No defecit

That's my goal. Wait, that makes it sound like I'm an under-achiever. I'm really not. I do have higher expectations of myself, but when all is said and done, the important thing is that I pass my classes. :) So far, so good. I had my first exam in med/surg yesterday and my first exam in pediatric nursing today. I passed them both. I actually nearly aced my peds test. Med/surg was rough! They still have to PAR our exams, so my scores might go up a bit. I'm hoping for a few percentage points in med/surg just to give me a bit more of a buffer.

Life is keeping my busy!!! My calendar is full. I had an exam yesterday, one today, a careplan and assessment due on Thursday when I get to my clinical, a SNA meeting tomorrow, my first shift at the U is on Friday night. I have another med/surg exam on Monday. I also have two careplans to memorize for OB that I need to pass off, a few videos to watch in the library at school and two service learning projects to help coordinate and do.

Last night about dinner time Maddie had a horrible croupy coughing fit and we decided she needed some medication. I packed up my peds book and notes and we headed to the ER while Aaron stayed home with the twins. I ended up not having time to look at my notes much, but it turned out okay. The doctor gave her an oral steroid and sent us home with two more doses. I'm glad we went, the night was quiet and she seems much better today.

The girls are so much fun. The other day Cami came up to Aaron and very seriously said "I not Cami, I Ku Fu Panda!" The twins love panda bears. We picked up takeout from Panda Express the other day and they were so excited about the pictures on the bag and the boxes. We went to the fair on Saturday and they loved the animals. Church on Sunday was actually pretty uneventful - I took crayons and paper and the three girls used their chairs as a desk and colored quietly throughout most of Sacrament Meeting. Both Brie and Cami went to nursery without any fuss and that was so nice! Maddie's been home sick the last two days, I'm hoping she'll be well enough to go tomorrow. She's getting a little stir-crazy.

Aaron has been great with the girls and patient with me as I get back into the school groove. We're taking it a day at a time and we're really looking forward to the semester being over but we're all managing okay! Oh - and we've booked a trip to Disneyland for a week in December. That will be great! Less than 3 months to go!!!
