I'm finding the Food Network and Maintenance Guy for my apartment complex a heck of a lot more interesting than my postpartum depression annotative bibliography.  Seriously though.  Which would you choose?  Food porn and some cute eye candy in your very own living room?  Or tackling APA reference format and some redundant articles about one of the ( Read more... )

We all have defining moments in our lives- those days where everything seems to fall into place. You know who you are, what you're doing, and why you're doing it. These moments of intense challenge and emotional avalanches seem to build you up as much as they tear you down. As humans, we're constantly trying to find out why we are here, and ( Read more... )

In attempt to be more positive and less high-strung, I am going to focus on all of the good that happened this week. With how I began it and the beginning of OB clinicals, it's been an amazingly good week. I think that changing a bit of my perspective and trying to keep a good outlook on everything has made me a little more resilient to the ( Read more... )

The past week has been like my detox- cleansing my system of the stress that seemed to be taking over every aspect of my life. It also helped me to clearly see that something in my life needed to be cut. At this time in my life, that thing is my job as a nanny ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, this would probably ( Read more... )

I got a phone call this morning at 7:15 saying that I probably shouldn't come in to babysit today until Kelvin's nap. The little guy is sick and they didn't want me to catch it or deal with a grumpy toddler. Granted, I had already showered, made coffee, and had poured myself a bowl of cereal; but nothing ever beats a spontaneously freed up day. ( Read more... )

Just as every cloud has a silver lining, every Tucson snowfall has its dark sides. Today, Tucson school districts declared a Snow Day. I don't know about you, but a couple frozen bridges and some snow on cars doesn't call for a cancellation of classes. Don't get me wrong. Waking up to trees covered in a white powder is enough to make even the ( Read more... )

Somehow I have found myself some pre-semester stress and it's not pretty.  I feel like I piled far too much food on my dinner plate and the chicken wings and coleslaw and extra brownies are falling onto the recently vacuumed carpet, too swiftly for me to catch them.  (A big part of being a clutz.)  The College of Nursing has decided that keeping ( Read more... )
