Ho Ho Ho!

it's christmas eve and i'm sitting by the fireplace, watching my brother-in-law try to fix the tv. we were planning on watching the movie surf's up, but found out that dish network wasn't working properly, so decided to try to fix that before putting the dvd on. it's quiet here around the house, except for dylan running around with his little golf clubs, madly hitting plastic golf balls all around the house.

it's peaceful here, and i'm sleepy now. i finished drinking hot chocolate a few minutes ago, and that set my body clock to sleepy-time. we went to santaland tonight, which is a christmas light show that you drive through. it was fun to see all the bright lights, and listen to the christmas music playing through the speakers. we got to ride on a trailer pulled by a tractor and freeze in the fresh air. =) anyway, right now, the boys are immitating jimmy stewart in the movie "it's a wonderful life", and we're all just hanging out.

i'm so surprised at how quickly christmas has come this year. this previous year has flown by so fast. this time a year ago, i hadn't yet started the nursing program at southern, and i was scared to death about my upcoming classes. here i am, a year through, with only one year left to go, and i'm anxious to finish. i'm surprised at how well i've done, considering my schedule and how busy i stay. i'm pleased with my grades though, and love learning the new things i'm taught.

anywho..those are just a few of my thoughts regarding the past year. here's our christmas picture from this year. Hope you enjoy it.

The adventures of Mighty Nurse

Here's a comic strip I drew based on true events in my nursing class. enjoy!


___ ok let me add an addendum to this. This didn't actually happen in my class, because we would be sued if it did. However, a classmate asked it if would be appropriate to use fruit juice in an IV line for a client who was hypoglycemic and not alert enough to just drink the cup of juice. Forget having an already prepared dose of glucose, otherwise known as D50...let's be creative here !!!
