Saturdays

Saturdays are my favorite day of the week. Last Saturday we went Butterfly tagging and then the kids went to their friend Hayley's house while Hayley's mom and I went to an agro-guard meeting. This Saturday we went to the Rushing Water festival in town. I wish we would have gone sooner, but we were waiting for Mike to finish working on the truck - and even ended up going without him (although he joined us later). So we missed the parade, and the carriage rides. Alexa and I are planning for next year so that we can go early and hit the pancake breakfast and see the parade - although I hate parades. Alexa had a blast! She was running around like a crazy person, buying everything she could. She took all of the cash she has saved - almost $22 and spent ALL of it. Crazy kid.

Monday I go to Wesley ER for my next clinicals....pretty excited about that. I am really glad to have the nursing home over and done with. I am a little nervous about the ambulance clinicals....I might have to see if I can pull some strings and make sure I get a good paramedic to ride with.

I totally took today off - no school work at all today - which is very bizarre for me. I tried to get everything ready for Crop Camp in a few weeks, but I have absolutely got to go shopping. I did watch 3 movies between last night and today - Sex in the City, the movie; Forgetting Sarah Marshall (very naughty); and The Ultimate Gift (very good movie, but have lots of tissues). Tomorrow it is back to the grindstone. I think we will have a pop quiz on Tuesday about lifting and packaging patients - so I must be prepared!

My friend Kim, who is a writer, sent me a copy of her trilogy that is all bound together! I am so excited to have received it. She has 10 books that she has written so I have a collection to acquire. I just found out that she had written all these books a couple of months ago, so I have only read a few of them so far. She was my big sister when I was a kid (not a Big Brothers/Big Sister)....but we lost contact and now we are back in touch. I am thrilled about that.

And speaking of Saturdays - next Saturday we have more big plans as Mike's office partner is getting married and we are going to her wedding....and by the way, Satin, if you are reading this....they took the rain out of the forecast for next weekend...so stop worrying!!!
