Sad sad topeka....I can't believe the stupidity and ignorance of some people. (See Topeka Public Library. Re: Censorship)
If you don't like the books, don't read them. If you don't want your kids to read the books, maybe you should actually educate them.
I would much rather my child find out about sex from me or an actual book, rather than from Larry the creepy janitor, or Tony, the date rapist.
Ok...I think I'll stop before my ears start steaming, and my soap box melts.

Bored...waiting out the last hour and a half before I get to leave work.
This weekend is KC w/ the girls. I'm so excited. I don't remember going to KC around Christmas time before, so that should be fun.
I can't wait for X-mas!! I have (most) all the presents bought and wrapped. I just need to type my letters, mail them out, and find out what to serve at the party....hmmm....

Holy Crap, an Update!!
To much disdain from most, if not all of my family, I have to admit that I am COMPLETELY excited that Barack Obama won the election. That's right, I voted for him. Now, before I start getting hate comments from people, I will say that I was not necessarily ANTI McCain, I just preferred Obama's outlook on some of the issues over his. I think he is a good man who served his country w/ honor and I do not disrespect him. (Sarah Palin, however....).
In other news....well....
Mom is doing well and walking for the most part. All of her treatments are over and now it's the long "getting back to normal" part.
We did get a beagle puppy, Lucy. She is very fun and adorable, and definitly keeps me busy.
Work is the same as ever. Lots of call, occasional bitchy-ness. The usual.
I can't believe it's almost Christmas season! I say almost b/c I haven't started the ritual yet of putting up decorations, shopping, etc. I plan to mail letters to everyone and hopefully put a puppy pic in there...we'll see how that goes.
Overall, not much new. Anything going on w/ anyone else? Questions?

Hmmm....
In regards to my last post:
Thank you Harry and Tina and family for your wise words. I have taken them to heart, and really appreciate your advise.
However, I do have to say one thing to my original commenter: Most people that read my last post did not know what I was referring to. In fact, most of them thought i was writing about work. So thanks for that. REALLY appreciate it.
So what's new?
Well, a couple of weekends ago. Tracy and I got to babysit 3 of our nieces and nephews. Thankfully, our friends Nikki and Autumn were there to help. I had a blast!! The kids were so much fun, and any problems we ran into were b/c kids can be kids sometimes, (i.e. not wanting to go to bed). We went to Gage Park and had a picnic, rode the carousel, rode the train, and played in animal land. Then at home, we had mac and cheese w/ hot dogs for dinner, played outside, watched cartoon movies, did makeovers, etc. etc. The only hard part was that I was on call for work and had to go in a couple of times. But, what do you do?
This past weekend was Memorial Day weekend. Saturday was a BBQ. Sunday, I worked at Med Assist. And Monday was the 3rd annual holiday trip to World's of Fun. Not as many fun pictures this time, but we did discover an awesome pizzeria in Westport, and got tons of things at GREAT prices at the outlet mall....good times....
The house-warming party went well. I really appreciate everyone who came. It was nice to show off the house.
Mom had round 4 of chemo a couple of weeks ago. Still the same, can't really get up and move that well, but her spirit is great, which is the important part, I think.
Many things are planned for the weeks ahead, so hopefully I'll keep up on the writing....hopefully....

I GIVE UP
I'm done trying to please people. I try to be nice, but whatever.
This reminds me of high school. If you have a problem w/ me, tell me to my face. Don't smile and be nice to me and make me think that everything's fine, then turn around and bitch about me to everyone. HOW IS THE PROBLEM SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED IF I DON'T KNOW ABOUT IT?!
URGH!!
You know what? I can't do everything, and I know other people have a lot of stuff going on, but so do I. So fuck niceness. I give up.

Friday Funday
OH WAIT....not so much. Actually, today has not been that bad, especially considering the past week. Crazy things were happened at the ol' hospital. Tuesday, there was a midget couple having "relations" in our waiting room. Wednesday, there was a cluster-fuck of an exam SO bad, I can't even explain it all in writing, but let's just say we all had dreams of murdering a certain doctor that day. Thursday, the heater decided to turn on full blast, AND we did seven cases before 5pm, (normally, we're lucky if we do four). So today was considerably nicer. Except for the cold leg in the ER scare. And I'm on call, so we probably would have been here 'til the wee hours of the morning.
(FYI, a cold leg means somebody has no blood flow to that leg, due to either a clot, or narrowing, or w/e. So that means we would go in and fix it. And usually that means about 2hr long cases, every 12hrs. Fun huh?)
As far as Mom is concerned. I think she is doing well considering. She had her 2nd round of chemo on the 4th, so now she only has 4 more to go. Almost all of her hair is gone now, and LUCKILY she hasn't had any nausea. However, her and I both have low blood pressure, so w/ everything she is going through, her bp is super low, and so when she gets out of bed after laying there for a while, she can't stand or walk for long at all. But luckily, that is the worst thing going on so far. We'll see how it goes.
I hope, (keep fingers crossed), that I get to work on the new house this weekend. Assuming I don't get called in, I will finally clean out the stuff in the garage, and do some other unpacking and what-not. I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE ANY MORE TRIPS TO THE HARDWARE STORE, DAMMIT. Poor Tracy has been working his butt off, but I've been so tired from the shit at work, errands, and helping Mom, that I have no more energy when I get home.
Well....poo....
In lighter news....ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!! KU WON THE NCAA NATIONAL TOURNAMENT!!!! I'm soooooo excited. Plus, Autumn, Rickey, the kids, and I all went to the players parade on Sunday. It was amazing to see a sea of red and blue down Mass & 19th St. ("Gee, I wonder what their school colors are?") It's also nice to see something like this bring people together, even if it's just to buy more crap. Hey, it's good for the economy. But seriously, I do like to see people "root for their boys", as they say, and come together for a common, friendly cause.....ok, cheese over.
Well, seeing as I have 25 minutes left of work, and 3 of my other colleagues have left, I think I'll sign off on this Friday Funday. Hopefully next week will be more of one.

It's been a while
As I watch Billy Mays tell how Mighty Putty is the best product ever, I wonder about my life.
It's Saturday night at 12:14am, I'm alone in my new house, in the dark, drinking champagne, eating a bowl of Butterfinger ice cream, and watching Spongebob. Now let me pause for a moment......
Nope, I've seen this episode.
I honestly can't tell whether I'm happy, or incredibly pathetic.
OH, and don't forget the fact that I'm on call for work, NOT scheduled. In other news, the new house is wonderful. I couldn't be happier. I just can't wait until we STOP going to Lowe's on a daily basis.
You know what? I just got a phone call, and now I'm kinda pissed......So yeah.....I'll finish when I can.
