Right now, I feel like I am on a bad luck streak. I get on these streaks from time to time. Let me just tell you, I can't wait until it is over. It's like, what else can go wrong?? I'll explain later....
July 4th is my favorite holiday. I don't know why. It's not like we do anything special. However, this year, I was off, and we decided to have our friends Jen, Aaron, Dale, Mary Beth and their son Wesley over for a cookout. It was so nice seeing everyone. We got to see Wesley for the first time. He is so cute! I loved holding him. It almost gave me baby fever!! Anyway, earlier that day, we went to Otwell for the parade that they have for the 4th. We had to leave before it ended because Lily was getting way too hot. We totally forgot her hat and she was bright red and sweating. We got there late and didn't get the shaded area. So, we left, I was pushing fluids (yeah, the nurse in me was coming out) so she wouldn't get dehydrated. John and I had every intention of taking Lily to the fireworks that night. However, she was so tired, we couldn't keep her up (Thanks eastern time zone!)
Lily meeting Wesley...she gave him a kiss!
My nephew Braden Jack entered the world on July 7th at 4:36 pm at The Women's Hospital in Evansville. He weighed in at 7lbs 13 oz and 19.5 inches long. He is such a doll. His big brother Dillon is not a happy camper. He doesn't want the share the spotlight. However, if he pretends that his name is Ian, then he will acknowledge him. Long story about the name Ian, but Dillon wanted to name is brother that so bad, but my sister didn't like it at all. So, I guess Dillon will call him that anyway. 
Meeting Braden for the first time
Ok, so on to my bad luck streak. I guess you can say it started in June when I got my first speeding ticket. I was going to work and a cop clocked me at 59 in a 35. However, I was NOT in the 35 mph zone yet. I was in the 45 (yeah, it's still speeding, but not as bad). Anyway, the cop asked me where I work and I told him. He asked me if it was an emergency....ok, so I could have easily lied here. However, I thought, no if you are truthful, he will give you a break. So, I was completely honest with him and I got a big fat ticket. $191.50 later, I am broke and pissed off.
Then, some issues has started with my family, which I will not go into. Then, I went to the grocery store yesterday. I was not having a good day as is, because Lily was NOT cooperating. Anyway, I came home and I dropped the gallon of milk I just bought and it busted all over the kitchen floor. Of course, this is an invitation for Lily to play in it. So, that was a huge mess to clean up. This morning, I was getting in my car to go to work, I backed up and heard this horrible sound. John was getting into his truck and jumped out. I seriously thought something was caught under my car. John made me get out. He looked and couldn't find anything. So, instead of looking and both of us being late for work. He just took me to work. John thought something was going on with my brakes. Tonight, John fixed the problem....THANK GOODNESS!! There was a rock stuck inside my tired up against my brakes. Wow...didn't know it couldn't make such a sound. Then, the worst thing so far, I had a patient's family refuse me as a nurse. Seriously!!! I have NEVER in my career as a nurse had this happen to me. At first, I was really upset about it. However, after hearing the reason, it made me mad and sad at the same time. I will tell you that health care is becoming ridiculous. A hospital is not a hotel. I cannot be a nurse, teacher, psychologist, mentor, pharmacist, maid, cook, spiritual leader, personal assistant, or babysitter at the same time. I am one person trying my best. This is why, I really hate my job. You do your best and people seriously expect more out of you. In this case, I did everything they wanted, but yet, it wasn't good enough. So, whatever.
Well, I guess that's it for me. I hope everyone has a wonderful week. I just hope mine gets better!
