5 question Friday!

So, I've been kind of busy and haven't blogged lately...and yes, I'm taking the easy way out by just doing 5 question Friday again.  Oh, well, I'll try to get some blogging done this weekend...plus I need to post the pics from our mini vacation in April still (I'm pretty sure, I think).

1. If you had to choose, how would you prefer to choose to spend money...on landscaping or a pool?  I'd like a pool...but, I wouldn't like the stress that comes with a pool...I'd always be worrying about the kids.

2. (Scott likes to get things stirred up...) Death penalty, yay or nay?  I believe in the death penalty...that's all.

3. What's the worst thing your kid has gotten into when you turned your back/blogged/showered/blinked?  Well, my littlest ones dumped an entire of canister of flour on their heads and all over my floor one morning while I was resting (I worked nights then) and then that afternoon while I showered they decided it was a great idea to climb INTO the sooty, nasty fireplace and play. 

4. How often do you REALLY go to the dentist?  NO COMMENT!!!

5. What is your favorite animal (doesn't have to be a pet-type animal)?  I guess it would probably be elephants...but I'm really not an animal type person.

5 question Friday

 

1. Do you and your spouse go to bed at the same time?  Very, very rarely.  I am definitely a night person and prefer to stay up until sometime around 11pm or so (sometimes later). My husband prefers to be in bed no later than 10pm.  Occasionally, we go to bed at the same time but then it's a toss up as to who can actually fall asleep as we are both more used to going to sleep on our own.

2. A question for the ladies...What kind of facial hair do you like on your man?  My husband has 5 o'clock shadow at 11am...so I'm very used to scruff and actually like it on him but my favorite...is when he is freshly shaven!

3. What's the worst vacation you've ever taken?  2 years ago we went to San Antonio for Tristan and my birthdays...well, unbeknownst to us there was a VERY YUCKY stomach bug going around San Antonio...and YES, we got it.  Tristan was sick for 2 days (actually threw up on a stranger), Adreyn threw up on the floor directly in front of the hotel desk, and the rest of us were pretty sick...

4. What's the first-ever blog you followed?  My sisters...since she lives all the way in Australia it's the best way to keep up with the goings-on of her and her many children :-)

5. Do you enjoy amusement parks? We live about 45 minutes from Six Flags over Texas and when I was a teenager we pretty much spent every single weekend there.  When I was able to drive I actually drove my friends there whenever we went.  I still like amusement parks but we don't get to go very often.  Plus my husband gets sick on them so if we were going to go I would have to find someone to ride with me :-)

5 Question Friday

1. Tube socks, calf socks, crew, ankle, none? (From@ThisDaddys_Blog)   I prefer my flip flops in the summer, and slip on ballet flats in the winter but I wear ankle socks to work with my tennis shoes.

2. Was your childs (children's) name a mutual decision or was it a debate? If you don't have children, do you plan on giving your spouse a say, or do you have a name you MUST have, regardless if your other half likes it or not?! (From @momtodh)

Well, I came up with the kids names and my husband gave his say and then we agreed on the names I picked :-)  My husband did pick the spelling of our youngest's first name and our son's middle name.  

3. What is your favorite type of weather? (From@TheSpunkyDiva)  My favorite weather is about 80 degrees, a light wind, and a few clouds in the sky

4. If left to your own devices, what time would you wake up every day? (From Sandy at "Pardon My Dust")  Ummmm, NOON.  Of course, I did "used to" be a night shift person so it isn't really as bad as it could be, right???  Please say you agree!!!!

5. Have you bought your cemetery plots yet? (From Pam at "Troop Petrie")  No we haven't...we need to plan our wills first.  Plus, this is kind of depressing so I just don't wanna....

Today

Today was busy...a staff meeting at 7:30am, and another one at 5pm...lunch with my honey, and then, dinner out at Kobe Steaks (a hibachi Japanese grill) with 8 of my great friends from my old job.  I really miss them but I loved my time out with them tonight!!!!

5 question Friday!

1. Have you ever had roommates?  Yes, a "real" roommate in college...we did NOT get along most of the time.  And I have a roommate now...my husband :-)


2. How many names do you/your children have? (i.e. Prince Charming William Phillip Arthur Louis John Jacob Jingleheimer-Schmidt)  My kids each have a first name, middle name, and last name:  Adreyn Mikailah, Tristan Kreig, and Rehanyn Noelle

3. Did you watch the Royal Wedding?  I watched the sped up replay of the Royal Wedding...does that count???? 


4. What is the messiest room in your house?  My bedroom...it becomes the "catch-all" for everything when we are cleaning the house in a hurry :-)

5. What is your ideal mothers day?  To be able to sleep in and just rest and relax all day.  Probably not going to happen though!

okay

working dayshift is sooooo different from working nights! I don't feel like I have as much "me" time now as I did when i worked nights...probably because I was up so late every night because I couldn't sleep. Anyway, I'm enjoying my new job...just trying to figure everything out.

these past 2 weeks have been interesting. The garage door opener decided to detach itself from the ceiling and fall (with the drywall) on Jason's head so we haven't been able to put cars in the garage for 2 weeks (supposed to get that fixed this week). The kitchen sink drain got plugged and dumped water all over our laminate floor (and under it). Luckily we got it dried out and didn't have to do anything "major" and one of our friends came and helped Jason clear out the plug. The lower element in the oven burned itself in half and had to be replaced (so we couldn't use the oven for a week). 2 of the kids got sick and had to go to see Dr. Dhoot...Rehanyn just had allergies...Tristan was trying to get pneumonia (got antibiotics and is better now). I got sick on Wednesday and now have a nice case of bronchitis (got antibiotics yesterday and starting to feel better). Wednesday something caught (Jason thinks it was the hook on one of my bras) the front rubber seal on the front loader washing machine and unsealed it so currently my washing machine is unusable (not a good thing with 5 people in the house). The washing machine should get fixed tomorrow though. So yesterday and today we are doing laundry at mom and dad's house (since they are in MN right now LOL) Thanks Mom and Dad!!!!! Hopefully this is enough for this year and stuff can start to calm down now.

Back to work tomorrow with antibiotics on board...lots of meetings this week. Looking forward to my girls night out with my MCL friends next week!!!!!

5 question Friday!

1. What is your favorite Easter tradition?  Ummm, we don't really have an Easter tradition...I generally ended up working Easter weekend so we didn't do too much.  I guess maybe eating ham for Easter dinner is pretty much our tradition.

2. Are you a "shower" or a "long, hot bath" kind of person?  I prefer the "long, hot bath" but the only bathtub in our house is in the kids bathroom and I just can't get real comfy in there...So, right now it's a "long, hot shower" around here...

3. Can you parallel park and if so when is the last time you did it?   I can parallel park and I believe I did it last about 6 months ago...but I didn't do a great job but I did an okay job.

4. What is your favorite Easter candy?  Peeps!!!!!

5. Easter: do you go all out with the Easter Bunny or focus on the religious part of the holiday?  We try to go with a mix of the 2...a bit heavier on the religious side...But a good dose of chocolate is in the mix too :-)

First day of the new job

Today was my first day of my new job...it was SOOO exciting...NOT!  I got to sit in a classroom and review HIPAA information, benefit info, where to park my car...etc.  Hmmm, 8 hours of that type of stuff made me pretty sleepy.

I found out also, that my boss (who I met with last week) resigned last friday, effective immediately.  So, the surgical services director is now the interim director of women's and children's and my new temporary boss.  This should be fun :-)

5 question Friday

1. What is your favorite sign of spring?  Well, I guess it would be the grass turning green and the flowers budding.

2. What was your best birthday ever?  Hmmm, I don't think I've had my best birthday ever yet :-)  But I did enjoy my 32nd birthday when several of my friends and I went to see the Dancing with the Stars tour here in Dallas :-)

3. What is your favorite dessert?  Homemade...Oreo Cookie Dessert.  Bought...Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden

4. What is the best excuse you've ever used to get out of a ticket?  Never had to get out of a ticket...I've only had one and I deserved it LOL

5. Do you wake up before your alarm, with your alarm, or after hitting snooze several times?  My husband is usually my alarm but with my new job I'll be using my own probably...I don't use the snooze though if I'm using my alarm.

today

today I went to drop off all my paperwork to Human Resources...asked the volunteer at the front desk to point me to HR and he refused to let me go back there...I had to turn in my paperwork to him...very odd!  Anyway, after that encounter, I got to go talk to my new boss and find out the plan for next week.  I'll have hospital orientation on Monday and then shadow her for the next few days.  I also got the keys to my new office!!!!  Then I went shopping at Hobby Lobby and got a cute black and white photo board for the office.  Then I stopped at the Dollar Tree and got a couple of organizational supplies for my office too.  After that I went and picked up some Navy blue scrubs...kinda wish I hadn't bought the Royal ones just 6 weeks ago. :-)  Then I had the joy of getting to have a drug screen done...just FYI...the peeps at QuestCare Lab are pretty unprofessional...and they made me feel kinda like a drug addict.  ("empty your pockets...put everything in your purse...put your purse in the box...lock the box...take the key...rinse and dry your hands, no soap...grab a cup and dump out the contents on the counter...ok, go pee, don't flush, and bring it back out...ok, wash your hands...sign this...initial this...initial this...get your stuff out of the box...you can go").  It was odd.  I've never had to lock up my purse before. 

Later, I made dinner (tenderloin...it was yummy!) and then we went to Rehanyn's 1st grade music program.  It was the last 1st grade program we will attend anytime soon....awwww.  Actually we are pretty happy abut that :-) 

Tomorrow we are gonna run by mom's so that she can hem my new scrub pants and then we are gonna hopefully go buy some fishes for the fish tank Jason decided we needed. Then I've got to go back to work for the first of my last 2 night shifts...
