Family News!

For those I haven't spoke to recently I have great news. I have finished up with school, I also have a job working in Registration at McCune Brooks Regional Hospital here in Carthage, and graduation is set for Friday, November 13th in Joplin. I still haven't received any news on my test results from my big RMA exam those I should be receiving within the next month. Those are the really exciting things, We did have one downer, we were going to lease to own a house from the owners, but things didn't work out, there was a lot more work that needed to be done than we were willing or had the time and money to do, so we moved in, found out it had problems before we signed a contract, and moved out all in the same weekend. That would explain the being out of touch and not getting the October workshop as promised. I'm hoping things will now settle down and life can get back to some resemblance of normalcy. (yeah right what is normal anymore)

I just wanted to thank everyone for all of the moral support you have provided me during the last 13 months while I was attending school. Your voices of confidence were exactly what I needed. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

On to my clinicals!

Well I finally finished up the class room portion of my school now I'm onto the clincials/externship part of it. This is definatly not what I expected. I ended up getting to work (mind you it's for free, kinda like slave labor) for Heart Care which is a part of St. John's in Joplin. It's hard getting the kids to there places and me to Joplin, from Carthage, by 8am. Chet's been working a lot of overtime so it's just me getting the kids were they need to go. When I said slave labor that's exactly what I meant, I have to watch alot of things they do, I do get to do BP's and pulse rate and sometimes weight but that's pretty much it. I'm not using much of anything else I learnt. Oh they did have me calling and verifying appointments, filing, faxing prescriptions and referrals. I'm pretty good at using a copier and a fax machine, I can say that, if its the one thing I get to do I guess I will do it to the best of my ability. Most of the medications the patients are on I can not pronounce, and man is there a lot. Some patients are on 10/15+ medications. WOW!!!

I can say I am greatly disappointed but I will grin and bare it as a learning experience. LOL So with all of that being said, I'm sorry I haven't posted as much as normal, with school and studying for finals, and then my big Registered Medical Assistant test last weekend. I've been a bit stressed out. But today I am going to work on a few things I've been wanting to get done. First I owe my daughter a paper pumpkin for her daycare class to display, the two of us are going to work on it together. Who knows what we will come up with. Then I owe my mom and myself our calender page for October, yes mom I am very sorry I will get that done today hopefully. Then I might try doing something else fun, but first I want to spend the day with my kiddos. So I guess I better get off of here and get to work uh.

Saturdays workshop projects!

While watching Wipe Out and Car Crash tonight on ABC I finished up the projects for this weekends workshop. I am very pleased with them and even more pleased that I am getting a chance to use up some of my paper. Now I won't feel so terrible when I buy some of the new stuff from the Fall/Winter Idea Book that goes live on September first.





The two page layout is from Cherish, Golden Section, I used Animal Cookies Level 2 Paper Packet. The cards are some that I scraplifted and added a bit to from a August SOTM blog hop I checked out. (There was 64 blog pages to visit and I can't remember which ones I took ideas from, I'm sorry!) The Happy Birthday card is made using Emporium Level 2 Paper Packet and the Celebrate card was made using the Back Country Level 2 Paper Packet.

If you planning on attending the workshop please let me know by Friday so that I can have pieces of the project cut in advance. Remember class starts at 10 am and class cost is only going to be $10 instead of the $15 I orginally planned. It will cover the two page spread and the two cards. (title can be changed to fit your need on the scrapbook page)

Supplies needed: 12 x 12 paper trimmer, Adhesive, Foam Dimensional squares, and micro-tip scissors. If you'd like you can bring your favorite snack for us all to share. I can't wait til this weekend I hope your as excited as I am.

Your friend,
