Bye Bye 3 day weekend! :*(

So I can't say much happened this weekend, all though it was very nice. Saturday I hung out with my Mum in law and inherited some towels, sheets, and silverware! YAY all stuff we needed! Thanks MUM!. Then we went over to Kristin's parents house for a little memorial day BBQ. We had a blast, ate good food and the girls kicked the boy's BUTTS in catch phrase! WE ROCK!! GIRLS RULE AND BOYS DROOL!!!

Today I lounged around the house and did a little cleaning, little laundry, stayed in my PJ's until 430PM....Embarrassing I know, but hey, I'm allowed a lazy day! I did get dressed and matt and I went to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3...Good movie, VERY active... and long, man I had to tinkle with all that soda we drank!!!! Looking forward to the last week of school and shutting down for a nice long summer. We'll see how all goes... Rumor has it that School nurses are at risk of losing our jobs with the lovely tax cuts our governor is trying to magically make happen...Unfortunately, helping some they have to step on some as well...It's a scary prospect, b/c I carry the health insurance, but I know God is in control and we are gonna just have to hold on to His guidance. All will be OK, but prayers are welcome. We are prayerfully considering starting treatment again in the upcoming month. Maybe do an IUI (interuterine insemination) AKA artificial insemination. It increases are chances of becoming pg...But we aren't sure if we want to start next month or in July. We are praying about that too.

So as you can see, lots to pray about! Well it is late and I have to get up early tomorrow! Have a blessed day in the Lord!

3 DAY WEEKEND YAY!

So as I stop and think, I am amazed that it is the end of the school year already....Holy moly what a year this has been! My supervisor was here closing loose ends and we were "reflecting" on this "most difficult year that Talley has had". It has been a challenging year to say the least, and difficult, But I must say, i think matt and I and my family have come out of it with flying colors...Or at least holding it together and still functioning!

As of end of last school year (and I'm documenting this for my own brain's sake...)
June: Oma fell was hospitalized for a week and her decline of health started.
My bro graduated from college and became a TEACHER YAY for him!
Worked at summer camp for lots of kiddies

July: Oma went bed bound, requiring more nursing care and constant attention from mom, and me on the weekends

August: school started again, as did the conflict with my Principal. Oma quickly deteriated. Needed 24 hour nursing care but yet held on without fluids for 13 days. Hurricane something came through, and we lost our nursing care, therefore leaving mom and I to care for Oma until she slipped in the arms of Jesus on August 30. She will be missed.

October: EXACTLY 5 weeks after losing Oma, My Mom and her pup penny attacked by two 90lb pit bulls, mauled and injured, yet they persoveared and SURVIVED, but not without a long mental and physical recovery. My mom ROCKS b/c she overcame so much!

November: Dad goes in for a stress test to find out he has FOUR major arteries blocked requiring immediate Open heart surgery

December: Dad has quadruple bypass surgery SURVIVES and is home before Christmas so we can celebrate God saving his life! I decide it is time for me to move on from my school and transfer to a NEW school with a NEW start.

January: new school! YAY praise God for new school and a new start for me! I LOVE MY SCHOOL!!! OUCH my eye is injured and I have a corneal ulcer!! BOO HOO.

February: wow nuttin, nice slow month! EXCEPT that my WONDERFUL friend Karen came to hang with me and our other friend Heather. It was a BLAST and much needed respit! LOVE YOU KAREN AND HEATHER!!! LOL

March: SAME NUTTIN, wow calm is NICE....

April: Trip to Las Vegas, interesting, and Matt's cuz's wedding. Surgery for my endometriosis.

MAY END OF SCHOOL YAY!

OK so it's a long boring list of the last year, but I must say I'm grateful to have survived it! And I could NEVER have done it without ALL of you! You are a blessing in my life, in both matt's and my life!!!!! I'm thankful to God for helping our family through it all, and I believe we are stronger, and better b/c of it!

OK done rambling! Have a blessed day in the LORD!

Welcome to Our BLOG

So I know that there are some new faces peeking at our crazy silly, pointless blog. BUT Matt and I wanted to WELCOME you to our chaotic lives!!! LOL Thank you for sharing our lives and praying for us! :) They are always welcome!

Nothing of too much importance today...I'm healing very nicely from surgery, no more nasty infection all though i have a funky looking belly button now!! Well more so then usual! It's definitly the end of school. The kids are crazy and hyper and ready to be done. For that matter, so are the teachers and staff!!!

I'm just counting the days~! Ok so nothing interesting today! Just saying hi to the new faces! Have a blessed day in the LORD!

Summer DO...

So I decided it was time to have a new do for the summer! Mom went to town on my hair this weekend and we chopped it off and highlighted it. I'm in LOVE with my new hair do!! And it's really easy to maintain. AND cute!!! I had a student come in my clinic today stop DEAD IN HIS TRACKS and tell me, "Am I really seeing you nurse Talley? You are BEAUTIFUL!". I was all blushing and pleased with my nice new look! If I can please a hyper active 8 year old, who else is there to please!!! LOL!!! So here ya go, an end of the day glimpse of my hair! Have a blessed day in the LORD!!!

13 Days to go....

Well 12 if you don't count today.... 12 days till what? you might ask....12 days until the END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR!!!!!! WOO HOO! Let me tell you how overjoyed and excited I am! It has been one HECK of a school year. STarted of with losing Oma, then mom's dog attack, Dad having his heart surgery, switching schools, corneal ulcer, tummy tum surgery, and now finally it is the END! Throw in a few parties, funerals, and holidays in there and you have a crazy year!!!

I'm so glad to have a summer break. At least a bit, don't plan to do to many shifts. I'm gonna work for an agency doing private duty shifts for kids with chronic issues. It's fun, I've worked for them before. But I only want to work like 2 shifts a week for about 5 or 6 weeks then be DONE DONE DONE! Mom and I plan on finishing painting my front room and my bathroom. it should be all done and look great!

Well off to work, have to finish caring for kids these last 12 days!!! Wish me luck!

Have a blessed day in the Lord!

Praise God for Miracles

So my little student M that I told you about, electrocuted on Friday, really bad off. He is HOME today after only 4 days! Can you believe it??? He still has some burns that have to heal and he'll need help learning to walk again, but his memory is back, breathing fine, and just doing awesome!! God is so good and answers the prayers of His people! I'm in awe!!

Have a blessed day in the Lord!

ICKY!

SOOO. I'm back from the Doc and I definitly have an infection. JOYFUL. Just a touch of cellulitis. YAY. So it is antibiotic time. It's rather gross to have an infection in your belly button, and it's always in the way of pants and undies and it gets just plain ol' irritated!!! BLEH!

School was crazy today. I had 2 EMS 911 calls for respiratory issues, 30 patients, and informed one of my kids, M, was electrocuted this weekend!!! He is in critical condition in Miami Children's ICU. 2nd and 3rd degree burns, loss of memory, and is unable to walk. Please keep M in your prayers. He has a LOOONG road ahead of him, and they desperately are gonna need God's endurance. I'll keep ya posted.

Well quick and easy today!

Have a blessed day in the Lord!!

Sunday

So again, I've not been around much, but i have a REAL good reason this time! :) I had my surgery on the 27th. Everything went very well, got all the gross girlie gunk out of my tummy, and now we hope and pray for a miracle. I'm a little concerned about a possible infection forming in the incision in my belly button, so I'll be going back to the MD for that tomorrow. Really it was an uneventful weekend. Cold coming on, so rested mostly, read a book and a half, slept, did some laundry, watched movies with Matt on the couch...Even played hookie from church. Not feeling quite up to being out and about yet. All though back to work as of last Wednesday. Just a bit worn down is all. Just need some time.

So nothing else really going on. Just getting ready for bed. Matt's bro and sis in law + kids are coming down this weekend. Been about 2 years since we've seen them. They have a baby we have never met who is almost 2 years old!!! Should be interesting! Ah and the dreaded Mom day is coming up. Not really my fave day. To many reminders of our heart ache and empty arms. But I will give love to my Mom and Mum (matt's mom) and remember my dear departed Oma who I will miss this mother's day season. We'll continue to take it a day at a time!

So who's bored yet with my blogging? One day I'll have something interesting to yap about! And you'll be stoked!
Until then:

Have a blessed day in the Lord!
