I was, um, yeah, well...

Time for my excuses for the week....you know.....when its Friday and you look back and try to figure out exactly why you didn't complete everything on your to-do list.

I'll start with the Weekly Weigh In...


Problem: Stabbing Pains
Diagnosis: Severe Bladder Infection


So this would explain why I was running to the bathroom every hour over the weekend at work. And the stabbing pains were obviously bladder spasms(I could hardly stand up straight). DUH BRITTNEY, YOUR A FREAKING NURSE!! THIS IS WHY YOU'VE BEEN PEEING ON YOURSELF AT THE GYM!!


Needless to say, I was scares in the gym this week. I did go yesterday to attend a Zumba class and missed it. It was at 8:30 not 9:30 (I'll remember that on Monday). I did a little cardio, and attended the Ab Class as-well as the Buns & Thighs Class. I don't dare step on a scale this week. I was super lazy waiting on my Antibiotics to take over. Back full-force, with  a weigh in next week!!


30 Days of Truth...


I'm going to post the next 7 entries today! Promise. I was busy Monday finishing up Christmas shopping. Then the evil bladder infection made its full force appearance. Wednesday, I had to fill in for a school nurse. Thursday (yesterday?), I um....OH! I got a call first thing from Housing on Fort Riley. WE HAVE A HOUSE!! Last I heard (Tuesday), we were #197 on the list! How did this happen? I don't know and I don't care. We got actually, for the first time, got the house we wanted, in the neighborhood we wanted, and on the street we wanted!!! SA-WEET right?! Have you ever lived on post? What did you like/dislike the most?


General Blah-Blah-Blah Blogging..


Its coming, just wait...I'm getting ready to move AGAIN. Ah, there is a post topic right there, so I'll leave it alone. I proooomise there is more randomness coming soon!

So, if you talk to Santa, please tell him, I'm trying to do my best!

Have a Happy Friday and a Wonderful Weekend!

30 Days of Truth...In Pictures (day 16,17,18,&19)

Day 16: Someone or something you definitely could live without. 

Day 17: A book you’ve read that changed your views on something. 
 These are books I have not read, but would love to. Just the things I have seen from them, will make you step back and think again.

Day 18: Your views on gay marriage. 

Day 19: What do you think of religion? Or what do you think of politics? 

30 Days of Truth ( Day 13, 14 &15)

Day 13: A band or artist that has gotten you through some tough days.
I honestly can not choose just one band or artist. I live for music. I listen every type of music you could think of...even if it in a language I do not know. I pay close attention to lyrics. I more than often listen to a certain song over and over if it fits with my current mood or if it relates to something going on in my life.

Day 14: A hero that has let you down.
Is it odd to not have a hero? Uh, nope, I can not think of anyone. I mean, I admire many people...my parents, my kids, my husband, past teachers, our troops. I just don't feel that I have a Hero. As far as those people letting me down...I don't always agree with their decisions in life...but what is that for me to judge?

Day 15: Something or someone you couldn’t live without, because you’ve tried living without it. 
My husband, I tried, it didn't work. I live without him more often than I would like because of deployments. Life is much easier when we are one.

30 Days of Truth (Day 11 & 12)

I work from Saturday @ 7AM til Sunday @ 11PM...so here is days 11 & 12 together.

Day 11: Something people seem to compliment you the most on.

My Eyes. I don't see whats so great about them. Though I always hear "You have such pretty eyes." or "Your eyes are beautiful." One of my favorite things is makeup. But I tend to get carried away =). I have been known to wear a little too much eye makeup. But I think I have huge eyes, so I have a big canvas to work with!

Day 12: Something you never get compliments on. 

Answering this question makes me feel selfish. But I wish I heard people acknowledge how willing I am to drop anything and everything to help someone out. I never hesitate to do something for a friend or family member. Once I drove to another state on a school night and then back home just in time for about 3 hours of sleep and a nursing test that morning...all because my friend needed my help. (I'm not complaining, I'd do it again!)

30 Days of Truth (Day 10)

Day 10: Someone you need to let go, or wish you didn’t know. 

I wish I didn't know the bad sides of myself. The three biggest things about myself that I want to let go is my controlling ways, my lack of motivation, and my lack of patience.

I used to be a perfectionist "planner". Sometimes I still am. I was the girl who knew the due dates of her children before they were conceived.  I'm trying to let things happen one day at a time. But I also feel like my urgency to not be controlling has become the cause of my other two downfalls...

No motivation. Mainly with my desire to loose weight and get into shape. I tend to get that motivation when I'm laying in bed at night. I'll tell myself, "Okay, tomorrow is the day! I am going to wake up, eat a healthy breakfast and start exercising." and the next night...I'm doing the same thing.

My lack of patience...I have NONE very little! I remember being very very young and my Grandma telling me that I need to patience. I don't think I quite understood what exactly patience was. As an adult, I now know what it is and I still have trouble embracing it.  I even tattooed Patience on the back of my neck as a reminder. Maybe I should have had it tattooed on my forehead.
