Snowed in...
So, yeah...I'm sitting on a "bed" in the admission/discharge unit here at UNC. I've been tossing and turning for hours and just wish I'd pass out asleep. It's hotter than a bad girl in church and I've got the sniffles. How does THAT make any sense? The "rooms" are separated by curtains so I can hear everything the people around me are doing, everytime they roll over. Overall, it's pretty darn nice. I mean, besides not sleeping. I'm sitting here, connected to the internet on my cute little netbook that Jay got for me and, I'm trying to make the best of this. I'm debating whether or not to get up now and go shower...or to lay my tailpipe back down and force myself to close my eyes. There's a constant hum that I hear...usually that would knock me out like a baby. But, for some reason I find it annoying. I turned the oxygen on over my head :0) to try and drown out the noise and maybe put some clean breathing air between my curtain...
SNOW night!
So, since I work weekends, here I sit at UNC hospital. Good 'ole Chapel Hill, NC. The snow is blustery and dancing and here I sit...about a 35 minute drive from home. From the boys. From the chilly sheets and warm husband. Now, for most people, in most places a foot of snow is no big deal. Here in this mid-section of North Carolina....all we need is a dusting and all chaos breaks loose! The hospital has released a statement to the press showing COTS that they are going to give us to sleep on. I'm so concerned about this!!! Now, I'm so sleep-deprived, I can probably sleep upside down. But, with my cot next to a complete stranger or 4 or 5 or 30? CRAZY! I mean, what if my bag gets stolen? What if I snore? How am I going to sleep without makeup on? These are all things that CLEARLY were not thought out. I'm wondering if a male person devised this little cot situation. I just may take my Elliebug and try and weather the snow and chill. I mean, I'm not trying to be a com...

While everyone here in the south is wishing for snow- I'm only wishing for it if I can be downstaffed from work!! For some reason, everytime we are supposed to get snow, I'm working! That only creates a stressful commute! I'm going to have to pack a bag! Eck! As if 3 12 hour shifts wasn't bad enough! Sleeping there too?! I mean, I'm not in medical school, okay? Let's not push it! I've been an insomniac this week, so I'm going to try to get some sleep now- sleep is always good when it's cold, damp, rainy and snowy. Peace and faith, Kimmie Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
things fun, artsy, fartsy and colorwhacked
dear google, why do you have to have the IMAGE search option? Don't you know that it only causes me to wish wish wish for things and dream of colors, fluffy pillow, shabby chic, fun wallpaper, funky mirrors, recycled goods, and cozy places ?? Don't you know that when I'm bored, I can type a word like freebird and search images and just skim through fun pics? Oh, and please...I must mention the fact that I love searching for things like colorful, art, vintage, and tattoos to see what the latest and greatest are. Please keep it coming, I love the soul-spiration. Sincerely, The Kimster. Okay, I just need y'all to know that what had happend wassssss I was bored at work and wanted to dream a bit with my eyes open. So, I searched for fun things, and have sent the pics to my blog below. You'll see retro outdoor furniture that I want- the metal funky chairs that can be painted in wild colors. The fun silver wallpaper that will go with anything on only be cooler if ...
INSPIRED...
SO, I'VE BEEN READING ONE OF MY FAVE BLOGS- CHECK HER OUT..IT'S WWW.NATNESTS.BLOGSPOT.COM AND I MUST SAY, I'M TOTALLY INSPIRED. SHE IS JUST A LITTLE HILARIOUS JOY. SHE TALKS ABOUT COOKING,CLEANING, AND SCRUBBING, PUTTING UP WITH HER HUSBAND. SHE SHARES AWESOME RECIPES, POSTS PICS OF HER CUTE LITTLE HOME THAT'S DECORATED WITH PLATES ON THE WALL, CRAZY PILLOWS AND HER ADORABLE DOG. I'M TOTALLY INSPIRED. SHE'S AN EXCELLENT WRITER AND HOMEMAKER. UGH, TO BE A GOOD HOMEMAKER. I NEVER HAVE TIME TO REALLY COOK, AND THEN CLEAN UP THE KITCHEN. WELL, LET'S BE REAL, I DON'T MAKE THE TIME. I MUST DO BETTER. I WANT A SCHEDULE. I MEAN, I'M A TOTAL SCHEDULER. MAYBE IT WOULD HELP TO SAY HAVE LAUNDRY DAY INSTEAD OF LAUNDRY WEEK. UGH. I'M GETTING OLD. I'M TOTALLY BECOMING A MOM. I NEED TO GET COMFY IN THAT SKIN. I NEED TO JUST PUT MYSELF ASIDE AND GROW INTO THIS ROLE. I MUST SAY THAT MY HEART IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THAT'S A START. I MEAN, THERE'S TR...
rambling woman
I guess some pictures are just too darling not to post twice!! Sorry about that! I upload the pics from my blackberry and it's hard for me to remember which ones I've uploaded and which ones I haven't. And, of course I want to share them ALL! I spoke with my nurse manager tonight about trying to transfer to the Emergency Department here if there are openings. I told her that I just feel like I need to be doing more, like I am better than what I'm doing now. I dream of flight nursing one day, I dream of being part of an elite team of life savers. I didn't go to nursing school to sit on my butt all night and make dollars. I went to nursing school to learn the basics so that I can use my brain and SAVE lives, not just change them. Anyone has the power to change someone elses life. There are very few people who know what to do to SAVE lives. I'm hoping that I will have the opportunity to work with phenomenal docs, RTs, NPs, PAs, and of course RNs...I'm really h...
hello 2010
Well, Happy New Year to everyone out there in bloggie land! I must say that I've been a very busy lady lately! I have been working weekends still at UNC and trying to sleep as much as possible. 2 boys just wear me OUT! I've also been trying to unpack and get settled into our new little home! And, just to throw one more thing on the pile of things to do, I've discovered KNITTING! Oh, how I do LOVE it! I learned how to crochet as a child and have been forever controlled by ONE NEEDLE! However, one night at work, I was watching a youtube video on knitting and picked it up in a snap! Now, I'm knitting and purling away! Of course, I'm just excited to be doing a scarf right now :) However, now that I've learned all the main stitches, I'm excited about using circular needles, and buying FUN yarn! I mean, the options are endless! I guess I'm officially a hippie now, lol. One of my best friends Macy is a knitterbug too! I think that we should get some girls toge...
