My wife's mom did it to her again. She says that she got leg poisoning. But, she went out yesterday to a wedding and a reception. We were planning on taking her out to eat and then to Wal-Mart today. My wife predicted that she would find some way to back out of it. Well, she did.
My wife's mom keeps on hurting her over and over again. I want to keep them having a relationship, but I don't like seeing her hurt. I guess I have always been a momma's boy. Speaking of which, I need to call my mom. But, that is beside the point. I know that she does love her mom very dearly. When her mom hurts her, I get flustered. Here I am pushing her to be with her mom, then boom her mom hurts her again. What do I do??? Suddenly do a complete change, or keep on pushing?? What I should do is the change. What I end up doing is the pushing. At least until I can get my mind reset. I don't deal real well with sudden changes with my wife. At work if there is a sudden change, I don't have to change my mind set, I just go do what needs done. At home, if there is a sudden change, there is nothing to be done. I have to change my mindset. It is difficult. Now, don't get me wrong. Work is challenging mentally. I have to constantly think of new ways to give pills, get this person into the shower, deal with that psycho family member, deal with this nice family member that never asks for anything unless her mom/dad needs something.... All of this stuff you have to think about. But, I can keep one thing in mind. The rules for resident rights. At home, I am torn. There aren't any rules to live by. Keep the house tidy, do the dishes, ... Stuff like that has no rules. I know what part of it is. My wife has depression. I personnally don't have it, so there is no way that I can understand it. I know that when she is depressed, I get upset. Not upset and yelling and hitting and that type of stuff, but upset for her. Although she doesn't believe it, she is everything to me. I wouldn't know what to do without her. I love her more than life itself. I would trade bodies with her in a heart beat, just to give her a break. I guess I just don't know how to deal with her getting hurt, because it affects me so profoundly. Is that being selfish??? I shouldn't let it effect me until I can get her passed whatever it is that is depressing her. I try to look at optimisitic things. Like maybe her mom really does have a problem as to why she went out yesterday, but can't go out today.
But, those type of things aren't what my wife needs to hear. She needs to hear me say, "Well, let's just go out ourselves and forget about her. She isn't worth it anyway."
I do love you honey. I hate seeing your mom or anyone hurt you. I just want to help.
*hugs*
What's in a name...
1. What is your middle name and what does it mean?
Charles. Although the name Charles creates the urge to be reliable and responsible, we emphasize that it frustrates you through a scattered and emotional nature. This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the liver, bloodstream, and through worry and mental tension.
As Charles, you have a natural interest in the welfare of your fellow man, and a desire to help and serve others in a humanitarian way. You are responsible and generous, although somewhat scattering and disorganized at times. Any jobs requiring systematic and conscientious effort, or involving any form of drudgery, dismay you. In your work, you would seek a position offering self-expression through contact with people, such as sales or teaching, or a position giving scope to your creative, artistic talents. You are good-natured and likeable, and people tend to confide in you and seek your advice in personal problems. Others sense your sincere interest and desire to help, and you can always be counted on to see the bright side of any problem.

8. What one thing would you do to help the world be a better place for all?
smile. I would have said whistle because I read this true story about a lady that was walking through Grand Central Station whistling. She brought a smile to a lot of people's faces and made a gloomy ride on the subway to work seem that much more pleasent. But, I can't whistle, and my singing would make a cat cover its ears. So, I just smile. :)

I have three tests next week in one class. Well, 2 of them are quizzes. I have a terms quiz, a bone naming quiz, and on Friday I have a test of chapters 7-11. And, we just had a test last week over chapters 1-6. The other students that are in the nursing program this year have tests EVERY day next week. They have nutrition and something else tests on top of the ones for A&P. *chuckle*
Marli figured up my score and I am running at about an 85%. I think this is better than most of the class. But, I am not sure. I know I did better than some of them on the first chapters test. :)
So far, the only thing that has scared me was the first bone naming quiz. It had to do with the bones in the skull. I was worried about it until I made a bunch of copies of the skull and named them over and over again the night before. I went into the class feeling great about it. I took the quiz and was the first one done and I am positive that I aced it. But, since we don't have it back yet, I guess I will have to wait for the teacher to verify that I aced it. *cackle*
I called last month sometime and asked when St. Francis was going to have their next seminar about gastric bypass. It is the first step in a long stream of steps to getting it done out here. Anyway, they told me that it was on the second Tuesday of each month. Which I thought was kind of wierd because the first lady I talked to said it was on the second SATURDAY of each month. The lady said it was on August 10th. My wife pointed out to me that the last one was on July 10th. So, we went out and bought a fridge, and had it arranged to be delivered on Wednesday MORNING. The guy that sold it to us said, "No problem". We go to Topeka for the seminar, which wasn't today. It is this Saturday. You know the second Saturday in August. :)
We get home and have a message from the people delivering the fridge. They told us it is between 2 and 6 PM. I will be at work. This is why we made sure that it would be delivered in the morning. Tomorrow, we need to be by the phone so that we can make an appointment for Thursday morning. Which is the morning after my wife has her sleep study. I am going to be so TIRED. :)
I don't believe people. We schedule our lives around what others tell us, and it turns out that they misinformed us so now we have to smash our schedules even more to compensate!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I paid fees, I paid fees, I paid fees. I am so happy now. I am officially getting edjumacated!!!! YEE HAW!!! Just what all of youse wants in life. Having a Red Neck as a nurse!!! *cackle*
I am not OFFICIALLY in the LPN program. But, if ONE more person drops between now and a week from tomorrow (Monday), I am an LPN student. And, there goes my work and class schedule all over the place. :P
I may have to pick up weekends. Like I don't usually, but I was planning on keeping them for studying. :)
