ARE YOU A MOM OR A DAD?
One of my friends e-mailed this to me and I thought I would share it with you.
Mom Test
I was out walking with my 4 year old daughter. She picked up something
off the ground and started to put it in her mouth. I took the item away from
her and I asked her not to do that.
"Why?" my daughter asked.
"Because it's been on the ground, you don't know where it's been, it's
dirty, and probably has germs," I replied.
At this point, my daughter looked at me with total admiration and asked,
"Momma, how do you know all this stuff, you are so smart."
I was thinking quickly.
"All moms know this stuff. It's on the Mom Test. You have to know it,
or they don't let you be a Mom."
We walked along in silence for 2 or 3 minutes, but she was evidently
pondering this new information.
"OH...I get it!" she beamed, "So if you don't pass the test you have to be the dad."
''Exactly," I replied back with a big smile on my face.

STOLEN IMAGES
I know that me stealing images off of other peoples blog's is kind of creepy. Right?! But, this one just brought tears to my eyes. It is from Girltalk.blogs.com and the picture is titled Mom-Mom and Owen. It just reminded me of my mom for several reasons: 1) we called her Mom-Mom. 2) when we went to see her, she would bathe my kids and wrap them up in a towel on her lap until they warmed up. 3) Her beautiful loving smile.
You never get over loosing a parent! The days get easier, that's all.

HOT!!!
What is the difference between 102 degrees in the summer and 102 degrees in the winter?
With a temp of 102 in the summer, you are probably talking about how hot it is outside. You want ice tea, lemonade, or a bottle of water. Your kids are begging for ice cream or a slush from Sonic. Reading a book inside an air conditioned house is all you think of while you are at the pool with the kids. Plans are being made to go on vacation or for the annual 4th of July bash. Just think, it will be here before you know it!
But, the temp of 102 I am referring to now is my daughter, Ashley’s. This is the temp that bothers me more than anything. I would take all of the illness on myself so that she would not have to endure it? The pitiful sound of her cough, the heart-rending looks on her face, and loss of upbeat personality just break my heart.
There are many of you that have children who have been sick during this season and I am glad they are well. The one’s who have not been blessed with the “bug”, keep it clean! Maybe they won’t get it!!

WHAT DOES CYNICAL LOOK LIKE??
As I was on my way home tonight from work I was thinking, I really have become a cynical person. This is really hard to admit, but along with being cynical, I have also become judgemental. Why is that?
This was an especially hard weekend and I will gladly give you a peak into my Sat. Sun. life. I do not expect you reading this to know some of these terms, but since I am simple minded, I'll keep it simple minded.
Sat: Female drug dealer stabbed in neck down to chest, open chest, planning on going back to the OR, unstable blood pressure, O2 sats keep dropping. What the heck? I don't know what else in my scope of care to do? What perfect timing...Dr walks in. Lets Bronch her. I think she is going into ARDS, but what do I know, I just a Respiratory Therapist. Lungs are bloody, but we already knew that. Increase vent settings. To unstable to go to OR. Put it off until Sunday.
Crazy family, but is that really her family? There are several different people who claim to be her mamma. We already know mamma died several years ago.
SUN: She seems to be doing some what better..UUH....Until...she comes back from surgery. Chest closed and a new chest tube in. O2 sats dropping again. Nurse calling me to come "fix" her. I perform magic. My wand must be broke, because it's not working. Call Trauma Dr., He is scrubbing in for surgery, call the resident. Blood gas, CXR, and change settings on vent. We can't go up on O2 any more. She is already on 100%. She is in ARDS, I am telling y'all. We need to do something else. But what, the only other option is High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilator that is last ditch effort and they are NEVER to anxious to start one. Why doesn't the resident just come and look at her. Call Blood gas results are crap. Almost EXACTLY the same. Finally, he is going to come up to the unit. What do you think "Dr." "Oh lets just ride it out for a while. " WHAT? Ride it out, until when? We're going to wait until she codes, then do something.
What the heck? Why didn't you just sell that crack rock for $5 lady. Then you wouldn't be in this mess.
Ok, now multiply that by 4, through in a couple of other patients and you have a day in the ICU where I work. No not all were drug dealers. One was a 17 y/o girl who was doing the drugs and in a wreck, one was a lawyer who was also in a wreck and fractured C3-4. One was a man from Baton Rouge, up here with business and missed the curb & hit his head after several glasses of wine, and one has been there for so long he is seriously rotting in the bed. He codes several times a week.
Now, Why am I cynical?
The other way to look at it is, she is still God's creation. There is no doubt that she has been trough a lot in her lifetime. That is really sad. No body should have to face whatever pushed her to this point in her life. So, while I am cynical, I am still sensitive to the fact that she is a human and God loves her no matter what!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Just thought I would share some of the most recent scrapbook pages I have created.
NOW, Look what I got for Christmas -->
I have not had time to learn all of the specifics of my new camcorder. However, from what I do know about it, my favorite feature is the ability to take digital photos and then go right back to the video feature. As for this other "black box", I love it!! My new external hard drive. 25o GB or something like that...I really leave all of the number talk up to Mike. After exhausting a 2 GB and a 4 GB jump drive, he finally realized that I needed an external hard drive. "YEA!!!"
AND
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
