent out emails to everyone asking for 2500 bucks for some bullcrap. It seems to never end right now. Oh and i got into a pissing match with a nurse that works at community health center. She was so rude to me and in the long run couldn't answer my questions anyway. Eventually she called me back and apologized for "all this". WHATEVER!!!! Oh and the rig allan is working on was suppose to be a quick fix but the whole rig is down so he won't be home tonight unless it's really late. Yeah..not.
arrggg can you tell i'm a little peeved at the moment. lol. I'm hoping to go to bingo tonight with some friends and forget this day. Not sure that is going to happen though

when it rains it pours right?

Doesn't it always seem like bad things come in three or when it rains it pours? Lol.. I'm sure those are superstitions but they seem pretty acurate sometimes. Aaron has been driving our honda and he came home from work with a huge crack in the windshield. Well it's under the deductible so we have to pay for it. He said it wasn't there when he went into work but it was there after work. We think it was just a chip that spread or something. So that will cost us about 240 buckaroo's. Yuck.. Well very next day aaron took the honda and went into the gas station down on the corner when he was walking out of the store he saw a girl back into our car. She was 16 and talking on the cell phone imagine that... Ha! So their insurance is going to pay for it. I have to take it in for estimates today. It's drivable but it's going to need a new bumper now.
So i went to the doctor first and had to be put on high blood pressure medicine. I can't remember if i wrote anything abou thtis now or not. It was last week. My blood pressure is still high but they think it may hae been my birth control causing it Soooo I'm switching that now and praying that the medicine for the high blood pressure will do the job. Allan decidedhe needed an apt too cause his knee has been really bothering him. They told him he may have a baker's cyst in the back of it. The prescribed him something too..
So yes it kinda seems like when it rains it pours.
However on a good note, My cabinets in the kitchen are coming along nicely. I've been painting them white because they were so dark. So i'm giving the kitchen a facelift slowly but surely. It's my little project. Usually allan steps in and does it but I'm doing this one. ;-)
Another good note is that i'm on fall break. I don't have classes till wed. and then I'm off again till next monday! The wed class is only two hours in the morning.
Lilly is doing good. The teeth still haven't came thru very much but she is working on it i guess. She is crawling and walking all around the furniture. She diggs thru her toy box. It's cute. She also has started to notice the pictures on the wall. She loves for you to hold her and tell her who each picture is. I mean she bounces and screams with joy. She loves the pictures. You can't walk down the hall without her turning towards them and hollering. lol.. When she is tired she will tilt her head on your shoulder after you tell her a name. It's very cute.

I can't believe some people...

So we had a long day in class today. We had lecture for two hours this morning. Then at 1pm we had to be back in class because we all had to give presentations on the places we went and interviewed. I interviewed the child development center. There were at least 50 places that were interviewed. They were all places that help people in different areas like the alzheimer center, the diabetes care center, youth crisis, anyway we were in there for 4 hours. I understand the idea behind this is to give us an idea of where we can refer people to get help when we are nurses. The last group had a presentation on safe kids program. They said that if you see someone who has left their kids in their car at walmart or somewhere then you could call safe kids instead of the police. Well it's very ironic that they went last.

About 5 minutes before they went, the instructor came in and asked if anyone was driving a certain color make and model car.. No one claimed it. We thougth someone had left their lights on. Nope After class there was a small gathering at this car and the campus police had been called. A girl from our class came to that car and unlocked it. This girl had a baby the second week we were in class. Can you believe she left this tiny baby that can't be more than 2 months old and a toddler in the car for 4 HOURS. She is studying to be a nurse. I have talked to her. She doesn't seem crazy, pretty normal in fact. I just couldn't believe anyone could do that. I mean you hear about it all the time, but to see it or have it be someone you know??? I'm hoping they will kick her out of the program to say the least and someone needs to think about taking those children. I'm pretty sure the casper police were being called. All i can guess is that maybe she had post partum depression and wasn't thinking correctly? I don't know.

Anyway,how about that presidential debate? I thought John Mcain did very well. He's a fiesty old guy for sure. I'm not sure picking sarah Palin will help him in the end but who knows. It sure was interesting to watch. I didn't get to watch it all the way thru cause i had lilly duty and she was so upset tonight. Poor thing. Her tooth is poking thru for sure now.

She is down now and I'm headed to bed too. I have to go to the hospital tomorrow for orientation.
Good night you all

I can't keep up

I'm in the middle of painting kitchen cabinets. Probably shouldn't of started that one yet. LOL.. I just learned at school that I"m going to the rehabilitation center for my first clinical rotation. I spend 4 weeks there then i switch to the hospital for the last two weeks of the semester and pick back up there in the spring semester. Midterm grades are out for one class. I have a 91% which is the lowest A you can have. Hey, it's still and A right? haha
Lilly is teething bad right now. These top two teeth just don't want to come in. I think one is barely breaking the skin. I can't see it too good but i think i see a speck of white. She is pissy all day and last night she woke up for a good hour or two in the middle of the night and would not calm down for anything. So i'm running on zero energy.
Okay i'm done complaining. I'm going to the library tonight so i can start on my 6 page paper for an issues in nursing class that will thankfully be over in november! One down. I still have a 100% in math so far. Yeahhh.. !
Mom is doing some running around today. I think she needed some time away from the house and from lilly. She is quite the handful right now. So she is out doing osme errands. Hopefully she will do something fun for herself too.
Anyway i'm going to go relax while lilly is finally down for a nap. wheeww exhausting little thing.

it's raining it's snowing the old man is snoring..
