50 Odd Things
So, I obviously am putting of cleaning! ;-) I got this from a friend and filled it out for my blog.
1. Do you like blue cheese? absolutely! looooove blue cheese salad dressing, but the fat content usually makes me buy something else!
2. Have you ever smoked? Nope
3. Do you own a gun? I think Matt has a rifle from my dad somewhere in the house
4. What flavor Kool Aid was your favorite? grape
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Not really- only before early pregnancy appointments, before we find out if the pregnancy is healthy - thankfully, we're done with that part of our lives!
6. What do you think of hot dogs? I used to like them, but know I cannot handle them, at all! I'll maybe eat a brat, maybe...I think I'd rather eat a plain bun with relish and mustard!
7. Favorite Christmas movie? Hmm...I dunno if I have a specific Christmas fave
8. Favorite thing to drink in the morning? probably a toss-up between coffee and diet coke!

19. One of your favorite places to be? right now, after seemingly being hospitalized for so long this pregnancy, at home, with my boys! :D Besides that, Matt and I love traveling together, anywhere. :)
20. How did you bring in the New Year? I can't even remember! I'm sure we were just at home.
21. Where would you like to be? right this second? fast-forwarded in time about 9 weeks when we have Baby Girl!

Re-visiting my teaching days
Wow! I found a group called "Lake Highlands High School Alum" on Facebook, and wow, it brought back memories!!!! I saw sooo many old students! And, a lot of them have already graduated or are graduating this year from college - wow!! I still have such fond memories of that building and my classroom, and my first 3 years of teaching there will always have a special place in my heart. Yes, there was stress, and yes, the job was all-consuming (my first year of teaching Matt was SHOCKED at the amount of work that went into it!), but I truly loved it. A portion of my heart will forever be in the classroom, and I am confident that some day, when the kiddos are older, there will be a perfect part-time job for me somewhere.
I'll those too, then, please!
A couple of evenings ago I was chatting with one of my night nurses (Heather, whom I really, really like but she only works weekends :(), and we were just commenting how nice this hospital is. She said that one of her patients - in severe pre-term labor - recently pressed the call button and said she had a question for the nurse. Heather went to check on her, concerned about the baby and the pre-term labor situation.
But, nope, nothing was wrong with the patient - she just asked for the "big white fluffy towels" for the shower! (instead of the thin, small, hand-sized bath towels the hospital has!) Yeah, this hospital is nice, but it's still a hospital! I don't think they take fluffy towel requests! ;-)
