Why ...

Why don't I post more often ... seriously ... you think I would with the amount of time I spend at the computer. Ah well ... so here I am either way ... just two days away from finals for this semester.

How do I feel I will do on my test?
My best.
That is all I can do. If I haven't done the reading then it's on me right ... which yeah there is a ton of material I've not read ... so many pages and not enough days in which to read it all. Enough of school though ... I will have plenty enough time to rehash all the coulda shoulda wouldas during break!

The kids are great ... M got her ears pierced yesterday and she was great, a brave three year old sitting atop that super duper high tippy chair they have your potentially trembling child set in holding a bear ... that bear had probably been the sponge of many a fearful tear shed. My M, didn't cry. She did great staying still, staring right at my nose (I was flaring nostrils to distract) and then the two girls working at that lil store worked in unison to be quick and sweet. M winced, flinched and asked "are they done?". She did great ... no tears and even asked for a second pop ... I declined.

I took them to Rain Forest Cafe for lunch. What a great time we all had at the mall. We'd gone to the Burlington Mall, we were in Mass already and the place I'd planned on heading to initially didn't work out. Dos was with us, oh him ... yes ... he'll be featured on a separate paragraph. So yeah we all went to lunch and trolled around the mall a bit ... was good times, the decorations were great, we spied on Santa from the top floor too.

I had taken my girls to see the Nashua Santa earlier that week, the line was short, the Santa was happy ... I was thankful AND there was two other student RNs in the line in front and behind me. Weird right! one was getting her masters and the other was getting her AS.

So ... yeah Dos ... he had been drink free for over two months ... though apparently he partook in a beer over the weekend and also apparently the beer wasn't satisfying ... so ... yeah ... why do it?! Meh ... what evs ... not my thing ... anyway I guess I expressed my concern that he was an alcoholic and the fact was confirmed and he's made many changes, of which I appreciate. This one beer doesn't concern me, we shall see what comes of it though. He has been MUCH more attentive to his ADLs. There are even beds now in his place for our kids to sleep :) He's such a forest rough neck (I guess I don't like using the term redneck ... only because we're not from the south). We just need to find a couple more box springs and a mattress or two.

Anyway, I really could ramble on about him ... and how fabulous he is ... I really did start having my doubts because of all that was happening but my gosh ... what a fabulous man he is and WOW how he amazes me when he is on his game.
