Hip Hip Hooray for the weekend!!

This week has been a crazy one.

I worked Saturday Sunday. I have to replace this nurse who has RN-itis. Meaning she thinks she is the best thing that ever roamed our facility, and she think I should treat people like I am better than them too because I am an RN and not an LPN. Lame I know. Well this is the crazy thing, she was really rude to one of the doctors at the facility, the medical director, and he got her fired I think is the jist of it. She has no hours scheduled for next month and doesn't even know it. I am so so so glad I dont work this weekend because I don't want to be there when she finds out.

Then on Monday/Tuesday my parents were in town! We went to ikea, fixed two leaky sinks, fixed the leaking toilet, painted three rooms (two coats each) and yeah, we worked the entire two days they were here. The house is really starting to come together and we are loving it. I will take pictures of the newly painted and decorated rooms as soon as I finish fixing them up. :) My favorite thing is having a guest bedroom and a craft room. Oh man I am in heaven.

Oh and for fun we watched River Monsters (my mom didn't like it so she went on her computer) and ate Parmesan Popcorn, so yummy. All you do is drizzle olive oil (light) over popcorn and then pour parmesan cheese over the popcorn till it is coated to your liking. So goooooood.

Wednesday/Thursday/Friday I worked, and didn't get enough sleep any of the nights. On thursday we had a resident to resident altercation and this means I had to do paperwork, but here is the catch, I was not the nurse to find the situation, the other nurse was, she was the one who should have done the paperwork, I asked her to, she did like two things and then left. So yesterday I had to talk to the DNS (director of nursing) about how to do the paperwork and what I had to do. I totally broke down in her office 1) because of sleep deprivation and 2) sometimes it just sucks being so young and not having older nurses listening to you (or any body for that matter- this nurse is known to throw work on others and 3) because I had to call the state hotline about this incidence and I was scared I would make a mistake. I work with a great group of people though. I had done rounds with Dr. Waltman (one amazing man) the day before and he asks tons of questions and drills you, and that evening and the next day he was telling everyone how great of a job I was doing and they were telling me (that felt good). And then the DNS (who started crying when I started crying in her office) kept telling me how good of a job I was doing and she always hears good things about me in meetings. And then Kerrie (the nurse that trained me) told me how another administration nurse (the one the hired me) said I was doing a great job, and that even though I am new and young I always ask questions and try to figure everything out and do everything right. (they dont usually have nurses who try as hard as I do apparently (which is lame)). Ok there is my rant about work. How I had a breakdown and then a flow of compliments. Never go to work tired. I am telling you, worst idea ever.

I came home to find pictures of a fire on my camera, I like them. :)

Now I have the weekend off, and Paul has today off! We enjoyed a morning of pancakes, sleeping in, basketball, a quick visit from Joe and Amber so they could pick up the truck, and now we are getting ready for the day. Paul is showering, I think I am going to lay in the bath (and then shower, haha) and then we will go grocery shopping or something. We are exciting people I know.

1. finish organizing my craft room
2. vacuum the house
3. clean the toilets
4. do laundry
5. take a bath
