Much better!

My face is much better today! The swelling is pretty much gone. The sores/burned area scabbed up(A little different then a normal scab) but they have all fallen off today and yesterday. Now it just feels tight, dry, and itchy. I looked like a freak! People kept looking at me but no one would say anything. It was kind of funny!

Waxing!

Not my best picture, but you can see what this stuff did to my face!
OK so it was time for me pluck my eyebrows again. I am tired of doing and look forward to the day that I can afford laser hair removal. Well I decided to buy a wax kit and just wax all the hair off at one time rather than one hair at a time. I went to Target spent 10 minutes choosing a kit. I got home got everything ready and went to town waxing my poor face. Well I got done and was noticing how red my face looked. I didn't think much of it as this is normal with waxing. I proceeded to wash my face off and put on this stuff that came in the kit that was suppose to soothe the skin. It didn't do that for me. My face immediately felt like it was on fire and began to swell up everywhere I had waxed. I was on the verge of tears. Never in all the other times of waxing had this happened before. I look like a freak. My face is still hurting and swollen 9 hours later. I dont know what to do. Ice helps but I am working and cant very well go around with that on my face. Oh its miserable. Next time I will pay someone to wax my eyebrows or I will go on plucking my hair one at a time. The nurse I am working with said that she had the same problem one time and it took a week for her skin to get back to normal. SCARY!!! Pay somebody if your need to get your hair removed, dont be cheap like me!

7 things about ME!

My friend Darla and my Aunt Debbie tagged me and said I had to come up with 7 things about myself. I wanted to think of 7 things that some people may not know.

1- My idol is Jennifer Lopez. I think that she is absolutely gorgeous. If I could afford to have plastic surgery I would make myself look just like her minus the butt. I dont know why but I have always liked her. I have a few of her movies and plan to add to my collection.

2- I am a perfectionist. When I do any sort of project it has to look perfect. It doesn't matter whether it is a school project, a scrapbook page, or a present that I have wrapped it always has to look just right. The other night I was playing The Farming Game with my family and had to keep rearranging my money and my little stickers. They all had to be lined up just right! I wish I could be this way with my apartment.

3- I am a huge klutz. I should not be allowed to use fire, knives, or scissors. I cannot use scissors or knives without cutting myself. I will burn myself with fire or hot glue guns. I have fallen on my head more times than I can count. One time I probably should have went to the hospital. That knocked me a little silly but I got up, rested for a minute, and then finished my shift at work. I had a hugs goose egg on my head for awhile that hurt pretty bad. I broke my fifth metatarsal on my right foot from stepping on my moms blow dryer cord two years ago. That one hurt a little bit to!

4-I love to scrapbook! I wish I had more time to do it. The problem is I am very picky! I can't just throw a page together, I have to really think about it. If it doesn't turn out just right then I get really mad. I also make a huge mess and it always ends up all over my table. It also costs me a LOT of money, which I dont really have right now.

5- I love to play games with my family. I really like The Farming Game(sort of like Monopoly) right now. I also love to play Phase Ten, Monopoly, and Yahtzee. I think that playing games keeps our family close, even though dad gets really mad when he loses. I even play Bunko every month with my mom, sisters, and my aunt, and cousins. I love going, it is a great break from Jayden and we always get to eat yummy food too!

6- I am a textaholic! I will text anyone I possibly can to get out of talking to people on the phone or face to face. That is pretty much how I stay in contact with everybody! I get anxiety when I talk to people on the phone. Me and my sisters even got my mom into texting also. Its so much easier to just send someone a text then to call them and have to think of things to say!

7- I am very afraid of worms. They really make me sick! I cant stand the sight of them. I hate that they come out after or during the rainstorms. I almost want to throw up in my mouth they make me so sick. Some people will scream because of a bee or a fly. I will scream and start having convulsions(literally) if I see a worm. EEEWWWWWW! YUCKY! This picture really made me sick now I feel like the worms are crawling on me!

Pumpkins and Cookies!

I have been waiting to go buy pumpkins until I could get them really cheap. Well today they went on sale at Maceys for .12 cents a pound. We went to pick a couple out tonight. I wanted to get a picture of Jayden with the pumpkins he picked out but he has been very awnry and emotional today. I think that it has something to do with me being back in school full time now. I am sure it is very hard for him to have to go back and forth from our house, school, and grandmas and grandpas house. Poor kid, I wish I was done but I only have 146 more days. Then I plan on buying a new car and we are going to do some fun stuff over the summer. Maybe that will include finding me a boyfriend, we will see. We went to the Pumpkin Patch last week with Jaydens Giant Steps friends(as he would say. I was so sad when my batteries died in my camera and I didn't get any pictures. That night I went out and bought 4 rechargeable batteries and a charger. I am not going to miss out on any pictures ever again!




With Halloween almost here Aleena and I decided to make sugar cookies shaped like ghosts, pumkins, and bats. I think they turned out pretty good. Even if they looked bad I know our family would still eat them. They never turn down anything sweet!

LPN Graduation

My LPN graduation was last night at Thanksgiving Point. It turned out pretty good. I was disappointed, however, that there were only 7 of us from my class that actually walked. My family was so nice to come support me. Thanks Mom, Dad, Tyson, Amanda, Aleena, Trevor,Robert, Jayden, and Grandma and Grandpa Nash. You are all so great and without you I wouldn't be where I am today. Thanks again!

It's gonna be tough!

This first two days of this week have gone by very quickly. I started my third nursing semester yesterday. This semester I am taking Medical Surgical Nursing II, Psych, Ethics, IV Pharmacology, and SCE(a class where you practice scenarios with a dummy that actually breathes, has a pulse, and blinks his eyes). You are suppose to try different things in SCE that either kill your patient or help him/her to get better. It is a pretty neat thing. Its so lifelike its kind of scary. I think this semester is going to be pretty tough. I am going to have to try pretty hard to be able to pass. Soon we will be learing how to start IV's and administer IV medications. I am not really looking forward to doing this.

No school! YaY!!

I have had a week of no homework or tests and it has been great. One more week until I start going to school full time again. Bummer! I am not looking forward to it at all. I have had a lot of anxiety lately, thinking that I wont be able to do what I need to do at clinicals. This semester I will be doing my clinicals at the hospital in Payson. I did my second semester at Timpanogas Hospital. They didn’t let us do anything there. I have always been with my friend, Liz. It has helped to have someone there that I know. This time I will be all by myself. I think that has made my anxiety worse. I have made it this far so it can only be downhill from here. I met with a Psychiatrist at Jayden’s school this week. She started him on some new medications. So far, knock on wood, they are helping a lot. He started them on Thursday night and on Friday his teachers say they saw a huge improvement. He is going to sleep earlier and sleeping all night. Hopefully these results will continue and he will be able to go to mainstream kindergarten next year. This year Jayden is going to Giant Steps, an autism preschool. I started volunteering there yesterday and was very impressed. They are so organized and structured. They know just what to do to keep the kids on track and under control. I feel so blessed that he was able to get in this year. I hope that as I continue to volunteer every week I can bring some of their ideas home to try. I was planning on starting Weight Watchers next week but I now have to postpone it for one or two more weeks. Well Jayden is waiting for me to get ready(I worked last night and slept all morning). We are going to see the crane they are using at my work right now. He is obsessed with cranes and plans to be a crane driver when he gets big(LOL). Maybe I can convince him to go see Kung Fu Panda tonight at the sticky shoe. We will see.
