GOOD EVENING EVERYONE !!
I find it less confusing to stick with the norm than for me to say good morning when its dinner time for most people. Well, I made it through my first two days off since I started back into nursing again. Most of you are probably muttering under your breathe, so what, what is the big deal ? As, when one gets older and goes back to work and especially being third shift, all night it is a BIG deal !! I think the sleep pattern I will use when having two days off back to back will be, come home and stay awake till noon then sleep till din din time, then stay up most of that first night with a couple of hours of sleep and just nap off and on the first day off, then the next day will be sleep normal hours till rested up . That seems to work best for me. Then I am not sleeping life away and missing out on everything. Granted, all of this is possible as hubs loves taken over the Mr. Mom routine. He says then he knows things will get done, like all the laundry not just partially here and there, and cooking hot meals every night, etc. Which means most of the meals he does cook, is pretty well edible. Being, he knows how to create anything that calls for eggs in it. Last night, however, he wanted to try something new. Ohhh boy is right !!! Bless his heart tho. He made a hash creation so he says. It consisted of; hamburger browned in a skillet, added to it was a can of ro-tele, a can of corn, a can of baked beans. Being the cook of creations on casseroles that I am, the ro-tele and baked beans did NOT mix. So, I silently avoided it, however our big Huskie dog lapped every bit of it up. LOL. It was defiantly a guy meal for sure. Tonight, I went into the kitchen and was snooping and found the big soup pan on the stove with two packages of uncooked noodles and a jar of spaghetti sauce on the counter next to it. Ohhh Lord PLEASE let that be what is for din din. LOL !! When he makes din din the nights I work in nursing mind you, during rounds I don't have time to rush to the bathroom all night. Hubs loves his spices. Okay, off the chef special topic. I have 32 days to plan out my promotions that I do for my Blues musician friends. I really need to try and hit some more venues. It is hard though with the schedule that I now have to go and promote all that I would LOVE to promote. Nursing always comes first kids !!! Well, God ,fam then everything else. Tonight will be mapping out a list of what I still need to do, like passing out and hanging flyers and posters. As well, I always bake for AG also. I feel its important these guys get a homemade meal as they are constantly on the road eating fast food after fast food. Granted, I don't cook AG's fav being BBQ we cater that in. LOL !! I do however do some baking for him. Being his fav no bake cookies. This time I promised him 2 dozen of the no bakes , we will see if there are no crumbs left this time !!! But, we only get treated with his soul Blues performance about once a year now so I always try to give back what he gives to us fans !! It's fun, enjoyable and my hobby. Awwww, just wait till the day I can officially retire and do this full time. Anywhos, it is now time to go and recline and enjoy the hopefully spaghetti dinner that I will be taking some to work with me. And enjoy some time left with fam before I go in to work. So, wishing everyone a wonderful Bluesiful kinda evening !! Keep on Bluesing on kids !!!

Sleep cometh I think
Hello Everyone !!
My gosh I have not posted in forever ! I have been updating as I go and when I have the time not even paying attention to posting. So much going on around me right now, new job, family stuff etc. I am trying to get the body clocked into third shift. However, this is going to be a very short posting tonight. I want to get some normal decent shut eye so I don't end up getting sick from lack of sleep. URGH how this is such a learning process. I am not 25 years old here but granted I am not 70 either. I am so eternally grateful to have the job I have and be able to do what I do. God has blessed me in so many ways and areas of my life how can I not be anything but grateful. So, with that I wish you all a good night. Hopefully up early with coffee in hand !! Keep On Bluesing On !!!

Last Day Of Freedom For Me
Yes, this was my very last day all to myself to do with as I pleased. I will be starting back in the work force tomorrow after almost a year off. I am excited, I am nervous all the above. I am excited as I finally was able to get hubs to agree to let me go back to my favorite shift being third shift. It is so ideal when you are raising a teen to work this shift for many many reasons. You may be muttering to yourselves well that is just ass back words. No, it is not. You are home and awake when they go off to school. In most cases nowadays kids ride a bus to school. You are home when it is time to say goodnight prayers . AND, in my profession; being nursing it is the ideal shift. As very very little showers and less staff and confusion. And, where I work at no smoke breaks for the residents after 10pm so perfect bliss !!!! One does not have to freeze in the middle of the night in the dead of winter. So, I am thrilled to be going back. Ohhhh yes my second time around on the nursing end. I love the people I take care of however I can not share much more about it or them due to confidentiality clauses. My job/liscence means a lot more to me than pure stupidity. I wish I was however starting the shift tomorrow so I could stay up late tonight. I have always been a night owl since I can remember. I would stay up late so I could finish that one newly released Stephen King book or Danielle Steele book. My dad would forever wake up several times throughout the night to tell me ""go to bed or your grounded ! " My husband however doesn't like me being gone at night too much, but he is such a patient/understanding man. Now, he wont be the only one carrying the financial load. A very comforting feeling to be living in this world knowing I will once again be employed, one less person/number on the unemployment stats. I however, am not figuring out why I am getting no followers on this blog thing. It is making me feel like there is something wrong with my computer. Which I know there is not. I need to keep researching this thing. When I first started blogging years ago back in the dino years when computers first came out, I had 100's of followers. But, that is when there was no word press or google. It was either hotmail or yahoo. Oh well, I am sure that numbers will change eventually. So, hope everyone had an awesome Monday as I did. And, remember to always Keep On Bluesing On !!!!

October 7, 2012
Good Sunday evening whomever reads this !!! I say that as I ""still""' have no followers. I tried to do the switch over to Word Press thing and well I was just not impressed. Less choices that is for sure. Maybe I need to ask some bloggers to be guest post/blogger on their site. I don't know. I do know lots of changes coming in the near future one of them being going back to work full time. In my first profession of choices nursing. I will be hopefully if everything came in this week, will be starting third shift back in the facility I was working at about a year ago. I had to take some time off for myself. A regrettable choice I have made by far in the financial end of schemes. So, I will be one of the few/many abnormal people in society working and staying up all night and sleeping all day. Hey, isn't there a song they made about that; " Up all night sleep all day! " I have always always since I can remember been a night person. I am a person that is more motivated at night and I come to life in the dead of winter when everyone is begging for warmer weather. Tonight was a very good evening spent with loved ones. As far as that goes the entire weekend was awesome. Got to sleep in on Friday is always a plus as today was followed in the same route. Then, tomorrow will hopefully follow with a morning phone call saying hey the UA came in time to come and do wonderful orientation. Well, no heavenly suds time for me tonight it is entirely to cold of a night. I for one ate entirely too much and am just ready for the fuzzy wuzzy jams and warm comfort of my king size bed. I am smiling inside recalling the nights events as my brother is soooo funny, he says maybe you guys "SHOULD" have a reality show. I responded with ohhhh like honey boo boo !! We started laughing. However, we do love that show even if the mom is utterly obnoxious !! My version of us being or having a reality show would be like Pioneer Woman version vs Osbourne family style, in other words NOT!! I do not think I could put my family through something like that being in the public eye 24/7. Would you if you were given the opportunity ? I think I will just stick to writing and working on websites,and nursing. That is as famous as I ever want to think of being. Okay, I am not making sense now. It is past jammy time !! Hope ya all got to have wonderful family time this weekend and hope for a good week ahead !! Keep On Bluesing On !!!

Thursday October 4th, 2012
Good Morning everyone !!
Yes, I had NO time whatsoever to post on here or do anything for that matter. It was a busy day yesterday did not end till after 5pm. Today will be busy but at home kinda busy, my kinda busy that I love URGH, am realizing its the 4th of October and I have yet to get out my Halloweenie decorations. That is on the list today for sure. And, cleaning, and baking, and laundry. Must get things in order on the home front before I start back to work next week. Actually, I am soooooooooo excited to be going back to work. It is my second time around in this nursing facility. I worked there this time last year. Well, life just turned for the worst and was or had had a lot of loss occur in my life, and taking care of mentally insane was not working for me or them. So, I ended up taking a much needed year off. Regretfully , but am very blessed that I take pride in my work and know how to deal and handle special people that they were all looking forward to me coming back, which in turn lifted my spirits. Not many people take pride in their work much less their life, personally I think that is what is wrong with society. Lack of pride. So, this weekend also entails buziness. LOL, new word. Brother is having twins a boy and a girl so the baby shower is this weekend with more company coming into town. I am thrilled on that part and so excited for my brother and his wife. How fun getting ready for a new baby/babies. I am also going to be doing some website work this weekend. How perfect with cooler weather in the near future !!! I LOVE this time of year !!! I have to say I am so glad I decided on NOT taking my teen to the Twins from hell concert tonight. Just not appropriate for kids they are not good role models. I will argue with ANYONE till I am blue in the face on that one. And, a friend helps with an organization that involves kids and is wanting memorabilia from the concert to give to them. WOW really. I was going to get involved in this charity this year but am now thinking against it if they honestly believe Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie are good kid role models !!! I'm not into supporting the devil/evil twins. Makes my stomach churn for the worst. Anyways, me need way more coffee. So, I wish you all a very bluesified day !!! Perfect weather for it here as well dark clouds changing leaf colors and cooler weather. KEEP ON BLUESING ON !!!

Good Morning !!
WOW !!! How weird to be typing October already. Yet, it is my ultimate fav time of the year next to hard core winter season. I am so excited for this upcoming holiday season. Halloweenie, then Thanksgiving and yes Christmas even. My fav way to celebrate is pulling out all the decorations and realizing, ohh wow I forgot I had that one. So, this mornings topic is, raising teenagers. I always felt so blessed when my child made it through the terrible twos and the everything is traumatizing three's and so forth. But, now we are at the tip of the beginning of the teenage years. 15 going into 16. All I can say right now on it is this...... HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I called the three's everything is traumatizing, well teenage years is really kinda close to that but more like ; this is my drama life so let me be dramatized. My husband has a very very large family. Filled with many nieces and nephews, and grand children. I do love a large family. As well, each and every one of them have stayed actively involved in some sort of sporting events throughout their childhood. One sister in law to be exact has a handful of beautiful children who are and have been involved in track and field their entire lives. Kuddos to her, as she makes sure with her busy schedule that she sees that her children are at every track meet etc. And, of course we too have encouraged my one and only numer-ouno to be sport involved. He has bless his heart chosen his mamma's fav sport ever, basketball. Last year however, was a nightmare as I was working second shift in a nursing facility. And, was unable to be at most of the games, as well entailed finding rides back and forth being we had one vehicle. Sometimes he would say mom just let me ride home with one of the guys on the team. My response was, ""hell NO !!! "" ""But mom we are just coming straight home , don't you trust me ??" urgh how to respond on that remark. Well, first off never let the child be in control of the conversation. Serious on that one there. I respond of course dear I trust you its other people I don't trust. And, then I explain how his grandfather did not let me drive till after high school. Regardless, when a teenager is trying to make THEIR point become reality it does not matter what you say or how you explain the rules. It is forever drama ridden. Their way only, or their life will come to an end as they know it. Lord, how many times have I heard that statement thus far. My biggest fear as a parent of a teenager is this, yes unnecessary car wrecks, getting a drivers permit when they ARE NOT ready or mature enough. I used to be ashamed to admit I did not own my first car till after graduation, not anymore. 16 to me is way too young to be able to drive with or without a parent. It costs 100 dollars alone just for taking the course to be able to obtain a learners permit. That is CRAZY in itself. And, if you flunk or miss just one that makes you unable to pass and receive the permit you are just throwing away a 100 dollars boom fly away 100 dollar bill see ya sometime maybe !! NOT !!! Call me controlling whatever. I don't care, I am not here in this world to please every Tom Dick and Mary !!!!!! I refuse to be one of those parents who are like well your gonna do it anyways, so might as well just go with the flow of it. Well, do you want to know what happens when you are one of those type of parents. Here is a dose of reality to parents of a teenager(s) who just "'go with the flow""". There as of today are three 16 year olds in the hospital, 2 in critical care. And, unfortunatly sadly to say one died as of wreckless teenage driving !!! My heart aches for these kids. The deceased was good friends of my nephews. Some of you may get pissed off at me for sharing this story, by thinking I don't know what I am talking about as I don't know these children personally. But, personally as a parent I don't give a rip roaring azz what you think !!! If it means saving one teenagers life so be it !!! Includes my own teenager. I am sure if these parents had the opportunity for a do-over they would grab it in a heart beat !!! This teenage boy who died was in my nephews track and field , he was a member of their team. Losing a child is the ultimate worst regardless the age of the child. But, there were five occupants in this vehicle that was speeding beyond control !! Over 100mph !!! NEVER,EVER,EVER let your teenager get in a vehicle with more than one being the driver--I will stand by that till the day my child becomes an adult and then some !! Yes, I am on my soap box this am and will be for some time over this incident. Where the car crashed is the worst hill we used to call it the devils hill when we were kids. KIDS--value your lives more for the love of God !!! To be a survivor of something like this is a lifetime of emotional survivors guilt from hell !! You ARE NOT replaceable in your parents heart there is only ONE you !!!! Think about that !! Okay so on the flip side of reality, parents and loved ones embrace these kids no matter how bratty they are !!! Take moments and hours just to hug them and let them know they are loved and appreciated !! Don't be a parent that later turns around and regrets what happened !! Life is short !! Life is precious !! Life needs Love !!!! With that have a most Bluesified Day everyone !! Love to you all !!!!!! Keeping all involved from this weekends horrible tragedy in my prayers !!!!!
