sick baby

For the past 2 days I've been home sick from work! Yesterday I attempted to go to work but took my temperature at work & it was 100.9 so I decided to go home. I've been in bed for two days.
I HATE BEING SICK ... I AM THE BIGGEST BABY WHEN I AM SICK!!
I'm hoping I can go to work tomorrow. I have Friday off so if I go tomorrow I will only work 2 days this whole week--normally that would be nice but how I feel is not nice!

Day 28-Something that stresses you out

Something that stresses me out is my future.
I worry a lot about my future, especially if I am going to get into a nursing program. Being in a nursing program is something I've always wanted & I don't want to let myself or my family down. I know I shouldn't be stressed about my future but I can't help it! I think more than anything I worry a lot so that creates stress!

Day 27-Pets

Here is Archie when he was 8 weeks old :) Cutest puppy ever!! I just wish he was this small again

This was when Archie was teething! It was hilariousAt our engagement shoot :) Archie made a special appearanceLook how cute he is

I only have one pet & his name is Archie =) He is a 4 1/2 year old beagle. Archie loves snuggling & very warm, he loves sleeping under the blankets, he loves long walks/RUNS, he loves TREATS, he is very nosey, he is "overweight", he is calm & sleeps most of the day & he has a great personality.

Archie has a great love for food, not only his dog food but any food he can get a hold of. HE WILL EAT ANYTHING! Recently Arch ate a can of wasabi almonds... I can't even eat one & he ate a whole can!! Also he has been known to eat a couple loafs of bread (once a loaf of white & then another time a baguette). He also ate 24 no bake cookies!! All of these things were pushed back on our counter & I have no clue how he got them!! I tell Ryan that I think he has a step stool & he pulls it out when he needs it lol!! He hates getting his toenails clipped, baths & any type of grooming.

One thing that has always bothered me with Archie is that he doesn't like other dogs. He tolerates a few of them but for the most part he hates other dogs. He hates when other dog sniff him & also hates when he is not in control. This makes me so sad because I want him to be friendly with other dogs.

Day 24-Something you've learned

Something I've learned ...

Well in the past year I've learned that my life -or just life is amazing. I've been hard on myself the past year about not getting into nursing school. At certain times I thought my life was over & that I was never going to achieve my goal of being a nurse. Now I know that I WILL be a nurse!! No one/nothing can stop me! It might not be the quickest/cheapest route but I WILL achieve my goal. After getting denied I was depressed & cried (for a while) but things are starting to look up! I'm applying to Ivy Tech for their RN program. I went to Ivy Tech in Lafayette & loved it, it was such a good experience! Applications have to be in by April, but in the mean time I have to take a test called the TEAS & get a good score! I will take the test in Feb & again in March (to try to get a better score). :) So I've learned that even if you think your life is not going the way you wanted it to & maybe you are getting discouraged ALWAYS stay positive & think about how blessed you are.

I never really realized how lucky I am to have the life I have...I'm healthy, have great friends & family, an amazing husband, a warm apartment, food to eat, money to spend (Ryan doesn't always like this) & many opportunities .

Life & opportunities are all what you make them.
When things get tough, the tough get going.
Decide what you want ... believe you can have it, believe you deserve it, believe it’s possible for you.
