The Square Cupboard a darling store

in Mississippi led me to find these darling platters today!

Just keep Swimming; and Praying!

Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming.

Finding Nemo I am not, but I found myself thinking that today.

Books to read, notes to review, facts to memorize, deadlines

to meet. Someday I will look back on this time and think

"Lindsey! Your only responsibility was to do well in school.

What were you stressed about?" Okay I am being dramatic.

Life is overall good these days. I visited home Saturday

after a successful day at the hospital. This nursing thing

is coming together. I am by no means ready to be let loose,

but things are becoming clearer and I am less often thinking

to myself, "What do I do now?!!!"

Home was good I miss my dog. And my Grandmother had

a Thanksgiving dinner prepared when Trey and I arrived on

Sunday. We spent the day their and on Monday I drove back

home for my doctor visit. I am officially to old to see my

favorite pediatric orthopedist I have seen since I was

13. How depressing!

I love my new doctor he seems

so understanding and down to earth. However he did put some

strict limits on my gym routine (how rude)! So here it is:

From here on out No squats, No dead lifts, and No over head

weight lifting of any kind that could put pressure on my back.

I have had a small fracture for a long time but haven't had any

trouble with it since I quit cheerleading until the other day

when I got a sharp pain while I was running on the treadmill.

Well the fracture hasn't moved but according to my Dr. it most

likely will at some point, but for now I am still able to run!

Thank the Lord running is the only thing that keeps me

from going nuts on rainy days like today!



Update

This mostly clinicals week is almost over. eleven to

seven the last two night and just a day shift tommorow.

The nights have been working with children and I love this

population. My patient was an adorable little boy!

Tomorow after my day trip to the hospital I will be headed home!

Yay for trips home. They are the seweetest. My grandmother has

been planning all week in preparation for her cooking

when I get home. Any idea how she shows her love?

I got to go to the grocery store with Brad yesterday after

class. He is such a sweet heart. It was alot cooler yesterday.

We both had on long pants and were still feeling

chilly! Hello fall! You are welcome here!



You Hold Me

We had our first child and Adolescent test today and thankfully it went really well! My little brother turned 20 yesterday! And I have had this song stuck in my head all day. Enjoy

 

                                                              

Another Week

Another week is complete! Not much new this week. We had our first Adult test on Wednesday and thankfully it went pretty well! Poor Brad is so stressed with school. I wish there was something I could do for him but I haven't figured that out yet. Next week looks pretty busy over here. PEDs test Teusday, PEDs clincals Wednesday and Thursday night, and Adult clinicals on Saturday. Oh well the weekend should be a good time to sleep and work on paperwork!

Recently when I have had a spare moment these are the things I have been inspired by:

• Spiffy Little Calendars
• Monogrammed Fleece
• This is the Stuff
• Love this Show!!!!
• Want to go to this Church

Oh and instead of a link a picture of my interest of the week:

Wedding Veils Yay!

Kicking Something

Nursing School may not be kicking my butt, but something sure is! Growing up is not for sissies! Multiple hours spent sitting on my tooshie stressing over the details I needed to know for my adult test has yielded two days with out the gym and lots of late night snacks. And with one of the main topics for the exam being how obese everyone in America is I was feeling guilty as i sat in sedentary bliss this afternoon and unwound after the test. I may just have bad genes but since 21 this behind has not been on my side! I don't see how women do it I mean I can't imagine having a baby... I have done about 100 squats tonight and I am compiling an anti cellulite grocery list for my next trip to the store. Grrr to Nursing School don't they know they are contributing to my demise?

Rain, Coffee, and the Books

       A warm cup of coffee at noon on Sunday...Is there and anything better? I have gotten to see Brad three days in a row this week (Friday after his test, last night for the LSU game, and earlier today at church)! He had a test this Friday so he has had a little down time this weekend.
       Another week is finished for my fall semester thank you Jesus! 15 weeks to go! I know it sounds like I am not enjoying it, but I am really learning tons about pediatrics, and after every Adult nursing class I feel  like I know nothing. So much to learn! This week I did my first two night shifts. And let me just say I am probably the least likely person to stay up late, so it was a little challenging. I had a wonderful time though and I got to take care of the most adorable children! Thank you God for allowing me to serve you through nursing. We have our first Adult test this Wednesday on Respiratory, Cardiac, and Nutrition.! Prayer would be greatly appreciated!
      The rain is here and so is football! My grandmother called and let me know yesterday that we were going to be having some wet weather this week, so I should take my umbrella! Ha. She also informed me that the Auburn Tigers pulled it out. No I didn't watch. I studied most of the day yesterday so I could watch the night game with Brad and Russ. I have to have on of the greatest Grandmothers of all time!
       Well my books are calling my name! Happy Sunday!
