A Day In the Life of a Regional Wife

Are you doubting?

2011-07-16T20:52:00.000-05:00

I was reading book #29 Breakout! in the Left Behind the Kid's Series, by Jenkins and LaHaye tonight and came across this quote :

"If there's one thing I know, it's that God has a purpose for things. Everything fits together like a puzzle, but we're looking at it from a human angle. All we can see is the misisng pieces. He sees the big picture and knows how it all fits."

I believe everyone in life needs to hear this and remember that the Lord really is in charge. If I learned anything in my first year of marriage it is that. God is in Control no matter how much I worry about things, God will provide and take care of the situation. I truly believe that I was living life to much in control when B lost his medical certificate back in October and The Lord knew I needed to have my eyes opened to this truth. Everything got changed, I felt like my world had fallen apart, nothing is how I thought it would be. I was losing faith in everything. Then I prayed....and I prayed hard, for a sign that the lord really was listening to me and was there for me. I prayed that prayer on a Saturday, I got my sign the very next day in church, Pastor Walter Wood gave a sermon in the Signs of Life series at our church, North Cincinnati Community Church.

The main takeaways from this sermon for me " Everything happens in the Lord's time, we are not in charge HE IS!" "If you Believe you will see the glory of God, just hang in there." Jesus is in control, he may delay things, but he is in control! There is no answer or delays sometimes to our Prayers, but as long as we believe we will see the Glory of God, eventually! "The Lord never sleeps, he is always working, and he hasn't forgotten us"

As Walter was saying these things, I had to stifle a laugh, as this was my sign that the Lord really was there, he was listening to me....I felt like a fool for losing hope but I prayed again, a prayer of Thanks to the Lord, and now I truly believe the way the last year of my life has been was so that I would lean more on the Lord, less on myself!

God is Good!

"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day as enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34

We've gone from Future Mr and Mrs...to Mr and Mrs...to what now feels like roommates.

I don't know who this man is I'm leaving with. He isn't the sweet, caring, calm, level-headed man I married.

In October 2010 B pulled a muscle while at work on the plane. The pain from this pulled muscle caused him to pass out....for those of you who have any knowledge about the airline industry...you know this is a big UH OH!

Since Oct, we have been fighting to get his medical back. 5 doctors have told us and the FAA they believe it was just a vasovagal attack and nothing is wrong, yet they can not diagnosis this for certain. So we are grounded.

As some of my long ago readers may remember B and I did not get to go on our planned honeymoon because he got sick in the airplane as we were going to leave the states for Mexico. So we had planned on taking one in December when his next scheduled vacation was. We were going to go to Paris...the off season for travel there and would have been able to use our flight benefits. Don't ya know....you can't non-rev on other airlines while you are on sick time....therefore Paris was called off...

We were able to go to Montreal (because that is one place his airline does fly to)...just where you want to go in the middle of the winter! It was nice we were able to get away from home...but it was nothing special...snow covered with not a whole lot to do in the winter.

I was suppose to go back to MN for Christmas...but again using the rule of only being able to non-rev on his airline...that gave me one flight a day to get home...wasn't going to work out...so I missed out on Christmas! YAY....Life as a pilot's wife...sucks...

Now the new plan for B is to study for his GMAT and get his MBA.

This means our apartment has turned into basically a dorm room...he is studying all the time...and spending no time focusing on us.

We've had to ask both sets of our parents for help with our finances. EMBARRASSING!

We had plans for this summer for me to get to go down to part-time at work...but with the loss of his income and did I mention the GOOD insurance from the airlines..I have to work as many hours I can get. Which isn't a lot when Doctors are out of the office every week meaning an x-ray tech has to take a day off...and with so few of us...it seems to be my turn every few days.

My whole income will now be going to insurance and my student loan payments. Which is great since you know...we need to put a roof over our heads and food on the table. Not for our sake but for the sake of B's son A.

I'm sorry this post has been about complaining..I've run out of outlets and need to put my anger somewhere.

I hate my life. I'm sick of fighting every day with my husband...who after yesterday I've started calling roomie...because he doesn't feel like a husband...he feels like a roommate. and i don't want a male roommate! They are no fun! We snap at each other all the time...there is so much tension its like walking on egg shells every day from the moment I wake up to the final tug of the covers because...with our king size bed he seems to still not get enough covers..when I'm barely covered at all...

Any advice out there???

I pray everyday...I'm really starting to rely on my faith in the Lord...but I'm beginning to lose hope at the same time...I'm not strong enough for this...if i didn't have the Lord on my side I know i'd be a lot worse off then I am...but something has to give......

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks for listening!

Edit after the comment I received:

B is not able to get Workers comp, because the injury is over. It is the passing out on the plane that is the problem. The FAA took is medical license away. Worker's Comp says that this has nothing to do with the injury and therefore will not cover anything for us!...But thanks for the thoughts!

Funny Story

2010-06-17T20:57:00.003-05:00

I thought I would give you my fellow readers a little bit of wedding details...well not so much wedding details but the honeymoon that didn't happen details...

Mainly because there has been a lot of talk around me today of people's honeymoons..and I'm feeling sorry for myself...so where else to pout about it then on my blog...that sometimes exists!

Here we go:

My husband, (a pilot...remember this, its humorous and embarrassing for him..) got sick on our first flight from MN to TX. He asked me for the barf bag, but before I could figure out what he wanted he was projectile vomiting on the plane. So when we got to TX we had to find something new for him to wear, as he had no other clothes in his carry on. Luckily my one carry on suitcase was packed with clothes for me as I had to change as well. He seemed tired that morning as we had only 3 hours of sleep so I really didn't think that our day would turn out the way it did. As we were sitting at the airport to go to Mexico he started getting sick again, he threw up in the airport also. However then he felt amazing so we got on the plane.

As the plane was taxiing to the runway, I looked over at my husband all excited because we were going to Mexico on our HONEYMOON...and he was pale! VERY WHITE...and sorta sweaty...So I asked him what was wrong and he told me in a very soft voice he thought he was going to pass out...so I flagged down the flight attended for a cool washcloth and told her that he thought he was going to pass out... so she asked is it anxiety, does he fly much? I laughed and said yes, he is a pilot. So at this point we knew something was extremely wrong so we had to call an ambulance to meet the plane back at the gate and we spent our second day married in the emergency room in Texas..not in Mexico in our Honeymoon suite.

Turns out he was really dehydrated and had some sort of stomach bug.

So my advice to those of you with a wedding in your future...make sure you are drinking the water the whole week leading up to your wedding. We had so much going on with all the decorating and such that water was far from our minds, and that ruined our honeymoon.

We will at some point go away on a make up honeymoon...but it will not be the same...as we'll have been married for awhile and it won't be our relaxing time after our stressful week leading up to the wedding.

I know...that if this is the worst thing to happen to me then I am lucky..and I know that God stopped us from going for a reason...but I can't help but be a little bit angry that I didn't get that honeymoon I've always dreamed of...

Anyway..

Thanks for letting me vent a bit...I"m going to head to bed...One Day left of this week!!

WHOOP!!!

Well its official...

I know I KNOW I've been gone forever! Wedding planning, moving and the new job took a toll on me!

The wedding went super well! Just how I wanted everything was great!

I'm sure someone had to fix something that day, but as far as I'm concerned it could not have went better.

Now we are on to living married life.

Talking about what to do with our bills, who pays what, etc.

and the latest question....

Should B apply for Emirates Airline...any thoughts on this does anyone out there know anything about them or Dubai?? Comments please!!!

Thanks,

Really lady you are S-T-U-P-I-D!

2010-03-27T21:12:00.003-05:00

Yes I spelled it out..we don't say that word in our house!!!

So the radio station I listen to some mornings has this thing called "Open Mic Line", they let callers call in and vent or say whatever and it goes on air. Well yesterday morning I hear this lady call in and this is what she says:

"yeah, this is for the other lady that called Obama the anti-Christ, why should health insurance not be a law, you are required by law to have car insurance...isn't your body more important than your car?"

SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes your body is more important than your car...but frankly stupid lazy lady, I don't care what you do with your body. I do however care if you rear-end me while I'm sitting at a red light and you don't have car insurance. That affects me, and that my dear, is why car insurance is required by law. In another incident if you broke your arm because you were jumping on a trampoline or whatever, that does not affect me. I am not out anything because your lazy butt fell and got hurt. If you rear-end me I am out the damage to the car and to my body because I was following traffic laws and stopping at a red light.

Do you see the difference???

As someone who works in health care and receives health care, I do believe that there needs to be some health care reform. What Obama proposed and S-T-U-P-I-D I-D-O-I-T-S in Washington passed this week IS NOT IT!!!!!!!!! This will not help our country...you really think that the doctors who paid Thousands of $$ to go to school to provide, you the general public, with that health care are going to continue to work like they have been? Um no...its not that simple. Yes, they chose to go into that profession and I chose mine, but if we all sat around and were lazy like Rod in Norwood (he is another frequent caller on another radio station..BTW he doesn't report his income to the IRS..he runs a daycare..would not trust this man with my pet rock!),who just continues to make babies with his "woman" yet the only reason he can afford to have those babies is because of the government, there would be NO MONEY in the system for your babies, then what would you do??

(no i don't really have a pet rock but if I didn't...I would not Rod watch it.)

Excuse me but I think it is stupid that I have to pay for someone to have 6 or 7 children, because they can't afford their hospital bills...have we heard of SEX EDUCATION??

I'd understand if you didn't know where babies come from for the first child...but really after 6 we should have this figured out okay!!!

And another thing!

Since I really can't change the world...when am I going to see some of the benefits I'm working so hard to give money to?

Cash for clunker appliances?...we just bought a new washer and dryer...because we didn't have one at all...but we can't get that benefit because you have to be REPLACING an existing unit. We could have went non-energy star right? we didn't...

The new home buyer tax-credit/existing-homeowner tax credit: well we can't have that A) B owns a condo..not a new home buyer...and B has only owned that condo for 3 years...not the required 5..

And the New Student Loan cap thing..that was passed with the stupid Obama care bill...doesn't start until 2014..I'm not sure on this..but I don't think passed graduates will qualify...I'm thinking..it will take effect then for current college graduates...does anyone know??

I'm going to leave you now with one more thing, an email I received..that is a true story:

Obamanomics 101

This man is truly a genius!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single

student before, but had once failed an entire class.
That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".
All grades would be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade so no one would fail and no one would receive an A...
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B.
The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied

hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.
The second test average was a D!

No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.
All failed, to their great surprise, and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.

Could not be any simpler than that.
(Please pass this on)

Remember, there is a mid-term election in 2010!

If you didn't figure it out.. i got put on crutches this week!

I went to the gym last week and had the desire to run..(not sure why..i don't get this desire very often) but anyway I did..and then...i put to much stress on my knee and now have a stress fracture on my tibia. This Means I am Non-weight Bearing!!!

For those of you who don't know..I'm an xray tech...and the main xray tech in the OR..meaning I do lots of standing and walking and bending and moving for my job..crutches and xray techs do not mix...(well when the patient is on the that is a different story) So..I've been reduced to a desk job...this past week i spent my time making charts..meaning I put stickers on manilla folders...yes what a way to use my knowledge. Then again, I'm so grateful that they found a place that i can still work! However, yesterday my boss told me that because I was to good at what i do..they had run out of things for me to do..so I was told to take today off...however I haven't been at my job the amount of days need to get paid time off...but they really like me there i guess because she talked to HR and got it okay'd to give me PTO!! Woop Woop...and they have found more work for me so that is good...

B kept telling me to slack off more...and be lazy but seriously i'm driven...i can't!

Wedding plans are coming along just great! thing i think are working out..we'll se in the end...

we found our bands! Got great deals on them too!!! like 1500 off on mine!! Woop WOOP considering we looked all over for a band i liked this is amazing!!!

Um..in other news...if we can get our spending under control...and by we i mostly mean me..we can get a house...working on getting a new credit card with 0% apr and 0% on balance transfers...so that will help..then i'm closing the rest!...well at least the old navy one..even though i love that one...they send you rewards cash for free clothes!! CoME ON!!!...gonna be hard to give that up!

IN other other news...B has applied with a airline..corporate...would be an awesome job..so we are praying for that...

and the best news of all...

I'm going to go to heaven...and I'm sure of that...Because I have accepted God has my savior...here is the thing...Mark Cahill spoke at Church last week...(he is awesome and got my heart burning for the Lord)
He is this guy who just goes up to the strangers and asks them about God...I'm still working on getting the courage to that...until then...I'll hide behind my blog...But readers..I care about your souls..and If you want to go to Heaven the ONLY way is through HIM!!

Ok...i said my piece!

What....it has been a year???

2009-12-27T20:54:00.002-06:00

Its been almost a year since B popped the question! Crazy to think of it that way! I can't believe how fast things this year have gone! I've had so much to look forward to so I feel like it shouldn't have gone this fast...we are in the home stretch to the wedding...less than 5 months! Can you believe it?!

I can not!

I have a crazy amount left to do!!! I've never done this before and I'm doing it on my own with bits of help from future MIL and my own mom. Yet my mom likes to say "whatever you want", not giving me her own opinion! So MIL has been great!!!

If there were any details at your weddings, or weddings you've been to that i could have possibly over looked...please please comment!! Let me know!!! I"m in need of guidance!!!

Other than then final touches on the wedding..my job is still going great and I'm really beginning to learn the Cincinnati area. I got myself from work to the airport last week without the GPS!!! Talk about awesome!!!! And I had only been that way once before, back in October!

Anyway!!!

I'm off to bed!!!

I hope all had an amazingly merry Christmas and a Blessed new year!!!

Why can't crew planning understand that people have lives and sometimes they have to make plans that can't be changed??

Yes...I realize other people have plans then too...but seriously...i can't wait until the month before my planned wedding date to plan it...

Well I could if we believed in going to the JOP...but we are christians...so we don't...we NEED to get married in a church!!!

Dear veteran/active duty: its because of you I live the life I live...thank you for my freedom!!!!

It was the SOLDIER not the the Reporter who gave you the freedom of the press.It was the SOLDIER not the poet you gave you the freedom of speech.It was the SOLDIER not the Campus Organizer who gave you the freedom to demomstrate.It was the SOLDIER not the the lawyer who gave youthe right to a fair trial.And it's the SOLDIER who salutes the FLAG, serves under the FLAG, whos coffin is draped by the FLAG and yets allows a protester to destroy HIS FLAG.Only the dead have seen the end of War.Freedom belongs to those who have the courage to defend it."~Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom!

I don't know if I can do this...

2009-11-02T18:44:00.002-06:00

As I sit and reflect on my day, the only thought that comes to mind is " do i want to do this the rest of my life?" Do I want to be the girl that has to bring her kids to church all alone because my hubby is working, do I want to be the girl who can't seem to please her MIL. The girl who is all alone in this big strange city! I don't like this! I got an invite today for the holiday party at my new work. It is on a Friday so will B be able to make it, doubtful!

I'm kind of sick of this being all alone shit! and excuse my language but I'm bothered! I was rear-ended last week on my way to my 2nd day of work, and ended up having to go to the ER after work because my back hurt so fricken bad! I couldn't help but thing if it wasn't for B i would be in this stupid town having this happen to me all alone! I hate going to the ER alone. Doctor's visits I can do, but the ER in a new town...sucks..especially when I can't find them damn place.

And...I'm probably going to have to spend Christmas here, with his family, without him. It's not that I don't like his family, its just his traditions are not mine, and he won't even be here! I don't want to spend Christmas with his family, without him.

Anyway work is still going great, I had my first day in the OR today, and it wasn't so bad. I didn't actually run the C-Arm I just observed but still it was okay.

I think after all this stupid crying and feeling sorry for myself, I'm going to go get some ice cream.

but not at the Dairy Queen because THIS STUPID TOWN DOESN'T HAVE A DAIRY QUEEN!!!! EXCUSE ME BUT WHAT THE F! How can a girl survive without a DQ?

My first day of work was yesterday! It was awesome!!! I met someone famous...of course I can't tell you who. (That would be a HIPPA violation and I would lose my license!) Anyway for it being my first day, that was neat! I had today off, I woke up, got out of bed, and was sad because I didn't have to go to work. I'm looking forward to going to tomorrow though. I'll be doing mostly the OR rotation. Which will be okay since I'll get lots of experience and then will rock that C-ARM!!! Wippie! Go me!!!

Wedding plans are coming along! I found the Gap Clearnce Store. This, my friends, it the real Gap Outlet. Also includes Banana Republic and Old Navy! I got some sweet favors there, two for 26 cents!!! Talk about crazy good deal!!! Yet, I keep having to make trips to go get them as they only let you buy 10 of a style at a time. I'm getting there!

Oh.. and have you heard of zappos?

I ordered shoes from them last night. (10:34pm) Free shipping! They upgraded me to overnight for FREE!!! The UPS knocked on the door at like 10:36 am with my shoes this morning!!! I'm so excited!!! Yet I had to exchange them, as they are to narrow. I called them and they made me a VIP!!!

Check them out!

Alright.

Well I need to see if my MIL will help me with my pants that I'm bringing to get altered. I also need to pack a lunch and figure out what I'm going to wear to work tomorrow.

So!!! Who wants to hear about my past month?? Sorry I've been slacking, the whole not having internet at my apartment thing, made it hard to think about posting.

Things that have happened:

I GRADUATED!!!! I walked at graduation, got a signed diploma-Aug 21

Then I had to spend two more weeks making up clinical time! Let me tell you, that was hard!!!! It was really hard to not let senior-itis hit when I already had the diploma!!!

However in order to take my boards, I had to make up the time! So I had to go!!!...yuck

The last week I was at school I stayed with one of the x-ray techs, and her four kids (6, 2, 18months, 6months)...that was crazy!!! It was so fun though, much better than an apartment all by myself!!

I've been at my parents house the last week. Working on getting rid of stuff!

I'm a pack rat...however, I'm moving to Ohio! So I don't want to take all that crap with me!!! BUY NEW!!! *wink*

We met with the pastor yesterday, looked at wedding bands, met with the cake man, the wedding planner...and today we took engagement pictures! B and I have had a productive week...

We are leaving my parent's house Saturday morning for a wedding, dinner with the family in MSP Sunday, Taking my boards, seeing the TMJ doctore and trying on my wedding dress on Monday...Hitting the road to Ohio on Tuesday AM!!!

Speaking of the wedding dress...We also picked out bridesmaid, jr bridesmaid and flower girl dresses this past month, and B figured out the tuxes yesterday! We are on a roll!!!!

I'm really into working on wedding things at the moment! So I'm excited to get out to Ohio and get my wedding table set up! To PLAN PLAN PLAN!!!

Oh yeah, I suppose, I'll also need to find a job!!! A few apps are still out in limbo! I'm applying to all I see as far as X-Ray goes!

Hopefully after Monday I can say....

My Mind...

2009-06-22T17:18:00.002-05:00

and the things that are on it...

I had an awesome shopping day with my BFF (and MOH) T. We hit the mall hard! Pretty sure the check cards were smoking...and I'm also pretty sure, I'll never be allowed near a coach store with her again...We were not good on the whole NO thing.

We just talked and shopped and drove and ate, and it was good.

Its 92 degrees here today...I sat out in the sun for a bit, but then the sun went behind the building so I went shopping. I had to get my oil changed and some things at target. Then I was super hot..wanted something cold to drink. I got a Arctic Rush from DQ...the last time I had one they were still called a Mr. Misty. Then I wanted something to eat. So I went to the near by Subway. All I wanted was a turkey round. Hmm, the last time I had been to a subway they still had round sandwhiches, they don't anymore. I don't usually like subway. I'll take Panear or Erbs and Gerbs over subway any day, but the idea of a round turkey was really appealing, so I went. They did not have! So I got a 6 inch. Okay, but not the same!

B and I had a good weekend the little bit we were together, talked about the invite situation, kind have it figured out. We also figured out our cake topper. So that is good!

Best of all I got him to go to the MOA on a Saturday! Granted we only went to Macy's and it was for him (us in the long run), but he still stepped foot inside MOA! We got linens for his place. He is getting ready to put his condo on the market, so we went to get nice linens to make his room and bathroom look nicer. They are very comfy! and pretty! The best part: we agreed on them! So now our guest bedroom will have linens. We are planning on getting a King bed that is why we can't use them for our room. Also! He saved like 300 some dollars on them! As they were on the clearance rack!

AWESOME!!

I better go do some homework and get packed up school tomorrow.

Another Wedding Question

2009-06-14T18:58:00.002-05:00

Another thing I'm working on trying to figure out how to make is a boarding pass. I'm going to have a seating chart at the wedding and want to have the tables numbered and the seats letter, like on an airplane.

So...

I want my guests to pick up a boarding pass off the table to find their spot, but I"m not quite sure where to start....does any one have any ideas???

HELP!!!!

Thanks

I need your thoughts...

2009-06-14T18:03:00.009-05:00

These are the wedding ideas I've been working on this weekend...

The Invites:

What do you think?

The centerpieces:

Rocks:

Sand and Candles:

Close Up:

The black sheet of paper with the airplane cut out will really be the table number. They will look like the invite; only have a number over them on the vellum instead of the writing for the invites.

Do you like them? Rocks or Sand? What look looks more fancy?

Or should I just stick to flowers? Do you have any other ideas for the wording? I need quotes about love with not a lot of words as the cri-cut doesn't like to cut that many words as they would have to be really small

2009-06-11T16:01:00.001-05:00

Some people suck!!!!!!

Made IT!!!

2009-06-09T20:16:00.002-05:00

I got on the first fly today...which is funny since it was a CRJ, and B is always saying how hard is it to get on them...Anyway I made it back for class! I am running on little sleep, but I thought maybe someone out there in bloggy world would like to know I made it!

I bought a lot of supplies to start working on for the wedding! Maybe I'll post some pictures this weekend of all the fun ideas my mom and I have.

Anyway!

The Marriage Thing

2009-05-29T10:01:00.002-05:00

If we did it, got married with a JOP just for now to keep the benefits, I could also get on his insurance which I think is a better deal then my parent's insurance.

But then how does that change things for taxes, student loans, etc. This is my last semester of school, and right now my parents still claim me.

I don't know how that affects things, I guess.

Anyway if you know let me know thanks!

I NEED ONE!!!!

B is in OHIO...not MN...

B will potentially be working all weekend...like normal lately.

So I'm here...online...if your bored...msg me...MSN: butt3rflie1113...

Funny thing, you (my reader) probably have a family and life...but if you are bored like me...haha u know!

ALSO....B's airline is taking away my travel benefits in July.....should we get married earlier with a JOP just to keep them..?? Leave a comment!! Let me know!!

Weight Restrictions!

2009-05-28T16:27:00.001-05:00

Well I'm most likely out of clincials for 6 weeks....

This means

I now have 4 day weekends

I can't not work either

I won't graduate on time...

I will need to make up 6 weeks of clincials...

YUCK!!!!!!!

Heading to B's...not that he is there, but hey he has television...sorta...

Anything fun going on in MSP this weekend???

Off to pack and head south...

Do you know that when you see a pilot, he's not being paid?

2009-05-25T17:08:00.001-05:00

As I was cleaning out my inbox I spotted this email I received awhile ago, I thought I would share:

When you see a pilot going through the same security you go through, he's not being paid.

When you see a pilot walking in the terminal, he's not being paid.

When you see a pilot at the gate pulling up paper work, planning the flight, and conferring with the agent, he's not being paid.

When you see a pilot walking around the aircraft doing a preflight inspection, he's not being paid.

When you board the aircraft and look in the cockpit and see the pilots setting up the aircraft, they're not getting paid.

When you land safely at your destination and walk off the aircraft and see the pilots shutting down the aircraft, they're not being paid.

When you see a pilot waiting for a ride to a hotel for the night, he's not being paid.

The only time the pilot of your aircraft is getting paid is when you DON"T see him... when he's locked behind the cockpit door as you push back from the gate. Every thing else he does until this point is for free. For no wages. Nothing!

The average airline pilot is at work for 12- 14 hours per day, yet gets paid for less than 6 - 7 hours.

The average airline pilot is away from home, at work, for 70+ hours a week, yet gets paid for only 15 to 18 hours per weeks work.

Most pilots schedules have them working 15 days or more a month... that means they are not at home half the month.

Holidays, weekends, birthdays, anniversaries, summer vacations.... not at home.

A majority of pilots have 4 year college degrees, or more. Then they begin training as pilots.

A large majority of Pilots have spent 8 years or more flying in the military, risking their lives and protecting your freedom for wages most of you wouldn't accept in the civilian world.

Civilian trained pilots have spent $50,000 or more to acquire the training that qualifies them for a Regional Airline job, which pays a wage less than the poverty level in most western countries.

Most pilots do not attain the required experience level to be hired by a major airline until they are well passed the age of 30. The average age of a new hire airline pilot is 32.

Airline pilots are required to retire at the age of 60. This gives most of them less than 28 years to maximize their income and fund their pensions, hoping that greedy airline execs won't steal it.

Airline pilots are subject to random drug and alcohol testing, any time they are at work. Fail it and they lose their job.

Airline pilots are required to undergo rigorous re-training and certification every 6 to 9 months, at which time they could fail and lose their jobs, licenses and livelihood. ;

Airline pilots are required to submit to random government "Line checks" during which their license could be revoked and livelihood destroyed.

Airline pilots are exposed to radiation levels far exceeding the normal safe radiation limits mandated by the FDA.

Airline pilots are required to submit to a government medical examination every 6 months (Captains) and 12 months as First Officers. Year after year. Fail that, and their career is over.

How many of you go to work where people try to kill you? How many of you have had your office turned into a cruise missile? How many of you work behind a bullet proof door?

How many of you are responsible for the lives of 200- 300 people, with any small mistake in your performance resulting in the death of your customers (and yourselves), and the financial destruction of your company?

How many of your jobs require you to fight your way through thunderstorms, rain, snow, ice and turbulence, day and night, year after year? No mistakes allowed? The excuse " I had a bad day at work" never accepted?

Many pilots volunteer (on their own time and own dime) to be trained as Federal Flight Deck Officers, and carry weapons to defend their aircraft, crew and passengers. They maintain their proficiency and qualifications twice a year on their own time and money.

How many of you go to work where you are searched, patted down and your personal items scrutinized by strangers, even though you can kill everyone in your place of work with your two bare hands?

Airline pilot pay scales and hours worked are usually posted by absurdly overcompensated Airline Exec's who are waging a PR campaign against their Pilot Unions and trying to justify their own greedy bonus's and draconian wage and pension cuts. Cheap a** airline passengers just love this s*** since they don't care if their airplane is flown by the lowest denominator, as long as they can fly for next to nothing. Course if they don't get to their destination, their next of kin can sue....

Surgery went okay however in lots of pain still in bed

Relationships

2009-05-20T17:12:00.002-05:00

So, first of all I need to state something: I am no expert in relationship including my own. Secondly, my relationship is not perfect, but really is any relationship perfect?

Now that I have stated that I received an email a few days ago asking me, How I could possibly have dated a pilot for three years, how did I make it work?

You ( the reader) did not know me three years ago, when B went off to ground school. We had been dating for a little over six months at that point. We had seen each other 3-4 days aweek! All of a sudden I saw him 2-3 times that summer! Not only that but he had no time for me. His after class time was spent studying or out with the class. AND! I lived with two other girls, (bless their hearts, i miss them and love them dearly) who had boyfriends, they saw everyday, and I saw almost daily. Makes it rough!

We had a lot of fights that summer, over my not being a priority. Realize will you that this is before his flight benefits kicked in.

I complained a lot, to him, to myself, probably to every one I met!

Then school started up again for me, and he had flight benefits, but was on reserve. (for those not in the know: he as "on-call", he had to be an hour and half from the airport, not farther, I lived four hours away. Sometime even had to be on ready reserve meaning at the airport ready to go.) This also meant he was the low man on the pole! The worst schedules! He had to work every weekend, while I was in school therefore his days off I had classes. Again...fights happened. We broke up once even! Granted five minutes later I called him back and asked him to take me back. I always did the initiating of those fights and break-ups. I think he, not that he would admit it, but understood where I was coming from and knew I needed to yell a bit.

Then he got higher on the list, much better schedules! I saw him almost every weekend!

Then...he got custody of A. Who has to live out of state with B's parents due to B being a pilot. This meant, days off where spent out of state with A. Not with me.

This caused a lot of stress on me. 1) Mad because I'm not seeing B. 2) Mad at myself for being mad that B was with his son, and not me. 3) Tension due to 1 and 2 between B and myself.

Yet at this point B was still able to hold an okay schedule that I'd get a few days a month with him.

Then, (this is now last summer) B choose to upgrade to captian...putting him last on the list again..shitty schedules and reserve.

We are still at that point. I've seen B twice in the last two months, and from my last posts you can tell that we've rarely talked on the phone even.

I'm not sure how we've made it, really I'm not.

I know I love him. I know I've loved him since day one. (what can I say...a man who opens the doors for me and pays for my dinner, is all it took! The few boys before him...not great!)

I know its taken alot of work, on both our parts...I've had to grow a lot. I've had to become more accepting. He had to grow as well. We've grown as a couple.

I think you really just have to step back at times, regroup, as an old friend would say, take a breath.

There are others out there for have been doing this longer than me, but I know that the reasons we've said together are Love and Trust. I trust him whole heartedly and I love him with my whole heart.

I think when someone is the right person for you, you just know it. And if something is worth anything to you, you will do whatever it takes to keep that thing around. For me that thing is B. I'll do anything to keep him in my life. I think it also helps that we both have a huge faith in the Lord above. Without him nothing is possible, thats my feelings.

Have I helped at all?

I'm just rambling now...anyway I'll do better about being on my msn so if you wanna chat there we can, anyone.

Just remember there are others out there going through what you are going through.

Also if its meant to be it will be.

Okay....well there you have it...I'm going to go check out a few other blogs now..

If things work out....

2009-05-13T15:40:00.003-05:00

GRR... I'm so ticked right now!!!

I got my hopes up, B had said that he might be able to come see me tonight, instead he is going to see A. Not a big deal, if that were the only thing.

All are phone conversations lately have added up to about five minutes a day, since I saw him the week of his brother's wedding, which was in April.

I was suppose to spend Sunday night with him, he had to work, again not a big deal, but that was the only planned time of seeing him the whole month of May.

I'm having surgery next Friday, again, not a big deal, I would just like to see him prior, just in case!

He has the nerve to say to me today, he might make it to my graduation, this Saturday morning. If things work out. Realize he is on reserve Friday night and Saturday night, and every other flipping time we schedule to see each other. Or he gets himself extended.....I'M SO SICK OF THIS!!!!

I can not wait until the day when he goes home, to see A, I will also be at that home, because it will be our home. Its been let down after let down this month.

Even in April at the wedding we barely had time together, he was a groomsman and I had to take care of A, and it was event after event after event the whole time.

I think it would all be better if we could talk on the phone, like talk talk, not "i thought I'd call quick because I'm on a maintenance delay, but I gotta call my mom now." or " I'm sorry I feel asleep and I'm going to just go back to bed, good night, I Love You" I realize that I'm lucky we get that little bit, its just hard.

In happier news: I'm walking at graduation on Saturday and only 100 more days until I'm officially board ready!!! Hopefully also 100 days until full time work...or maybe 105, so I have time to move and take the exam!

Wedding planning is in full swing again lately. I'm meeting with the florist on Friday. The guest list: 425 eek!!! I think the place only holds 400! And I still have people to add, so I'm going to have to subtract people!

I plan on getting more things figured out when I'm at my parent's home recovering from surgery, the Gall Bladder is coming out on May 22!!

I also found out that I need to have my TMJ looked at. B if you are reading this, now you know. I haven't had a chance to tell you that. That appt is in the cities on June 22 :D at least its covered with my great insurance :D

Anyway, I think I'm going to clean, this place is a pig st ye! My mom would tell you that I'm not over reacting, it would have been considered a pig st ye to her months ago! :D

My old stomping grounds...

2009-03-27T20:49:00.004-05:00

So for the most part I keep a lot of who I am secret, if you are an avid reader of my blog, you know this.

However I'm freaking out tonight about what is going on in the town in which I use to live. Where I go to school...when I'm not at this internship. When I wake up tomorrow it could all be under water. I have this terrible feeling about it all. If you have been living under a rock the last week.. Fargo, ND is about to flood. Along with all the areas along the Red River. (Fact: the red river flows north, I'm amazed by how many times I've heard people say that they didn't know that, living where I live now. THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT! For more information see here) Anyway, back to why I'm freaking out..my brother has chosen to say and help his buddies. I have this feeling in my gut, that I can't shake. I've gotten this feeling before a few times. Turns out it usually means something. The last time I had one this strong, we had three trauma codes in one night. I've gotten it almost every trauma code that as come in. I don't think its breaking HIPAA to say that our hospital has taken in some of the evacuees from the hospital in Fargo that closed. So we are already hopping with extra patients, probably just because they all came at the same time. All our doctors have new patients, that they don't know that much about, so LOTS of tests are being ordered.

That's a lot of rambling going on there...sorry...I just can't stop thinking about all the people I know up there, who I don't know if they are safe. Have they lost their house? All their memories? Their pets? This happens, the red floods every year...but not to the extend of breaking records. So I'm use to that...its just the extent...people aren't leaving, LEAVE!!! Get out...get your memories together, not your things, and GO!!!

Oh and my brother is was half way home, because you see, this F/M area is just where we go to school. So he is half way home and his friend calls, another friend needs help getting his house ready. So my parents told my brother to do what he had to. HE TURNED AROUND!!! Now I know that I'm being selfish, but this thing in my gut, this feeling that is rocking me to my soul, wants him out of there!!! I want home, safe and sound. I also am very proud of my little brother, for being so caring and helpful. I just hope he stays smart about it all.

Okay, so after writing that last sentence, I had to call my brother to tell him I love him and to also tell him I'm proud of him. He told me he loved me too, in front of all his buddies, he has done that before, and that makes me even more proud of the man he is growing up to be. My dad also called to tell me that my brother is safe, turns out he is staying with a family and father is on the police force for Moorhead, so I would think that L, my brother, is safe.

I think its time to go read my bible, as I need some guidance.

Wow, a lot has happened since my last post.

For those of you looking for wedding updates scroll past this first section:

Updates to my last post:

I wanted to comment on a comment I received after my last post, but before I do Thank you to everyone for the comments!!! I love reading what other people feel. I just wish there was a better way for me to reply back to you.

Anyway I just got a comment today, and it made me want to clarify something.

If B and I were married right now, I would have understood his frustration. I wouldn't have talked about the golf lessons with my dad. I would have discussed them with B, due to our money being OUR money. Right now, at this stage in life, MY money is MY money, B's money is B's money, and my dad's money is MY DADS.

However, after a long fought battle that night, I told B I would ask my dad if he thought it was a smart idea, or if I should try return the money. Because $13o could really be used elsewhere right now in my life. Like Rent or my wedding fund.

So my dad and I agree that if they would let me return them I would, and B and I agreed that if I still like golf, after actually golfing on a course, he and I would take lessons. Later in life, when we can afford them.

Wedding updates:

I sent the check off to the DJ to book them so that is done. woohoo!

However, the biggest update yet:

i found THE, THE, THE, dress.

I'm super excited about it, I had my camera with me all week and was showing it to everyone at the hospital!

Sorry, I can't post a picture, B sometimes reads this.

Its super pretty, and people have been telling me its flattering, so that's a plus. And I feel really pretty and comfortable in it.

I didn't exactly get the whole "ahhhhhh" moment (like when angels appear and light shines on you because heaven as opened up) but I didn't want to take it off, and I couldn't stop smiling, but when I took it off and tried on other dresses nothing compared. I wanted nothing more than to put the other dress on. So I did, and stood in in for a very long time, I'm planning on going back in a few weeks with T (MOH) because she couldn't make it that day, and well, lets face, I want to put it on again and again! That is when I'm going to order it.

It was a very fun day, and I need to say thank you to my aunts J and L and my friend M for coming, as well as my mom for traveling all over the state to help me find the dress!!!!

Another super fun thing happened that day: my aunt J asked if she could make my veil! I started crying at the moment! I'm going to get my dream veil for $215 less than it would be to buy it at the store. :D Thanks again J!!!!

Anyway, I had a long night. I went out to dinner and movie with a new friend it was awesome! and I work at 6am so I'm off to bed...

Argh!

2009-02-25T20:47:00.002-06:00

So...B and I are currently in a disagreement...

like right now, I hung up on him a few minutes ago, and we're talking through text, I'm fuming!!!

I've been taking golf lessons, tonight was my last night :(

I've really been enjoying them, and my instructor told me I was a natural!

I golfed a little bit back before Jr. High, never nothing serious, Just golf camp! So I really was learning fresh. So there was a deal tonight, that if you signed up for lessons, you could get additional 250 min of range time. I actually got 350 I'm sure.

Anyway, I talked to the instuctor, he said that as well as I've done these last four weeks in a group setting that lessons, would be a really good idea. Yes, I know he was selling them, that is his job after all. Anyway, I had actually just tonight looked at my money situation, and I'm thinking I'm not going to be able to pay rent by the end of the year, so I didn't think I should get these lessons.

However, I called my dad. Asked him about it, told him the rent situation. He said he would pay for them. So I got them. I didn't pout when asking I just simply said I was wondering if what he thought about getting them.

Now B is mad at me because it was a waste of money and excess spending.

I don't see why it really should be any of his business at this point.

A) we aren't married

B) its not his money

C) its my dad's

D) I've found something I'm really starting to enjoy, and am getting the hang of

E) its an outlet for my pent up energy

F) Its a stress reliever,

and

G) ITS SOMETHING FOR ME! not for anyone else.

I don't get it.

I know I like to buy things, I get that. I've cut back a lot on the shopping, I also get that I'm getting married in about a year. But I don't see why if my dad said yes, I should feel guilty about talking to him about it.

Anyway I think I'm going to go look over somethings for school

So, tonight was my third night of golf lessons, we learned about the swing.

Before class I tried to practice a bit, not really sure what I was doing. I hit the ball just a few times, and not very far.

As we got done with the classroom bit, I was feeling more confident.

We hit the dome.

I hit the back wall!!! Not the first time and not all the time.

But I did get my ball to go in the air all the way to the wall!!! Most of the time I got it to go half way to 3/4 of the way to the wall. It was pretty fun, and I beginning to think I've found a new hobby. :D

Another crazy thing that has been happening, I've getting phone calls from 2 different weird phone numbers, at all random times of the day. Weird because there is an extra digit!

I'm going to publish these numbers, because these people are ticking me off! SOME PEOPLE LIKE TO SLEEP AT 4 AM!!! Plus, when I call the numbers back, I get an "incorrect number or code" message!

These calls started Saturday Morning at 3 am which I slept through I guess, they let me sleep on Sunday. Monday I got one at 6am woke me up. And in the afternoon missed in, during clinicals. Tuesday 4 AM! Woke me, kept me awake for an hour, then I finally got to sleep, for 30 min, then I had to get up. Today again at 630 am, 730, 11, 130. ANNOYING!!!

Oh and when I actually answered the phone calls, they hung up a few seconds after I said Hello, or who is this?

Okay here goes,

If you recognize these numbers please get me the people's info or tell them to leave me alone!!!

2 521 592 5146

2 526 274 0773

B just called, he had been talking to Sprint about these calls, they can't block them. There is nothing they can do....GRRRRRR

Alrighty, well

I bought some new wedding mags. today so I'm going to go look at those!!

Friends

2009-02-11T20:57:00.002-06:00

I just wanted to put a little message out there to my best friend T.

You are one of the greatest people in the world.

You mean so much more to me than I let on.

I wish I was more of a friend to you then I am at times.

I wish that you and I lived closer, so that we could spend more time together.

Most of all, I'm so happy that you will be standing next to me as my parents give me away, as I become a wife and a mother.

I can't imagine anyone else I'd want right there next to me then you.

We've had our rocky times, and we've had smooth sailing. At the times, I hated those rocky moments, I have now grown to see that those reasons are why we are so close, why we are who we are.

T. Thank you for always being someone I can count on!

My eyes were opened again today, and every moment like these I've dealt with make me realize how great of a friend I have in you. I just wanted you to know I appreciated it!

Wedding question:

2009-02-08T12:59:00.002-06:00

I've been researching and I can't find an answer to this question, so I thought I'd pose it to you all.

Is there a certain role for godparents in a wedding? The only thing I can find is for hispanic weddings. I'm not hispanic and neither is B. So what would the role be in our Christian wedding? Any advice??

Thanks!

We booked our Church and our reception sites this week. I'm finally feeling excited about getting married again. Not again as in second marriage, as in I wasn't excited last week, due to stresses! HAHA

I also got my flower situation taken care of, my old boss is going to do them at raw material cost. So that is pretty cool! I'm heading to the cities tonight to see B :D I'm really excited about that, didn't get to see him last weekend due to being hospitalized. All is well, swollen lymph nodes, not appendicitis like they were thinking. They cause pains every now and again, but I'm learning to live with them.

My parents are actually coming down as well to go to a wedding anniversary, so my mom and I are going to look at wedding dresses this weekend. Super exciting!!!!

Anyway that is what is new in my world.

I hope all is well with you my loyal readers!

Change of Plans

2009-01-11T22:45:00.003-06:00

Well in the last week our wedding as gone from

March 2010 in AZ to

April 2010 in Minnesota (the Cities) to

May 2010 in The Cities.

Lots of changes have happened.

It finally hit me that really important people wouldn't be able to make it to MY big day, and I would NEED them there! So I thought about it, talked to my MOH, talked to my mom and dad, and finally got to talk to B, due is trip he was in air when the major epiphany happened. He was totally okay with it, understanding about my need to have people there, making it a big wedding, due to the size of my dad's family (part of the needed ones). Ii couldn't believe how quickly he agreed. He didn't even think about it for more than 5 secs. He even said, get this, ITS YOUR WEDDING! haha I thought that was awesome, and I hope he remembers he said that when we have another issue, i NEED! I did tell him I want him to feel like it is his, as well.

Oh yeah another thing that has happened in the last week, I told my mom to back-off leave me alone, and now we are better!

She still isn't in the plans, like she doesn't know we are going to look at a place tomorrow. I feel bad for that, but I can't handle the freak outs. Nothing will be a go without her seeing it and being talked to about it.

And we are going to the bridal show next week, I'm super excited for that! I finally get to show my rents and my MOH, my ring. That will be fun! Anyway I'm freezing B had his thermostat set at 65, since he has been gone, so my fingers are frozen and I can't type well any more. So I'm heading to bed. Just wanted to check in.

2009-01-05T11:20:00.002-06:00

Just landed from Ohio. Things are super weird. I look at my finger and there is a ring on it! OK, its a stange adjustment.

And the planning....umm NO PLANS set in stone! My mom wants me to get married in my church. B doesn't want a big wedding, he wants a destination. My dad wants a cheap one and I just want one filled with love! Maybe fancier than not, but not to break the pocketbook!

My mom called me like 75 times in the last four days about the wedding and that I was planning it without her and what not. We hardly talked about anything B and I. So it was annoying!!!

I'm not sure how to plan a wedding! I have no clue where to start. Then adding a destination on it, yikes! I want to get married somewhere I've been before the actual date! We are thinking AZ, I'm going out there in March so I'll get to look at some stuff, but I've never been there either!

Any advice and tips would be greatly accepted!!!

Ring in the new year

2009-01-01T07:12:00.005-06:00

Little did I know when I made super duper exciting plans to ring in the new year, that I would be actually RINGing in the new year.

Ladies and Gents, the name of my blog will have to change!

I am not longer a girlfriend of a regional airline pilot!

As the ball was dropping, as the clock struck 0000 I became ENGAGED!!!!

B was so romantic last night it was just the perfect night, even before he popped the question!!

I was eventually able to fall asleep last night,but I can't sleep now. Which is okay as we have to be up soon anyway to catch our flight out to his parents house. OMGoodness!!! I'm still jumping inside, I'm so excited and since I couldn't get a hold of the few people I still want to tell myself and I really want to tell someone, I told you, my fellow bloggers!

Its a beautiful day!

Happy NEW Year to you and yours. I wish you only the best in 2009!!!

2008-12-31T00:19:00.003-06:00

So I should be in bed sleeping the night away, instead I'm sitting up putting old cds I found in my closet on my computer. I'm at home. HOME HOME. I need to get up and drive to school home tomorrow to work, then to B's home after work for our new years eve night. He made reservations at a cute little resturant downtown. I'm really excited, I finally get my fancy romantic dinner!!! Only took 2 months :)

B informed me tonight, that his airline put out a memo that they are going to be displacing 30 captains. For you non airline people this means they will be putting 30 newly made captains back to a first officer position.

Now you may remember that B is a newly made captain. Luckily he is not low enough to be in the bottom 30.

However if they do this again, he most likely will be displaced as he is in the bottom 60.

Scary!!

It would be nice to have a good schedule again, but sucky pay, so I'm split as to what I would like to have happen. I'll keep ya posted!

I'm ready to leave home, I was going to this morning then I didnt' get moving in time and this wonderful mn weather, I figured I'd wait one more day!

There is a lot of tension at home these days. I'm not sure why, but when I spend to many days with my mother, I get really tense. She likes to ask questions and be in my business, that bothers me. She can't really ever sit in silence. Sometimes a girl needs quite you know? Then their computers went to crap and she doesn't really know how to use them anyway. She gets fed up with electronics very fast and doesn't take the time to learn about them. Its hard to handle, my poor dad caught the wrath tonight about not fixing the printer and la de dah. Turns out a) the printer was jammed and b) my dad had changed up the network a bit when he got his new blue ray disc player that streams netflix movies so it messed up the wireless network..easy fixes, someone just needed the time to FIX!!

Well ladies and gents, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you the best in 2009!!

I have a very long day ahead of me I must hit the hay!

This post may in fact put me out on the net as to who I really am....but please I need people to spread the word. If Gina comes home because of this post, I'll sacrifice people finding out my true identity.

Gina Anderson has been missing from northern mn for over a month now, this morning her sister was found not alive after a car accident. This poor family needs some good news, if you know of Gina's where abouts please pass them on the the local authorities or contact the website www.helpfindgina.com

Her picture is there, her information is there.

I'm really shaken up as Iuse to know her sister pretty well. I can't imagine having to go through one daughter missing and one's death.

Please help us find Gina and get her home, her family really needs her!

Again the website with all the information is : www.helpfindgina.com

A lot has changed since my last real post.

I'm a year older and I'm not longer a blonde. I just dyed my hair tonight, its now a light amber brown, according to the color!

My weight hasn't changed a whole lot, yet when I went shopping for new pants, I walked with a size 18 in the bag and a size 22 on my waist. That felt really good!

B got full legal custody of A, had I mentioned to that? That's pretty amazing! N (A's mom) did get visitation rights, so I'll get to see A more as B will have to bring him up to N.

Um... I'm not sure what all to update. I've been crazy busy with school and getting ready for thanksgiving. I work tomorrow, actually getting paid not school work so that means double time. My parent's are coming down to have t-day with me. Therefore, I had to clean!!! OMG was my apartment a mess!! Almost too embarrassing for B to be here. However, I'm really proud of it now!!

Oh yeah, I started my surgical rotation a few weeks ago. I found it really boring due to being to short to actually see any blood and guts. Also, it was boring because the xray techs are called in when the surgeon needs a picture, then we leave until needed again.

Anyway, I have a few more preparations needed to do before my parents get here so...

Sorry I've been so slow on updating!

Hmm..spread the wealth it is I guess..

WELL FYI that is not fun!!! I've been doing that all day! My car was broken into last night, and unfortently I had forgotten my wallet in the glove box. Therefore someone has been spending my hard earned money all day.

I reported and won't actually have to pay all the credit card charges, but its probably people like that, that have caused the issues all along. If you are to lazy to get your own job, to stupid to figure out there is a spare key to the car in the car. To stupid to stop trying to make charges after holds have been placed on the card, YOU ARE WHY WE HAVE TO SHARE THE WEALTH. GET A REAL JOB AND YOU'D WOULDN'T BE HAPPY SHARING THE WEALTH EITHER.

I've had the worst day, on top of everything else that has been going on lately.

2008-11-03T21:18:00.003-06:00

I'm in the mood to post, but I don't have a lot to say.

B and I had a rough patch last week, things are better, we've talked things out and have promised to work on issues.

I went to therapy today, that was alright.

One more day to election day! I'm so sick of the ads. How can Al Franken say he is better for senate because he didn't vote on the bail out bill. WELL NO SHIT AL! Last I heard you AREN'T IN OFFICE YET!!!! You can't vote for it if you aren't in the senate!!!

Also, I'm still really struggling with why people think OBAMA is so great? He is going to give money from the hard working folks to those to lazy to get off their asses?

I'm not saying McCain is really the greatest choice for President either, but really why do you think that is fair? I don't have a real job yet, but honestly I don't want your money random person making to much money. I want to work to get my own, or get married and have B's (lol!) . If that's the case and we get married and I don't have to go to a real job, I'll be a stay at home mom working my ass off anyway. Being a SAHM is a rough job I'm sure, especially when your husband is a pilot.

On another election note my aunt is up for election in MN Supreme Court Seat 4. (for you MN readers the incumbent, she doesn't necessarily share all my opinions, and when asked her political affiliation she will just tell you she is not at liberty to say, but she believes in enforcing the law, SHE DOES NOT MAKE THEM!) She would appreciate your vote!

A's bday is tomorrow! Hard to believe that little boy has been in my life for three years. He is the sweetest and most well behaved three year old I know! Its crazy to see how much he has changed in the last year since B's family has had temp. custody. B and his family go to court for custody on Thursday. I know whatever is best for A will happen, but I just hope its what is best for B and his family as well as Me. :D

My Birthday is coming up. Just an FYI, Nov. 13. I'm crazy excited for it, no plans yet, but I love my birthday.

Anyway I thought I had nothing to blog about, but I guess I did once my fingers started typing.

Pathology test tomorrow....I hope I don't fail this one too!

ALrighty!

However this shows that I'm still doing okay at making the right choices!! YIPPIE!!!

So hopefully this week the exercise with grow!!!

Recovery

2008-10-27T14:17:00.003-05:00

Thanks Jen for the support!!

B made it through surgery just fine. His appendix had not rupture so that was good. I also made it, i ran up little 5-10 min cat naps for almost 36 hours!

I had planned to call my aunt and uncle to come sit with me during B's surgery, when we knew what time it would be I was going to call. Well the hospital did not do things the way the said they would. The surgeon did not come talk to us in a few hours of being admitted like we were told. NO one told me anything! So I sat at the hospital, in the family lounge, which just had waiting room chairs, not the nice room (we found that after surgery and B was up walking with me). Finally at 7 am I called my aunt and uncle to come sit me because I was sick of sitting alone. Ten min before they got there B was told he would be taken down. So they made it I didn't sit alone while he was in surgery and recovery. It was so wonderful of them! Family is great! Anyway...

B is back home, watching TV and eating like normal. So he is doing really well. His mom is driving from his home state right now. She started yesterday afternoon. Its a long drive! So she will be here for the week for him so I can go back to school. He is doing fine though, which is good.

And as he says, He promises to never have an appendicitis again.

A new hospital!

2008-10-26T03:59:00.002-05:00

Well, I will make this kind of short, I'm killing a bit of time before heading back to the hospital. B had abdomen pain today starting at about four so we had to cancel our "anniversary" plans. Three years this coming tuesday, but tonight was suppose to be the fancy romantic get all dressed up dinner. Anyway with his pain he didn't want to go, which is fine i could tell he was really hurting. Not sick, hurting. So after bout 6 hours of pain I talked him into going to the ER. Good thing too, 15 min after getting triaged, he passed out...That is the quickest way to an ER room! After 4 hours in the ER, he has an acute appendicitis, will be having surgery soon. I just needed to come home and take out my contacts get my glasses and a few books to read tomorrow while I'm sitting there.

However, this is not the most "family" oritenated hospital ever. I come from a hospital where family is whoever the patient says it is. Therefore when I go into a room to get a patient or take an xray, I introduce myself and expain everything to everyone. People aren't really talking to me, I feel more in the way than anything else. And I'm all alone. I do not want to sit at the hospital and watch the love of my life sleep and suffer alone. And i really don't want to sit there while he is in surgery by myself! I know its nothing I know its just and appendectomy and they do those all the time, every day. But its still rough when its a loved one. And his family isn't here, I'm all he has, so...i'm struggling with the staying strong. watching him pass out and go gray was so scary! I've had patients do it so its nothing new, but when it is your loved one sitting there turning gray man it feels like the world is ending!! ANd did I mention how alone you feel??? Anyway I better start getting back, I need to call scheduling for him, Highly doubt they will want him flying tomorrow!

Anyway...just had to vent

What is Really Happening...

2008-10-23T18:48:00.003-05:00

I found this on a friend's facebook,thought I would share it!

Don't hate the media, be the media.
Don't hate the media, be the media.
Get the word out.
http://www.snopes.com/photos/military/reenlist.asp

Snopes shows it was reported, but I sure didn't see it, hear about it,or read it until now.

Largest Re-enlistment Ceremony - Ever

I'm sure you already know about this. It was shown over and over on TV, right?

OK, so maybe it wasn't shown over and over, but surely it was shown on TV at least one time, wasn't it ?
This was the largest re-enlistment ceremony ever held in military history. The ceremony was held on the 4th of July, 2008 at Al Faw Palace, Baghdad , Iraq . General David Petraeus officiated. This amazing story was ignored by the 'mainstream' media. For those who have been in the Al Faw Palace, you'll have a better appreciation of the number of people crammed around the rotunda supporting the re-enlisting soldiers.

American men and women volunteering to stay longer in Iraq, so that when we leave, the new democracy will have a chance of surviving, is the exact opposite of what the media wants you to think about Iraq. If only a bomb had killed 5 civilians in a marketplace - now that's the kind of news the media is eager to
tell you about.

A pizzeria in Chicago donated 2000 pizzas that were made and shipped to Baghdad, and were delivered on the 4th. The media did report that 2000 pizzas were sent to Iraq on July 4th... The only part they left out of the report was the event for which the pizzas were sent.
I can't help but wonder...
What would the opinion of Americans be if they weren't getting
such obviously biased 'news?'
Pass this on and we will do the work for the Media.

Well I finally had 3 days off in a row that included no plans!

For one whole month (9-2 to 10-2) I had plans everyday, somone was counting on me to something or be somewhere. Not this weekend! Well, kind of I guess. B was expecting me to be there. My mom was expecting me to get my aunt her birthday present. Other than that nothing!

B had to sit resevere all weekend. So we weren't really able to plan a whole lot ahead of time.

Yet...

I went to get the present and got it to my aunt.(I haven't seen her since before the "bet" and she thinks I've lost weight! :D)

We watch casablanca

We went to an apple orchard, which also had a winery...bought some wine :D

We went to Ikea- bought more than I had expected!

We went to the mall-bought nothing :(

We went out to dinner (good dinner, nice restaurant, bad service, got sick, up all night!)

We went to nick and norah's infinate playlist (not a bad movie, really enjoyed it)

Then I spent the night on Sunday at B's even though he was not there because I was in such a groove on the homework. So I had to get up earlier today to make it to school, but it worked!

UGI test tomorrow...urgh...I'm so sick of homework, and studying! I can't remember if I said anything, but I failed my test last week. I wasn't the only one. Only one person passed it. Anyway! I'm a bit discouraged and sick of my stupid books!!!

I should get studying! Have a good night!

Mondays...

2008-09-29T16:11:00.004-05:00

Well first of all I was thinking I needed to post because its been awhile since I've had a real post. However I had no idea what to post on, until I saw that Jen had posted a comment asking what I've been doing to lose my weight.

To be honest, I've just been trying to make better choices.

Examples

Instead of a hugh bowl of cookie dough ice cream, I'll eat smart ones chocolate fudge cookie dough sundaes. SO GOOD! But its easy to just eat the one.

Diet pops, more water, trying to through some veggies in.

The biggest change however has been an increase in activity level. I've been trying to go swimming a few times a week. I think the big help came my week on mobile xray unit. I was walking all over the hospital, and taking the stairs not the elevator. I rarely take the elevator in my building any more too.

I'm still letting myself have my treats, which I love. I'm just trying smaller portions!

So thats what I'm doing, who knows if it will help in the long run. Increase activity, and making healthier choices but still letting myself eat what I want.

So suckie week ahead of me with school work, so I need to get to the books!!

Good week to all of you!

B's Repsonse

2008-09-21T21:00:00.002-05:00

So I read him what I just posted, he said I won't get to pay the bills, because he doesn't trust me. So he is in charge of the bills, then I said I forgot the groceries, he said no that is my job too.
So now our kids and I could be without food for weeks at a time, hmm sounds like abuse. Good thing I'll have my own job, so I can have some money..hmm...

B would also like me add that I'm a psycho Blogger....

Anyway....How do your families handle it???

My "wifely" duties...

2008-09-21T20:42:00.002-05:00

So I just learned what my life will be like should B and I get married.
I will be in charge of household chores, he will be in charge of yardwork. This doesn't seem to fair considering he is in a career that could have him gone for weeks at a time. Am I suppose to just let the yard to to hell in a handbasket until he gets back? Probably not...therefore my REAL duties....
My own job
Our Children
Bills
Dishes
Cleaning the house, I hope its going to be small due to it is my duty!
Laundry, umm is there such thing as paper clothes?
Other things, I'm not a wife yet, nor have I ever been so I'm not sure what else is included.
PLUS the YARD WORK...
Then when he gets home, he wants "down" time.
I'm not sure how your pilots, if you have a pilot, are on trips, but mine likes to go out if the overnight is long enough.
Therefore while I'm doing all this yard work, he will be out partying?...sound fair?
Then when he gets home he gets more "down"time ?? When will it be my turn for "down" time??
Hmm, I'm not sure I want this life? I want help around the house...hmm...what to think?

I'm wound up

2008-09-17T21:19:00.007-05:00

Not a lot is new here.

Really stressed with most of life.

What a Day

2008-09-17T21:19:00.006-05:00

I have a list of things to mention:

schoolwork
clinicals
B
neighbors
weigh in day

When I got home today the list of homework due tomorrow sunk in.

It seemed to be up to my ears that list.

I got it done though. I sat down and pushed through!

(There talked about schoolwork)

Clinicals were tough today, I'm on the mobile rotation. I can't talk about what happened, but I had to go to the morgue to take postmortem x-rays. That's all I can say. I want to talk about it it was rough, I can't!!! I did however take the stairs most of the afternoon. I took the stairs from the top to the bottom literally. So I did get a work out in :D

(Talked about clinicals)

I talked with B last night about my blog. He said if you were to look up random blog in the encyclopedia, you would see a picture of my blog, and me as the author. Oh well. Its my outlet. I've noticed a change in me since I've started letting a lot more out on here. Since I've started using it "daily". Maybe its because I truly feel like I'm talking to someone? I don't know.. but I'm sorry my blog is random.

He however did say he could not ever blog, because "he doesn't have enough going on in his brain to do that" like a put down to him. As if he has nothing going on in his head! My response - I feel a blog topic coming on. HA HA. He is on his last night of high speeds this week. :D

(Talked about B)

So the people across the courtyard and across the street have had their music on so loud today that I could understand the words in my kitchen with my living room door open. Ridiculous!

(Talked about neighbors)

So yesterday was weigh in day. No changes. NOT A ONE! So at least I didn't gain, but I didn't lose. I did go home, and didn't eat that well, so I'm trying to work harder on that. Hopefully the stairs today will help, and I plan on doing them again tomorrow, as well as swimming?

(talked about weigh in day)

Anyway

Have a good night

Lately, I've been reading John McCain's daugheter's Blog and I found this video on it this weekend. And I figured out how to link a youtube video in to my blog so I'm going to share it. For those of you this offend's I'm sorry. I like the video, I like the message, and if you stop reading my blog because I've voting McCain/Palin, that is your choice, as it is mine to vote for who I want to vote for.

But if you can look past it and keep reading thats even better!!!

Here goes nothing:

Ok I really am Signing Off Now! Good Night!

The Female Micheal P.

2008-09-15T21:32:00.004-05:00

So first of all, I sat down tonight to post on my own blog, 20 minutes later I'm tearing myself away from some random person's blog to write my own. I've come to love reading about random people's lives. I go to one of my fellow bloggers websites, then I click one of their fellow blogger's blogs, next thing I know I've seperated my self by six degrees and I'm reading Kevin's blog. HAHA...you get the point.

I went swimming tonight, after researching for my paper on polycystic kidney disease, and talking to a friend about her recent break-up. I did 35 laps tonight. I was all alone in the pool! I figured I'd make up for being 5 laps short yesterday. Then I was like hmm.. If i do ten more, I'll be at 50 laps in two day! FUN!!! So I did it.

50 Laps in two days, I'm wishing I would have joined the Swim Team back in high school, I could be the female Micheal! Probably not. Even though he eats 12000 calories a day, I still way more than him at my 1000ish. But I can dream.

So when I first started this post my title was "hmm..not sure what to title this" you can now see the current one. :)

The thoughts that go on in my head!

I started trying to breathe to the left tonight, well swimming, I always breathe to the right, so thats my new thing. Train myself to breathe both directions. As well as really working on my form and holding my abs tight. I'm not sure if that will actually do anything to my abs, but again I can dream.

So one of the random posts I was reading was about being your self in your blog. Just incase you were wondering, since almost everyone that reads my blog, I've never met. This is the real true me. The me I wish I wasn't to self-concious to be. The me that doesn't care what people think. Just Me :)

B is on a week of high-speeds, makes it rough to have a realtionship, since he is off when I'm in school, flying when I'm sleeping and he is sleeping when I'm off. But Its only for a few more days.

Well, I think I'm going to get ready for bed and do a bit more studying for my test tomorrow. YAY Pathology!

Thank You for your advice, Capt J's Wife and The pilot's wife. with a bit of freaking out about how exactly do I add it to a gadget, I did it, PLease enjoy my ipod on shuffle!

GRRRR

2008-09-14T21:14:00.004-05:00

So I went down to the pool this evening, planning on doing at least 20 laps.

Two Seconds after I get in the pool, couple walks in. I'm thinking no big deal I'll just swim in this tiny area and they can have the rest of pool.

Well I thought that would be fine, they did keep to other 3/4 of the pool, yet they carried on like two horn balls.

Now, I'm all for flirting in the pool, I've done it. Yet B and I were all alone in the whole pool area. I was made to feel really uncomfortable. So I only did 15 laps, as fast as I could to get my butt out of there. I feel like complaining to the management, but maybe getting it out here will be enough. I just really was excited to get back in the pool after a weekend of being away, and all the 'air' in my balloon of excitement was let out when they started hanging on each other.

On a side note does anyone know how to add music to my blog?

I would also like to make my own page, is there an easy way to do this?? I want it to be designed just how I want it, I don't get html though. Tips???

A frustrated (with lots of things)

Ready to Pack Up

2008-09-14T18:52:00.003-05:00

So as you might have read in my last post, I went home this weekend.

This weekend I ran into so many people from my past. A lot of family friends were out this weekend, and the biggest question I couldn't really answer I got, was "what are your plans after school?"

My plans after school vaguely: get a job, wherever I can.

My dream plans for after school: move out of the state of MN, somewhere warm, but somewhere without hurricanes, and not a whole lot of tornadoes. I have no idea. Somewhere where I can be free to be me, somewhere were B and I can enjoy life. Maybe I'll have a ring, and go where he wants, Ohio by chance? Who really knows about that. I just know I'm going where I can get a job.

Another Pain about going home, I spent the whole weekend at home with my parents. Even though, I did my mom calls me like every 20 min with questions, about random stuff. HELLO MOM, I JUST TOLD YOU I WAS STUDYING, WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME AGAIN?

I spent the whole weekend with you, you could have asked me that yesterday, even this morning before I left.

It just really starts to get on my nerves, you would think after every weekend I go home, I'd be use to this. I'm not. hmm... I hope I'm not like that.

Ok I'm off to Study, since I didn't open a book all weekend.

A Learning about pharmacology

Home, Sweet Home

2008-09-13T15:01:00.005-05:00

Well, this post comes from the artic circle! I've gone home for the weekend, home for me is closer to canada then most people in the US.

I do however want to send my thoughts and prayers out to those affected by IKE. That is why when I move out of this stupid state of MN. (Stupid because winter is coming, and I'm so sick of winter) I will not be moving to a coast state. I'm one girl who is scared of every storm. I want to move somewhere super quiet in terms of weather. :)

I'm home for a wedding of a relative, younger than me, been with the guy less than B and I to I'm sure. I'm a bit jealous lol! However, I'm super happy for her as this guy is supposedly super amazing, i've never spent a whole lot of time with him. And My day will come. :D

Home is nice, I've been naughty and haven't opened a book. I have however had lots of time to play with my cat. I've missed him!

One quick question...How do I post a you tube video on my blog??

Well I need to get all dressed up for the wedding! A plus to being in xray school, I enjoy getting out of my scrubs once and awhile!

A light shade of green

Whew..Test one this week is done

2008-09-09T19:33:00.003-05:00

So I did it!!! I had my facial bones test today, not to bad, after all the extra credit, I only got three points off. WOOP!!!!

Also, weigh in Day...233, thats 2 pounds down in 2 weeks, that 2 pounds behind the goal. But I'm trying to step it up a little bit more!

Well I'm off to study (about 5 more chapters to read this week) and I'm hungry and need to go swimming.

By the way Confessions of a Shopaholic comes out Feb. 13, just saw the preview! I'm excited!

Quick Break

2008-09-08T19:35:00.002-05:00

I took a quick break from studying tonight to go swimming, I doubled my normal amount of laps. I did 20 tonight, I feel spent! However, I did an unofficial weigh in this morning and was not impressed with myself, so I'm trying to step it up! I'll tell you the official weight on Tuesday.

Thanks to Katie for the skull chapter tips, 15 pennies down the well, I hope that comes in handy tomorrow. I'm off to study, but I just wanted to put it out there that I did 20 laps, I'm super proud of myself! I also wanted to thank Katie.

The worst part is I feel like I don't know anything!!!

IF ANYONE OUT THERE HAS STUDIED BONTRAGER'S TEXTBOOK OF RADIOGRAPHIC POSITIONING AND RELATED ANATOMY I NEED TIPS!!!

I have a hard time coming up with little hints to remember postions, I remember the towne view by 30 degrees down town, but thats about it. Don't feel bad if you don't know what a towne is, neither do I LOL!

I had to vent gotta get back to the books!

Have a good night!, weigh in day is tuesday this week so i'll let you know then how it goes!

B didn't like me having a picture of myself on my blog, he said there was to many creepers out there. I however would like to believe no one creepy is reading my blog and would find me because of a picture from 3 years ago, but I am to please. Plus, I think these meez things are cute, others have them and so I broke down and got one. Its "me" blogging :) B should be happy, I am! I think it totally rocks!
I am however super tired after doing my "fat blaster red" "barry's bootcamp" DVD and swimming this morning and then clincials from 1-9 I'm thinking of going to bed.

Changes...

2008-09-04T21:10:00.003-05:00

What a week it has been!

Our new director took over the program this week, we met with her on Tuesday and today to go over all of the changes, some good, some bad, some needed, some not wanted!

The biggest change of all is that instead of two classes at a time, we have 5. We meet two times a week. This is on top of clinicals and I've started working now, so its going to be a very rough year.

I'm worried, our cross-sectional anatomy class is basically doing our workbook. We haven't actually had a class yet, but we have chapters one and two due on Tuesday. This wouldn't be so bad but we don't' actually have a text book. She was trying to save us some money and just got us the workbook. She has one book that we can all use, if needed. FYI I JUST FINISHED IT BUT I NEEDED THE BOOK!! I'm thinking about just ordering if from amazon, but I'm worried she might decide to have us buy them then I would have two, because she would order it without telling us.

I went to my therapy appointment yesterday, I think its really going to help. We talked a lot about vindictive people, but I think we might get to the bottom of my issuses!!!

Anyway I just thought an update was needed. I really need to go study chapter 13 in procedures, chapter one in pathology, chapter 22 in CT. Hey at least I have one class done, and one tech. hasn't started. YAY ME

Should be in bed!

2008-08-31T23:11:00.002-05:00

So I should be sleeping, and I'm tired so I want to be, but I'm at B's and the neighbor's are listening to music, super LOUDLY! B left for a four day yesterday, I however enjoy just being at his condo, even if he isn't here. There is a super comfy couch, and bed. Along with the big screen plasma tv and the surround sound, the only thing missing is food, LOL. Since B isn't usually here his fridge is lacking, but I brought some main things with me because I knew I'd be here all weekend!
We talked yesterday morning before he left about Capt J's wife's post. It was a list of things she wants changed or whatnot. Totally understandable so I told B that when we are married and living together and he is just sitting on reserve he would be helping out around the house. B told me that he will be holding down the couch and catching up on tv because on reserve you have to be ready to go at a moments notice so you can't be in the middle of something. I told him NO, you will at least do things like clean up the bathroom and such, because you can at least start that project and not finish it. I did however say that he didn't have to start laundry unless he knew I was going to be around to finish it. So we agreed and he knows whats expected of him. Yet with out Capt J's wife I would have never thought about it. We are also at least a year from being married so he might conviently "FORGET" this converstation as he seems to do with something....men..

Weigh In Day

2008-08-26T16:30:00.002-05:00

What a weekend!!!
Friday evening started out with my going shopping with a few friends for an outfit to wear out that night. I basically ended up not needing the outfit, as I gave in to peer pressure before we hit the bar, and when we made it to the bar I spent a good hour in the bathroom, then left via cab to go to bed, before midnight. (Too much too fast is not good, but hey I learned a lesson!)
Saturday my classmates and I had orientation for our new positions, AKA we will be doing the exact same thing we do as students only will be staying after hours to get paid! YAY!!! Yet I was still sick from Friday night so that was not fun. I then went to my friends place to get my alochol I had left there, I know longer have it as I dumped it out!!! NO MORE PLEASE!!!Then I headed to B's which is an hour 15 away. I was finally feeling ready to eat so I picked up dinner on my way. When I pulled in to the parking lot of his condo, and turned off my car I realized his keys were at my apartment. So Luckily my aunt let me go hang out with her, yet I wasn't going to tell her I was hung over so that stunk, and B didn't get in from his trip until 0005. So I sat at her house ready to sleep for like 7 hours, not fun.
Then on Sunday B and I hung out at the State Fair, super fun, yet I was in back pain from vomiting.
ANYWAY about this being weigh in day. I had B's eyebrows, they drive me nuts, just super bushy and needing to be cleaned up. Not to mention the semi-unibrow. So we made a deal that if I lose 50 pounds by the end of March (7 Months) He will go to a salon and get them cleaned up. So today it starts. for those of who care I'm at 235. I would love to weigh 135 and this deal was totally my idea. He would never put me in a situation like this on his own. He does however care bout me and knows I'm unhappy about my weight. I plan on weighing every tuesday morning so I'll try keep you up to date.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
A ready to lose weight

Catching up...

2008-08-21T16:31:00.006-05:00

First and Foremost...ITS ALMOST FRIDAY....
Secondly I wanted to talk about my night last night, I was able to catch up with 2 awesome friends last night, talking to them was exactly what I needed last night it was great.
I talked to a friend who has been my best friend since 9th grade. We go through spurts where we talk and where we don't, not that we are fighting or what not, just because we are busy people. I haven't talked to her, really talked, since June. We were able to pick up where we left up basically. I talked to her about everything I've been going through and my idea to go to therapy. (update on that: I made a call today, I have to call back on Tuesday, but the lady I talked to was positive I could be seen Sept. 3 and she was pretty sure she had a match for a therapist for me, yay!) Anyway friend T was very supportive of me going to therapy, it helps that she has been though going to therapy before so that made me a more ready for it.
I also talked to my past roommate about everything new in my life and her's it was so great to talk to her again! I haven't talked to her since may and that was at a wedding so we didn't' get to talk a whole bunch. I've really missed her a lot. She just got a new job and starts Monday, H I would like to wish you the best for luck with the new position.
It was just a really good night, I was feeling really bummed after clinicals. So talking to old friends helped so much!
B got his schedule for Sept, he is holding a line this month, however its a high speed line, but its a line! I can't wait to talk to him about it!

Its Only Tuesday!

2008-08-19T17:36:00.003-05:00

Every few minutes today I had to remind myself it is only Tuesday. Didn't get to bed as soon as I would have liked last night, or the night before, therefore, I'm Thursday tired, not Tuesday tired. I won't be going to bed early tonight either as I'm going to the movies. I finally got invited to do something again so I'm going, I really don't know that much about Pineapple Express, I heard it was a stoner movie, but I'm still going.

I'm kind of nervous about tomorrow, for B's sake. He has court tomorrow for custody. His parents and himself took his son up north yesterday and A (ben's son) met with his mom today. I haven't heard from B yet so I hope that went well, but lately A has been calling me mommy and I've kind liked it, I know I'll never be his "mom" because I'm not. I didn't go through the pregnancy and what not. But I'd really like for him to consider me mom some day, I don't want to take her place however.
I do also, it may be wrong, but I hope B gets full custody. I don't really trust N (A's mom) anymore. For those of you who don't know A was taken away from N in November because he was out side naked in North Dakota. It was her third or forth offense with Social Services, So I'm not to sure what her chances are, but I do know that God will make sure his plan is what is followed through. I'm just really nervous!!!

Anyway I better get supper going and get ready to go to the movies.

Take Care and Have a good night!

Thoughts

2008-08-18T22:33:00.002-05:00

I just got home from a night of babysitting. Whew...I've babysat for these kids before and I adore them, but I'm wiped out, bedtime stunk tonight. Its hard when its not my children and they aren't use to being home with a babysitter, so it was kinda rough tonight.

Anyway, I'm watching last night's episode of Army Wives, and it gets me thinking every time I watch it, how lucky I am that their are people out there serving our country so that I can have the life I have.

I wish I could personally thank every man, woman, mother, father, husband, wife, son, daughter, brother, sister, cousin to every person serving in our armed forces. They definatly are a number one hero in my book! Seriously THANK YOU!!!!!! I can't imagine what you all go through on a daily basis. I think its hard being a girlfriend to an airline pilot, but man to be involved with someone in the armed forces has got to be rough.
Anyway I'm off to bed. Thank You service men, women, and families.

Saturday Night...

2008-08-16T21:01:00.003-05:00

Okay first of all I just realized its 2100 on a Saturday! Anyway, I'm still recovering from my cold earlier in the week. I also just realized, I'm newly addicted to the internet. From Blogging here or my new favorite forum for a pilot's support system.
I've done a lot of blogspot surfing and message boarding today.
But I also did 5 loads of laundry and went shopping!!
B got to his over night at like noon today. I still find that funny after all his trips like that. However he had already flown four flights. CRAZY!!!!
I'm actually enjoying this day of nothing I have to do. I didn't have to go anywhere, see anyone or even talk to anyone. Its been awhile since I've had one of those days.

So random thing i read on JetGirls. It was something about separating classes on planes between Passengers with no kids and Families.

I'm really split on this idea. I do however believe it would take a lot of work for this to happen, and as most airlines work these days it would never happen.

However, I'm just thinking what I would like: I do think this a wonderful idea.
I've traveled alone and I've traveled with B's Son A.
I think that it would be a wonderful idea, so that I don't have to worry about A (or my own children when that day comes) disturbing other passengers. I'm one of those people on a plane who is very observant to those around I do my best to do things that will not bother them. So when I traveled with A it was a lot of work making sure he was kicking the seat in front of me or screaming and what not. If there was a family only section, I wouldn't have to worry as much if A was doing that, because more than likely he wouldn't be the only child doing it.
I would also have a more peaceful trip when flying by myself, however I don't mind children most of the time, I have my moments when I want quietness, or not to have a "back massage".

Whats your take?

Well I'm going to get ready for bed I think.
Have a good night and Safe flying.

What Every Guy Needs to Know...

2008-08-16T14:10:00.003-05:00

1. Touch her waist.

9. Invite her somewhere.

10. Hangout with her and your friends together.

11. Smile with her.

12. Take pictures with her.

13. Pull her onto your lap.

14. When she says she loves you more, deny it. Fight back.

15. When her friends say I love her more than you, deny it. Fight back and hug her tight so she can’t get to her friends. It makes her feel loved.

16. Always hug her and say I love you whenever you see her.

17. Kiss her unexpectedly.

19. Tell her she’s beautiful.

20. Tell her the way you feel about her.

21. Open doors for her, walk her to her car- it makes her feel protected, plus it never hurts to act like a gentleman.22. Tell her she’s your everything - only if you mean it.

23. If it seems like there is something wrong, ask her- if she denies something being wrong, it means SHE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT- so just hug her.

24. Make her feel loved.

25-Kiss her in front of OTHER people you know!

26- Don’t lie to HER.

ARE YOU STILL READING THIS? YOU BETTER BECAUSE, IT’S IMPORTANT

31. Hold her close when she’s cold so she can hold YOU too.

32. When you are ALONE hold her close and kiss her.

33. Kiss her on the CHEEK (it will give her the hint that you want to kiss her). I personally love to be kissed on the forehead, it does the same thing (please remember that B)

34. While in the movies, put your arm around her and then she will automatically put her head on your shoulder, then lean in and tilt her chin up and kiss her LIGHTLY.

35. Don’t EVER tell her to leave even jokingly or act like you’re mad. If shes upset, comfort her.

36. When people DISS her, stand up for her.

37. Look deep into her EYES and tell her you love her.

38. Lay down under the STARS and put her head on your chest so she can listen to the steady beat of your heart, Link your fingers together while you whisper to her as she rests her eyes and listens to you.

39. When walking next to each other grab her HAND.

40.When you hug her HOLD her in your arms as long as possible,MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS SHES LOVED

41.Call or text her at night to wish her SWEET DREAMS.

42. COMFORT her when she cries and wipe away her tears.

43. Take her for LONG walks at night.

44. ALWAYS Remind her how much you love her.

45. Tell her how much you love her and then bend down to her face and kiss her you’ll never know when she needs just a little more love.

Please Spread this message so the men in your life will know how to treat a girl, a little bit better.

Looking Up

2008-08-16T14:10:00.001-05:00

Well B and I had a super long, serious discussion last night, and I think we are starting to understand a little bit better. I really think a lot of everything that happened last night was because of things at school as well. I was really stressed out last night, but some of it was our relationship as well.

B is in DSM for the night, first night of a 3 day. Barely talked to him.. but hey I guess whats what happens when you are a big ol’ captain on the bottom of the list.

He had two high speeds before tonight so he was tired when I talked to him at 2130. He had already taken a nap by mistake. He is so cute when he is tired. However I don’t think I’m going to be to sad about not seeing him on Sunday when he is done! The last day of four and five days can be rough, this is the last day of 6days on duty. Watch out!

Today was a pretty good day that the hospital for me, we only had one procedure in my room all day, which after the week of running with my head cut off and recovering from a cold, I was happy about. Made for a long day, and having a suduko puzzle I couldn’t get made it worse.

So I started making calls today about going to a therapist. Turns out its expensive!! And its hard to call people on a Friday at 1630-1700! LOL. So I’ll start over on Monday.

Anyway, Tomorrow looks like a day of laundry and unpacking the few boxes I have left to unpack. Also a trip to Target and Sam’s Club. If I get around to it!

Sunday, I’ll probably study my chapter on facial bones some more, and then maybe If B is really nice, I’ll go down to MSP to see B, his parents and his son.

Okay folks, thats all Have a good weekend!

So Alone...(Again)

Well a lot has happened since my last post, as usual!

In April B and I went to Florida to visit my cousin. We had a blast.

Before and after my trip, myself and 3 “friends” were looking into getting a place to live together for this year. I got a call one night saying the four of us need to talk, so I agreed. I ended up going to one of the girls places and basically walked into a big talk about me, and jess, the one i was living with at the time. The other two had basically been put in the middle and had had enough. However, they basically choose Jess’s side and have left me out to dry. Even though Steph and I were really close.

So here I am again Living alone and loving it. HOWEVER!! I’m so sick of feeling like I have no friends, except when they are having an issue.

To make it worse…B has upgraded to captain, back to 10 days off and is based in Detroit now, not Minneapolis. and he has to go to Ohio on his days off still has his son is still out there. So B has no more weekends off, I’m at clinicals almost all every day, and now when I’m not at the hospital as a student I will be working. So seeing him is going to be almost impossible. And he doesn’t seem to think you can drive from Minneapolis to here. Like the road only goes one way. He had a high speed last night and doesn’t fly until 8 am, tonight would have been a good time to hang out, but he has things to do. Like I don’t all the times I make trips to him!!! But I do it, because I want to spend time with him. Seems as though that is a one way thing as well lately. He had all day to get his things done, then he could have came up for a little bit and drove back, its only an hour drive, and I do it quite a bit!!! However, when I bring it up all he says is I’ve been doing things, and still have things to do!! I just don’t get it.

I don’t understand what is so wrong with me that people in general don’t like to hang out with me. I don’t think I smell, I don’t need anything from people but companionship. I’m smart, and I’m not THAT ugly, I’m by no means hot, but on my good days, i don’t think i look to bad.

IF anyone out there has gone through this how did you make it through?? I’m sick of only having “friends” because that person needs something from me, or because no one else was around. I just don’t get it….HELP!!!!!

Okay, well thats enough!

I just needed an outlet thanks for letting me vent, maybe tomorrow will be better!

All Moved In

Well, I’m been living with Jess for 2 weeks now, all is going well, its kind of a nice change from coming home to an empty place. I do miss some of my old place, i.e. the storage. But thats about it!

As for this coming weeks events,

Valentine’s Day! B was already given his present, I got him a grill pan for his gas stove top. He enjoyed it I like to think. Anyway we won’t be together on the 14th as he has to be at a custody hearing. So I’m a little bummed about that as it is cutting into my time with him. He was also suppose to work the 14th, but had to do some switching. Turned out that scheduling was willing to work with him. SURPRISE SURPRISE!

However, we will be together on Tuesday and a little bit of the day on Wednesday. I’m hoping he realizes how important this year is to me. I feel like we’ve kind of been drifting apart the last few months with all the custody stuff going on. Therefore I want our own special valentine’s day to be really romantic, and I hope he knows that. I’m not saying I want a ring and all that jazz, just maybe a gift and a date with a little bit of thought put into it. I’ve loved my flowers the last two years, but He uses his american express points to buy them, and this year I want something more, unexpected I guess.

Anyway,
I have to be up at 6 for clinicals so I’m off to bed. Have a wonderful night.
