wishing upon a star
current mood >>
this month has just been absolutely hectic...
so many activities during every weekend so far this month... so many house chores to do at home... Luke has just been a handful this month, probably becoz he's teething and it must be hurting him a lot so he needs a lot more TLC than before... work has just been absolutely crazy, more so now that I have started working part time at the dental OR on top of the other part time job that I have... i dont really work a lot for these 2 'part time' jobs coz after all Im still technically on my Mat Leave, but it's just so hectic even if I work once or twice a week... I cant imagine what its going to be like when I actually go back full time on my job... Im basically just always exhausted at the end of the day and all I always wanna do is hit the bed and sleep! how i wish i could be just a full time mommy at home... hahaha! yeah right! Im sure that Mon would never agree to that unless we won the lottery! oh well... I was just wishing..... LOL! :: Saturday, June 21, 2008 :: This is IT!!
look at me, still having the guts to blog in the midst of this craziness! hahaha!
it's THE day - Luke's baptism and Mon's birthday... its been soooo stressful these past few weeks and I hope I dont ever have to go through this again, atleast not anytime soon! the combination of Luke, work, house hold chores and planning this big back-to-back event is totally brutal, suicidal-like if i must say... I better get some sleep now becoz Im waking up in like 4-5 hours to start the day rollin'... :: Thursday, June 12, 2008 :: something new
What a hectic month!
I've been very busy organizing my son's baptism which is coming up next weekend! we have just started making the party favors and Im hoping to have them done by atleast Wednesday next week.. This weekend would've been a prefect time to do them but we're going up north to the cottage that we rented and we leave tomorrow evening.. busy busy busy!! On a different note.... Luke's 1st tooth has started to come out!! no wonder he's so grumpy, grouchy and cranky!! He's been driving us nuts these past few weeks! But im just glad that he didnt have any diarrhea or fever... He's also started to discover how to stand up in his crib by holding the bars!! good but not so good! sooner or later im sure he's going to discover how to climb out of it! tsk! this baby is too clever... i think he got that from me, LOL!!! Anyways..... Ive been wanting to try to work in a new environment - something new from that of a hopsital setting or a nursing home or community.... I just wanted to see what other things are out there... and what perfect timing it was for me to find this job posting add last week from a website regarding a part time RN in a clinic but didnt specify what kind of clinic.. I didnt know anything about it at all until I actually went for an interview just this week.. And it turned out to be a dental OR clinic.. I was quite apprehensive about it at first.. I was like, uhmmm, dental clinic....?, Im not so sure, seemed totally alien to me, and I wasnt really hoping for a complete field change.. but after my interview with the dental surgeon, he said im very qualified for the position and asked me to give it a try and see what its like being a nurse anesthetist.. He told me that since I have work experience in an ACU, this shouldnt be too far from what Im used to... and so i did give it a try today and Im shocked becoz i actually liked it!! we did a couple of wisdom-teeth removal today, but apparently we also do bone grafting and implants which we didnt have today unfortunately.. at the end of the day the surgeon spoke with me again and asked how i felt about it and I said "ill take the job!" LOL! I start officially at the end of this month and I only have to work once/week.. so its all good for now. We'll see how I do with this job.. if I still like it by the time my Mat Leave ends, I might consider working as a nurse anesthetist for awhile for a full time job, LOL! Im so excited!! I cant wait to see more wisdom-teeth extractions!! LOL! :: Friday, June 06, 2008 :: the graveyard shift
*yawns...*
im still at work but Im done giving out my morning meds and stuffs... just waiting for the day staffs to come... i cant wait to go home, im so darn sleepy.. i didnt get to sleep during my break, but it's aight.. i guess im just gonna make it all up later when i get home.. i miss my baby Luke, cant wait to see him.... I miss you too honey (",) :: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 :: Canadian Idol
i know i cant stand watching Canadian Idol but what the heck?! i still decided to watch an episode tonight becoz I was in the mood to critique the stupid judges on how they judge the contestants... it's so ridiculous how the judges decide on who to take and reject becoz the contestants that they seem to like are no good at all... I mean, pls forgive and excuse me coz Im no good singer myself, but i think i could have auditioned and gotten accepted as well becoz they take just whoever! i think the whole of Canada thinks so! My cousin and I have actually thought of auditioning this year just for fun becoz we know exactly how low the canadian idol standards were compared to that of American Idol! We were kinda sure that we were gonna get in to some extent with our amateur singing abilities, LOL! But becoz I dont wanna be disowned by my family, get divorced and get fired from work, I decided to save myself from any embarrassment, LOL! I guess Im just gonna just sit and watch.. err... watch Canadian Idol if i feel like it, LOL!
on a different note, i have lotsa things to do... but i dont feel like it, im such a bum... im feeling lazy to do anything productive tonight... maybe ill do 'em tomorrow, hopefully! :: Tuesday, June 03, 2008 :: the trip to downtown TO
what a beautiful day! it was so bright and sunny - we've been waiting for something like this for a long time!
since it was an extremely gorgeous weather, my sister and I decided to go walk around downtown TO with Luke.. we took the TTC subway since i didnt really wanna deal with the traffic and the parking.. and we took Luke in his stroller.. I was a bit hesitant at first to take Luke in his stroller since I wasnt quite sure how accessible the subways were with strollers.. But then I thought TO has always been handicapped-friendly and almost accessible by anyone with disability so I figured elevators were going to be at the subways for sure.. atleast that's what i thought... and besides I didnt really wanna carry Luke around - he's way too heavy for that anymore! we havent gone that far yet when i realized i over estimated TO's accessibility... we started off from Yorkdale Station - and to my surprise, there was no elevator! there wasnt even a flat-form for wheelchairs.. So my sister and I had to carry Luke in his stroller from the mall up to the subway.. we got off on Dundas station.. again, no elevators either.. we had to go in the mall from the subway to get to an elevator... so we walked around and enjoyed the weather... It was almost 7pm when we decided to head back home.. We took the subway at Union Station... Again, there was no elevator from the main floor.. there was, however, a flatform that could be used... but only if you're lucky enough to find it! it is hidden at the very back of some store and it goes through under a small tunnel... there's not even a sign pointing to it... we were just, i guess, clever enough to ask around for it! and then from here, to my surprise - there was an elevaor that we took to get to the subway underneath... *sigh* so exhausting... i think we spent half of our time looking for stroller-accessible area while walking around.. the lesson i learned from this is never over estimate and do not take Luke in a stroller ever again in downtown TO unless Im bringing my own vehicle and not taking the subway! or maybe i should just wait till he can walk on his own! LOL! :: Monday, June 02, 2008 :: matured immaturity
*sigh*
its almost that time of the year again... given another year to live should always call for a celebration... however, i just dont feel like celebrating it anymore... infact, i think, if i could, i'd rather just skip "the day" and just wake up the day after... Im pretty sure that its not the aging that depresses me, i dont mind it at all honestly.. I think its becoz "the day" has always felt the same for these past couple of years - like it's just an ordinary day... If given a chance, I would want to celebrate my birthday in my ideal way.. Just when Im supposed to show maturity, Im wishing for a birthday celebration as happy as that of a child's birthday party.. having said that, however, balloons and clowns are not necessarily what Im really after, LOL! i wanna selfishly spend my special day just like a child - that everything is all about me! i want the pure happiness that a child feels on his/her birthday.. i wanna be free spirited, free from problems, from aches and pains even for atleast a day! I wanna forget about an adult's life even for a moment... I wanna feel like a special birthday girl.. *sigh* i should stop... just thinking about it depresses me more... growing up pains i guess.. |
