Thankful: Day 60

Today was a snow day!

We didn't go anywhere or do anything.

First, I slept until 9:15. And IT WAS AMAZING!

Then, I woke to the smell of breakfast...which Matt cooked. (Ya'll he also did dishes!)

We played Wii golf, Wii bowling, watched Old Yeller and The Black Cauldron (wish I could have that hour and a half back of my life) ate plenty of food and never changed out of our PJ's.

I could use more days like today for sure!

Thankful: Day 59

My sister had a little scare yesterday.

Her non stress test didn't show enough movement on one of the babies so they admitted her to a room and kept her for blood work and observations.

Thankfully, she and both babies are fine, so they get to cook a little bit longer.

I went by her house today to help her out. I'm not sure how much helping I actually did, but I brought lunch and helped with cutting tags off of clothes and starting laundry.

As much as I know those babies need more time to develop and gain weight, I sure am ready to meet them!

Thankful: Day 58

Today was rough, not gonna lie.

I made another 70 on a quiz.

So, I came home and took a nap.

Naps make me happy.

I am definitely thankful for naps.

Thankful: Day 57

Just like last Wednesday, I had a pharmacology exam today.

Completely the opposite of last Wednesday, I was prepared. 

Last week, I guessed on 29 out of 60 questions. 

This week, I was confident of the answer to the first 29 questions!

It's amazing what a little bit of preparation will do...but I also didn't have 4 exams this week.

Last night's dinner debacle didn't mess me up at all...and as a side note, it was requested that that meal be added to the regular menu. Success despite the meltdown, I'll take it!

Also...  ONLY 2 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS UNTIL I GET TO MEET MY NIECE AND NEPHEW!!

Thankful: Day 56

I had myself a little meltdown tonight.

I'm not proud of those moments, but I try to be real...and the truth is, I didn't handle tonight well at all.

After a long day at school, I thought I would try a new recipe. Don't ask me why I thought that would be a good idea, especially when I knew I had a huge exam to study for. It just sounded good, and I thought that even with an extended cooking time, it would be fine because the prep would be easy and while it was in the oven I could study.

Not so much.

I overlooked the fact that the meal had to be covered in foil and I had just used the last of my aluminum foil over the weekend.

Thankfully, my wonderful husband ran to the grocery store for foil and also picked up the one ingredient I am missing for tomorrow's dinner.

I've been thankful for him before, but he deserves another shout out tonight.

I know I am difficult to live with right now. I know that I spend way more time in front of my computer studying than doing anything else. I know he deserves to be treated better than I am currently treating him.

But he still loves me, and he helps me and for that I am so very very thankful.

Thankful: Day 55

I used a scaler on a real live patient for the very first time today!

I can hardly believe it myself, really!

My patient is so good natured and such a joy to work on.

I am so thankful for my patients, actually. It takes a special person to subject themselves and their teeth to students who are still learning.

My patient today drove in the snow to help me learn...how awesome is that?!

Also, I just found out that my school has delayed the starting time until 9:30 in the morning. I don't know exactly what that means for the College of Dentistry...but I'll take it!

Thankful: Day 54

It is FREEZING out there!

I'm one of those annoying people who complain about the weather most of the year.

I do NOT like the cold and I DESPISE the absurd heat.

I need to move someplace where the weather is a consistent 85 degrees all year long. That is my paradise!

Mady stayed the night with her Grandma last night so we were sans a child this morning for church. I had an amazing time volunteering in the nursery this morning with Ms. Tammie. I even said the memory verse and got a little lotion for a prize. :)

Matt and I were able to knock out our Sam's trip for the month, hit the grocery store for some staples and lastly run into TJMaxx for some last minute baby outfits because I (oddly) had more for baby boy than baby girl and that had to be remedied ASAP.

While it wasn't the most relaxing Sunday ever, we got a lot accomplished before starting a new week and possibly braving a snow storm.
