My ears are plugged

I got sick this week. Sean had a sore throat and cough and I caught a much more severe version of it. This always happens. I guess my immune system is just weaker than his. So I feel alright now, except my ears are plugged and I have no sense of smell (which effects my sense of taste). Today is the last day of clinicals and we are supposed to bring food for the nurses. I made some spanish rice and I cannot smell it. And when I try to taste it all I can taste is spice. I asked Sean to taste it and he said that it tastes tomatoey (I know tomatoey is not a word!). I hope it tastes alright...

I am really excited for the semester to be over. I have totally lost all my motivation to study which sucks because I have a 100 question final worth 200 points on tuesday. I just need to be more disciplined...and I need my ears to be unplugged...that would help :)Btw...have I mentioned that I love this man very much! He is amazing.

    That is a fun picture Pina, and you know... I don't get a bit tired of hearing how much you love that fella! I wish there was more of that to be had. I feel the same way about AJ every day, and it gets even better with time:-) Just think how miserably "in love" we'll be after fifty years or so!!
    Love ya,

    I hope you get well soon, and that you do well on your test. Does this mean you'll be having a summer break soon? It sounds like you need it.

Parenting

I am not a parent so I obviously don't know as much as some. However, I do believe I have a little more experience with kids than most people I know who are my age without kids. I have been babysitting for a long time now. About 12 years to be exact. I have witnessed families with incredible parenting, horrible parenting, alternative parenting, and really strange parenting. I have realized that it really doesn't matter what form of discipline or training you use. Consistency is the key. I was once given a copy of the book, "To train up a child," by Micheal and Debbi pearl. I was about 19 years old when I started reading this book and to be honest I had to put it down after the first chapter. I was sickened. They start out by comparing children to military personal. Here is a passage from the first chapter. " When headstrong young men join the military, they are first taught to stand still. The many hours of close-order-drill are simply to teach and reinforce su

Turning over a new leaf

So, when I got a gym membership about 10 months ago I agreed with my husband that I should be working out about 3 times a week to make my gym membership financially worth it. I was doing really good until about 2 months ago. I think that finals, along with getting a new job, new schedule, and my own laziness has really got in the way. Lately I have been lucky if I make it to the gym 2 times a week... The interesting thing is that I am finally at a place in my life where I am comfortable in my own skin. I have learned to finally embrace the way God made me and realize that no matter what my outer appearance looks like the true beauty comes from a heart after God. I have comes to terms with what a real woman looks like. Not the woman on the cover of Cosmo, not the woman in any victoria secret catalogue. Those women are beautiful...but they are fake. They have no ounce of cellulite, they NEVER have stretch marks, their skin is perfectly smooth. A real woman, no matter how physically fit t

mother's day

For mother's day this year, my husband and I decided to gift my mother-in-law with a night at her house. We would provide the food and we would just hang out. My mother-in-law LOVES to have people over to her house and it doesn't happen very often because she lives about 1 hour from all of her kids. Recently I made a Mexican casserole made out of mostly leftovers. I just threw a bunch of crap together and it was very delicious (I am pretty confident in my cooking skills :). While we were eating I asked my husband what he wanted me to make for dinner and he said he wanted the leftover Mexican casserole .  So today I tried to recreate the yummy dish...except using all fresh ingredients, instead of leftovers...I really have no idea how is is going to turn out. I couldn't remember everything I put in the last one. I also made a peanut butter cream pie with an Oreo cookie crust. I got the recipe from pioneer woman and it looks sooooo good. I am sad because my camera batte
